SebBrady Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Hi all its just a quick question really, what driving licenses do you need to drive these trucks? Am i going to have to sit my HGV exam or is it like buses and you can drive them for personal use if over 30 years old? Thanks Seb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gareth dawe Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 If pre 60 it's car licence I think.....or 7.5 ton if you have that on your licence. Depends on truck age and weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that vehicle was manufactured prior to 1960 and used unladen and with or without an unladen trailer and not in conjunction with a trade or business then it can be driven on a CATB licence If the vehicle is post 1960 then regardless you must have a minimum of a CATC licence (maybe C+E if you intend to tow a trailer GMC falls into the first category, REO probably in second category Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gareth dawe Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Just saw your age so you won't have 7.5 ton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Degsy Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Although most Reo's should really be in the second category almost all seem to have been incorrectly (fraudulently?) registered as pre 1960. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
