Many HGV vacancies ask for six months, a year, or even two years of commercial driving. LearnHGV highlights roles where the employer or recruiter explicitly says newly qualified drivers are welcome. We check the source vacancy before applying that label — silence on experience is not enough.
Yes — some hauliers and agencies say newly qualified drivers are welcome. We only use that label when the advert says so, not just because it forgot to mention experience.
Often they do. Agencies are a common first job after passing. Listings marked Agency are recruiters filling a role, not the haulier you will drive for.
If it asks for six months or a year and does not also welcome new passers, it is probably not a first job. We keep those off this page. Apply where the vacancy is explicit.
