Newbie - Containers

ContainerBoy:
OK thanks Dave. I think I was just looking at whether it was an option to avoid a whole week in a classroom and do it piecemeal.

Hi ContainerBoy,

Core, Packages and seven Classes (by far your best bet) only needs 3.5 days.

Doing it piecemeal would cost you very dearly once everything is taken into account.

If I were in your shoes, I’d leave out the tanks module because it’s very unlikely that (given your newness) anybody will give you tanker (or tank container) work. It’s not impossible, just very unlikely.

Tanker (or tank-container) firms usually like to see some LGV experience before letting you loose with a load that ‘slops’ around.
Not many tank-containers have baffles (to break the load compartment into smaller sections) which aids stability by controlling ‘slop.’

I don’t mean to put you on a downer, but you’re possibly looking a bit too far ahead at this stage of your training because there’s no point in spending money that you may not recoup.

Rome wasn’t built in a day. :wink:
