I’ve just finished my first ever week driving for a nationwide company. Came in with no previous experience after leaving an office job. I’ve worked. 13.5 15 14 11.5hrs and that’s day shifts. If your up north close to the M6 your days will be long if heading south that’s what I learned.
Regarding training look at a large company who offer training schemes as they will take you on most likely after you pass. Stobarts do I’m lead to believe.
If you go into the industry with your eyes wide open and know what your getting into then you should be ok. If your missus doesn’t like you being out all day and night then this career isn’t for you.
