Does anyone know what vans Tescos use for their home delivery service? Might have the chance to get a transfer over to them in a couple of months, but not sure if I'll need a different licence to drive them. Does anyone know? 99% sure I've just got category 'B' on it. Passed in 2007 if that makes a difference at all.

Is that too heavy to drive with a cat B licence? For some reason I've got 2.5 tonne in my mind.

Right, hopefully I can help!

I just got a job at ASDA, home shopping driver. I'm 18 lol.

It's a Mercedes - Sprinter? 2.5 litre diesel at 3.5 tonne.

I passed my test a year ago, and I'm allowed to drive it.. :S

I have seen a number of Tesco vans completely identical to ours, Mercedes, slider and doors on left hand side ect. Followed by a freindly 'Bus driver' wave of course haha.

I have also seen a handful of Tesco vans to be IVECO, look pretty similar but yeah, mainly the Mercs identical to Asda's.

On my licence I have B, B1, f,k,p

Hope this helps! Thumbs Up

Brilliant, thanks! Just checked and I have the same cats! Was worried that I wouldn't be able to due to my age, but if you can do it at 18, dont think it will be a problem at 22!

Done a bit of digging...seems its a Mercedes Sprinter 311 Cdi Lwb Insulated Van, so looking good so far! Just need them to get planning permission to build the stuff they need!
