English term or phrase: Heavy Goods Vehicle (driver) / Long Goods Vehicle (driver)
Ich habe schon einmal hier "HGV driver" vs. "LGV driver" gefragt. Ich hatte jetzt endlich Gelegenheit, den Kunden (es handelt sich um eine groessere Webseitenuebersetzung, wo die Berufeliste ein kleiner Teil war) zu fragen, und er hat mir LGV und HGV wie oben angegeben erklaert. Wie kann man jetzt wirklich auf Deutsch 2 verschiedene Berufe daraus machen??
