I’m in the same boat pal. New pass and been offered 7.5ton work.

I guess its experience of the transport industry and doing drops, using a taco etc in a bigger vehicle even if not a class 2 or 1.

albion:
As a now ex boss, I’d say it counts as a plus. Its experience and if the place that are offering you 7.5 also have class 2, then like as not you’ll be moving up.

Franglais:
No hard and fast rules.
I’ve no recent experiences with agencies, and will happily stay that way.
A good van job can be better than a bad artic job. Just keep an open mind, I’d suggest.

thanks everyone. i think ill take the plunge as it is a big company with a good reputation, and they do have class 1, class 2.

Good luck with whatever you decide Benja2802 mate

If they are a decent company, I’d say definitely go for it. We had a van driver that did his class 1 without telling anyone until he passed. He was a good lad, so soon as a vacancy on an artic came up, we moved him into those.

Good luck.
