What Can I Expect
Gather the clan together and go truck driving with these junior and family experiences from Everyman! With anytime and weekday vouchers that are valid for your pick of venue from several around the UK, this is a great way to get trucking!
For the little ones, no driving licence is needed. As long as they're at least 5 ft tall and 10 years or older, they can drive the HGV. Anyone over 17 years of age will need to have a valid driving licence to take part.
Everyman operates a fleet of trucks, with a Scania most often used on these driving experience sessions. It's a 60 ft, 38 tonne P420 series, boasting a 13l, six cylinder engine with a whopping 420 bhp and oodles of torque.
Put simply, these trucks are cool. Standing next to the cab is the moment you realise just how big they really are. Kids and adults alike love a truck and climbing into the cab is just the start of the fun.
Each of you will be behind the wheel for 20 minutes, with 15 minutes of actual drive time, with time slots for two people at a time.
Out on the dedicated auto test track, you'll put your trucker skills to the test, with some slaloming and precision driving. You might even have a go at reversing, which is a tricky manoeuvre for any truck driver to conquer!
With a choice of Everyman venues and a proper truck like the Scania P420 to drive, these junior and family truck driving experiences are a winner for all ages!
