What's the best place to live for a Class 1 driver?

I’d have thought in his cab?

Judging by the amount of foreign colleagues over here i would suggest anywhere in eastern Europe.

Sorry in advance, but can’t resist…
Close to the yard!!
Sorry again!!!

if i had to relocate and start my driving career again i would move to Aberdeen or Inverness, a couple of trips south a week would just about do and knowing that as the scenery gets nicer you are getting closer to home would also be a bonus

anywhere there are no roads,

I’ve been wondering what is the best place in the country to live to be a class 1 driver?
Where is the highest concentration of jobs for drivers, highest concentration of distribution centers , supermarket distribution centers?
Where is it easiest to find a job for a class 1 driver?
I’ve heard of Avonmouth area, around Dartford bridge, what about other parts of the country?

Bristol and Avonmouth in particular is an excellent area as Nick has already quoted, oh and also house prices and rentals are very realistic too especially compared to Dartford way.

near where you work :smiley:

If you can’t pass an assessment and get a driving job around Northampton, you don’t deserve the licence!

Agreed. I know of many drivers who have relocated to Northampton for work. A lot of lads from South Wales, a fair amount from the North East, even some from the North West. Some have moved ‘lock, stock & barrel’ i.e. moved their families with them but there are also a lot who just have digs and go home every other weekend.
