Well done on the job like you said just have to keep pushing and trying,are you doing days or nights on the bins?.
Lad at the old place went to biffa on the bins on nights jacked it after 2 weeks got hacked off with taking ages unlocking places and not having the right keys and codes.

Well done. It’s a start. And it’ll certainly get you some practice manoeuvring. Best of luck.

How many interviews did you have? I’m doing a Hgv course this year and wondered how hard it might be to get Work once passed?

Depends where you live,jobs for new passes are out there as the OP has found.

Well done on getting your job. It just shows that there are jobs out there for new passes, I passed my Class C at the end of 2017 after 15 years in the NHS. My 1st came after the Christmas rush in January doing home delivery with a company subbing for IKEA. It was ok but just not for me. Then I got in with a company delivering ice cream and frozen foods to convenience stores all over Scotland. I was taken on as a 7.5t driver but was always out in the sprinter van chasing my arse basically. Now I work out of the Fruit market on a 3am start which is a killer but easy work delivering local and I have been given a 2018 MAN TGL with less than 1000 km on the clock. I have now booked my C&E for next month. Use all time in the seat as experience and you will make mistakes but try to learn from it. Don’t be rushed by anyone and if your not sure get out and look.
Cheers Paul

Congrats on the job going well Paul. Commiserations on the MAN :laughing:

Good luck with the C+E

Cheers Jimmy, It’s alright and helping to pay the bills lol Doing this full time isn’t for me, I will be going to my bed before the kids and it isn’t even dark yet, that’s why I need to get my C&E ASAP
Cheers Paul

It was getting the interviews that was the hard part as soon as most companys are aware your a new pass they close the book, but keep applying as i said and dont give up.
