Day-to-day operating brief

What LGV Driver work looks like in practice

An LGV Driver operates goods vehicles within the exact licence category and work assigned by the employer. Because the title can cover different vehicle sizes and operations, the contract should state rigid or articulated work, trailers, depots, hours rules, tachograph use, load security, collections, nights out and customer procedures. The employee should never be allocated equipment beyond entitlement or competence. Because LGV is a broad description, the employment record should match the actual licence category, trailer coupling duties and operating environment. The driver may move between trunking, local delivery and depot shunting only where competence and hours planning support it. Employers should set expectations for daily records, fuel or charge cards, security stops and vehicle swaps. A handover must identify defects, load status and tachograph matters so the next driver does not inherit an unexplained compliance risk. Vehicle swaps during a duty should include a fresh condition check and correct tachograph or manual entry, rather than transferring assumptions from the previous cab and load.

Drive and take breaks compliantly.
