[QUOTE="Jaylee, post: 2233309, member: 101136"] Hi, Oooooh, OK? I have driven company vehicles. Vans & flatbed/pickups. Personal experience on this, they just checked my licence was valid & relatively clean. (Most employers tend to be OK with 3points.) Lol, I was once called in to the operation manager's office & asked if I considered training for an HGV licence? (On our big trucks.) I did have to respectfully decline reagarding the insulin dependancy & DVLA. He seemed un-phased.. All an employer needs is reliable staff.. The opportunities should follow. I've personally never mentioned it at an interview. But there is also the discrimination act. It's an interview, you sell yourself as a prospective employee. The company is doing the same in return. Edited to add; it would be wise to mention it on any induction paperwork & associated contact next of kin style details, if asked.. [/QUOTE]
