<p>[QUOTE=&quot;00Gambit, post: 9935332, member: 292984&quot;]Why on earth would you ever subject yourself to driving on British roads when you&#039;re a US trucker I&#039;ll never fathom that. If you drove in the UK then you surely know how narrow and tight the roads are, with cars parked on either side and squeezing through gaps with your ####### puckered hoping you don&#039;t clip someone&#039;s wing mirror.</p><p><br /></p><p>The cabs in the UK are also significantly smaller, you have a bunk right behind the seat and that&#039;s it, no leg room around the bunk. A lot of US highways may be boring but I assure you UK highways are just as boring and depressing with bushes either side blocking your view and with the added stress factor of being very narrow and clogged with traffic because our country is so tiny... Oh and did I mention roundabouts every 5 minutes? Doing a roundabout in a car is one thing, doing it in a 50ft truck is another.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you honestly want to be stressed out when you&#039;re driving then by all means come to the UK, I myself however am taking the opposite direction and want to move from the UK to Canada as a trucker. I&#039;ll take &quot;boring&quot; wide open plains, mountains, forests, lakes and huge sleepers over narrow depressing clogged roads with tiny sleepers any day of the week.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for your actual question about CDL -&gt; HGV. You cannot exchange them, you&#039;ll need to get your class 2 and then your class 1. In total for the theory and exams and tests etc it&#039;ll cost you about £3,000 for the class 2 and class 1 courses.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
