Hi,

the licence you need would depend on the type of box and when you passed your driving test (because the rules changed slightly on what you can do in some cases)

I would guess boxes roughly split into 3 types ?

towed boxes

7.5T & under

HGV

People who passed when I did (and probably for a few years after) would be able to tow upto a certain weight and drive 7.5T on a car lience.but if you are recently passed you may not be able to tow or drive 7.5T, in either case you’d need to take HGV licence to drive a class 1-3 lorry type box.  Cheapest way to do this is to get agy work as a HGV driver and some companies will pay for your training.

if you were driving for “hire or reward” you’d probably need particular insurance to cover that (plus MOT / Service etc …
