Same.
In this day and age your full HGV driving licence will set you back around £2,500. But once you’ve got your licences, there are plenty of jobs out there. The majority of which are quite accommodating. If you want the hours, you can have them. As an employed driver you can earn quite decent money. So it’s a good thing to do if you want to earn as much as possible, then take time off to do a particular stage of your flight training.
It got me through my flight training. I do miss my top-end Volvo, parked up in a layby with my TV and a tin of soup. Good times.
