New Class 1 Holder - Advice for gaining experience

I am in the same situation, 8-5 office job during the week, passed class 1 in January. I registered with a lot of agencies, with all of them I have been honest about my experience. Still I managed to obtain shifts. When going on sites, the same, telling people I am new in the trade, and people were really helpful. I was concerned about other drivers laughing when struggling to park to bays, but it never happened. They came to me and gave me advices how to position myself better, and helped me to do the manoeuvre. When I wasn’t sure about something I was always asking drivers or shunters who were there.

Currently I am doing shop deliveries with Class 1, so a lot of driving in town, and parking in difficult spots. I am taking my time everywhere, and always triple check everything.
