You ever thought of interflora they do plant haulage and you won’t need hiab almi cpcs etc.
Just a licence CPC and tachocard
I had one of those books once upon a time.
Heck of a lot of good advice, but I still needed lots and lots of practical help to get to grips with it all in real life.
All these courses certificate you need for plant hire etc. do any count towards your CPC? I know.hiab ones do although did hear once that some don’t count towards it
Depends on the training provider
Hard to read it when they drive past me 
Oh dear, Carryfast! Parking BRTs as a dogsbody/labourer is not a test driver in anyone’s lingo.
Clydesdale and big heavy loads have never before been used in the same paragraph. A Clydesdale’s good for what, eightish ton? Have you ever carried a "big heavy load "?
You failed miserably as a tradesman, then in transport. Perhaps your true calling was as an advertising copy writer, with your undeniable talent for embellishment and bsing without actually lying.
A couple of examples that would be right up your alley.
Unless your terminology differs considerably from ours, the OP was making enquiries about low loader/float work, not Council owned odds and ends on a Tonka truck.
Watch out though, if you are bringing them in over the water, the new border checks are up and running…!
If you’re doing a course to qualify as a 360 degree excavator operator, why would that be eligible for Driver CPC?
A Hiab carrying vehicle goes on the road, so it can be squeezed into the DCPC syllabus, the excavator does not, so can not.
I’ve just done my Allmi, it was a 2 day course and I was able to get one day to count to my CPC. The other day included an actual test therefore it was specifically excluded as being valid for CPC. Actually being taught something and passing a test proving you’ve learnt something means that it is prohibited from qualifying as CPC.
Because being assessed/examined isn’t being taught, it’s checking for transfer of knowledge; ADR exams (which last for about half a day) also do not count for DCPC hours, some TMCPC courses get approved (in part) for DCPC, but not the exam day.
The DCPC syllabus was created with a specific bar to exams, I think the idea was to make it less problematic / more acceptable
Ironically, in the future, the proposed National DCPC, which is expected to be a short, formal DVSA-administered pass-or-fail exam (or exams plural, they haven’t fully decided yet), with no obligatory hours of being taught, will be all you need to get your blue card (but not valid for driving within the EU).
I’m sure the Queen was alive in 1972.But not poor old Eddy.
WTF is a BRT and only you or a UPS manager could confuse fire truck test driver with yard labourer.
Trust me a Muir Hill shovel or a Drott dozer would make quite a mess of Reigate or Dorking High Street after it flies off the high load deck of a multi lift.You obviously don’t even know what I’m talking about.
Also don’t really get the idea that Hiabs have the slightest thing to do with plant haulage. You won’t generally see that 8 or 9t of plant dangling on the end of one.Let alone something bigger.
BRT.
Big Red Truck. 
There are hundreds of thousands of cars and trucks built every year, worldwide, that come off the manufacturing line and go into holding yards without being test driven. You expect us to swallow your fantasy that you, a failed, unqualified apprentice, is suddenly a test driver? Pull the other one, it plays Jingle Bells!
It doesn’t take much for an insecure load to make a mess on any roadway, be it High Street or Highway.
BTW, a drott and bulldozer are two different machines, but look similar, so I fully understand someone with limited knowledge confusing the two.
I’d like to see you load a Cat 950 or 140 on a Clydesdale.

He would, he could but whether he should…

We called them aircraft crash tenders and refinery tenders not big red trucks.
All built to customer order and each had to be individually road tested to make sure that they were actually capable of reaching a fire in time to be worth putting out.
The same applies in the case to the domestic types that you also seem to call a big red truck.
You’d obviously know that if you had the slightest idea of fire truck manufacturing which you obviously don’t.
A Drott can be/is fitted and interchanged with either a dozer or a loading shovel attachment and have a back actor like a JCB.
A Muir Hill like a Bray among others is meant to be just a shovel but it will sort of doze if you tip the bucket almost vertical.
I’d like to see anyone try to lift either with a Hiab.Although of anyone would buy and fit a Hiab to try it, it would probably be you.To save you using the multi lift or low loader and driving or winching it onto the load deck.
Then when it falls off the back on Dorking High Street causing carnage you’ll no doubt say no worries only some bull dust and sheep or roos harmed.
Please don’t insult our intelligence, expecting us to believe your fantasy induced embellishments (note the use of over polite terminology). You may accept it as true, after fantasizing it for many years, thats often the case with underachieving people, who lack self respect.
From failed apprentice to test driver racing heavy vehicles up and down Reigate or Dorking High Streets, to see how fast they can go!
That’s a stretch even for you.
HHmmmm…
If you wanted to test the durability, strength, and resilience of a bit of kit, would you give it to a competent, gentle, and mechanically sympathetic driver?
That’ll be the load of bull Carryfast learned on!
