About Plant Route UK
I grew up around haulage, HGVs and plant machinery, having been born into a haulage and plant business. Over the years I’ve gained first-hand experience of the industry and the realities of working around heavy machinery.
I created Plant Industry Starter to help people who are thinking about getting into plant work make better decisions before spending money on training and tickets.
The aim is simple: practical, straightforward guidance based on real-world experience — helping you learn, plan, train and work.
Do you know how to make it happen?
If you already know exactly what you need to do, then you probably don’t need this guide.
But if you’re not sure where to start, this guide will help you understand what’s involved in getting into the plant industry.
I was brought up around plant and haulage, so I know how difficult it can be to get that first seat — and how much there is to think about before you get there.
That’s why I put this guide together: to help you work through, step by step, what you need to know, what you need to check, and what you need to do to get moving in the right direction.
