I have a driving license for car. I want a job for van driver. Do I need an specific driver license necessary to drive a van?

I would like start to work van or truck driver. I have a different question for this sector. What is the maximum permitted driving hours? The Company respects this timetable?

• Being punctual.
• Having excellent driving skills.
• Being reliable and trustworthy.

• Having knowledge about routes and geography.
• Being able to work under pressure.
• Having awareness of safety procedures for goods´ loading and unloading processes.
• Being able to meet deadlines.

Van Driver job placements just require a driving licence, including good driving record and skills in Math and English. In cases of larger vehicles, it is required to have a C1 licence and pass medical examinations. This type of licence is for large goods vehicles between 3.5 and 7.5 tonnes.

Special cases like drivers for cash and valuables transport need an SIA licence. This also requires the completion of the National Open College Network level 2 award in cash and valuables in transit.
