I was told that you can exchange the car entitlement of your licence but not your hgv entitlement.

Which is the same arrangement we have with them.

Discoman, I would advise you strongly to get some fork lift experience and you will probably have to take a fork lift test when you get over here, especially if you start delivering to the market’s. Good luck mate, it’s not easy at the beginning but it’s well worth it in the end. :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:
