Thanks for the advice guys.
I’ve been a self-employed tradesman for the past 7 years so I’m used to knowing my job well and not having to ask for help. I think that’s probably got as much to do with anything as being inexperienced with the vehicles. I totally recognise that I’ll have to change that attitude quickly though.
I’m looking at trunking jobs on the basis that I’ll be able to concentrate on driving the lorry while not having to think about unknown drops constantly. I figure that might be a sensible way to build my driving skills up.
Just got to find someone who is happy to take on a completely green rookie
