When I was approaching the end of my career with the police I did my HGV licence. That was five years a go and I've never been short of work since. I've been lucky enough to get in with a local firm that give me casual work whenever I want it so I don't have to go through an agency. I tend to work a fair bit over winter then take the summer off to go motorcycling and sailing! Provided you're prepared to work odd, and sometimes long, hours it's a pretty stress free occupation but be warned if you have a young family it will be a serious disruption to that. One tip, go the whole hog and get your class 1 (C+E in new money). Much better job opportunities and pay, definitely worth it in the long run.
