Bear in mind that as from Sep 2014, you will also need to have a Driver CPC, as well as your HGV, to drive for hire or reward. Most schools are now doing courses for this, or agencies also have training modules in place. Added expense of course, 5 modules at a cost of around £75 each.
The salaries quoted seem to be about right for your area, but the bulk of "blue chip" companies use an awful lot of agency drivers to save money. If you are in a safe full-time job, think carefully before you leave it. You may be forced to rely on agency work.
