I recently passed my HGV license test, and I couldn’t have done it without the amazing support and guidance of Lauren, Rob, and Sean. From the very beginning, Lauren was incredibly helpful in organizing everything and making sure I had all the information I needed. Her professionalism and friendly approach made the entire process smooth and stress-free. A huge thank you to Rob and Sean for their exceptional training. Their patience, expertise, and ability to explain things clearly gave me the confidence and skills I needed to succeed. They always went the extra mile to make sure I was fully prepared, and their encouragement made a real difference. I’m truly grateful to the whole team for their dedication and support. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to get their HGV license — you’ll be in great hands!

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some common questions we are asked. We’ve listed a few here for your convenience.

Are you part of Tockwith Training Services?2023-10-12T16:43:12+01:00

All of our instructors worked previously at Tockwith Training Services in York (driving school with yellow trucks) and since the owners retired we have formed Wetherby Training.

What is a Class 1 license?2023-04-20T16:38:24+01:00

A Class 1 HGV driver is able to drive Category C+E vehicles – an articulated lorry weighing 7.5 tonnes or more with detachable cabs and trailers which can generally carry loads of up to 44 tonnes.

Understanding Rigid Body Vehicles2023-04-20T16:34:30+01:00

A rigid body vehicle is a type of vehicle that maintains its shape and size even when subjected to external forces. This means that the vehicle’s body does not deform or change shape when it encounters bumps or obstacles on the road. Rigid body vehicles are commonly used in off-road vehicles, military vehicles, and heavy-duty trucks.

What is a Class 2 license?2023-04-20T16:32:58+01:00

A Class 2 driving licence allows you to drive a Category C rigid body vehicle. Category C vehicles or rigid body vehicles are vehicles where the cab and the trailer are fixed securely to each other. Having a Category C licence, allows you drive rigid vehicles over 3500kg and tow a trailer up to 750kg. If you want to drive an articulated lorry you will need a Class 1 HGV licence.

What is the CE Category?2023-03-17T10:59:21+00:00

This category covers goods vehicles towing trailers – these are the largest trucks you see on the UK roads, also know as artics or Class 1. The most common vehicles in this category are any large articulated or drawbar trucks – seen frequently on motorways and busy ‘A’ roads.
