Searching for that elusive first class 1 job

I have now found a full time class 1 job, and apart from the fact that it is 20 miles away from home. All the other variables were, so far, perfect to me. Shift times, type of work, kit, wage, and so on.
As an update for the new drivers also looking for a class 1 job I would say: persist, insist and never desist.
Thanks for the guys that pointed me to some possibilities. The help was much appreciated!

Nice one mate good luck! Just out of interest did you apply for the job online or In person dropping off cv’s etc?

Online only this time. I did try getting the word of mouth going by telling everyone I know in the industry, I was looking for a Class 1 position, but ultimately one of the hundreds of online applications I sent was picked up.
I also had agencies doing a “dirty one”, telling me that an assessment was booked for Class1 just to find out, after I was already on site, that the company was actually expecting me to be assessed and work on Class 2.
