It's unofficial.

NEW AND WANNABE DRIVERS (INTERACTIVE)
1

I’ve been offered a placement on my works warehouse to wheels programme :smiley: :smiley:

Will find out officially on Tuesday, will also find out more details aswell. I may have to wait 6 months though because there are 2 places, the training takes place in blocks of 6 months, whoever goes second has to wait 6 months for the other one to finish their training. I think it takes so long because the newbie has to get up to speed with the experienced drivers otherwise it starts affecting their figures ( :unamused: ).

Still though, chuffed to bits! Don’t quite believe it yet, I think I’ll believe it when I’m sat in a truck :smiley:

That’ll be good. Keep us updated mate.

Fantastic, best of luck to you! Think about everything before you do it, if you aren’t sure just stop. Know you height, plan your route with a bridge height atlas or invest in a hgv sat nav. Zero damage is key.

Yeah just a bit :laughing:

I’ve now got to the stage where I’m panicking that they take it off me and give it to someone else.

I got told “unofficially” at the end of my shift by the shift manager and told not to tell anyone, obviously as no-one is supposed to know until next week when it will get briefed officially. Thing is all the lads in work have been asking me all day if I’d had any news, so when I walk out of the office and round to the clock machine I’m greeted with many beady eyes and many questions, I can’t help but let a little smile out (really couldn’t help it) and most people work it out for themselves. Anybody who has worked in a warehouse knows that rumours spread like wildfire. Think I’ll have to go see him tomorrow and have a chat to him.

brilliant news mate , well hope your the first one to go for it , fingers crossed for tues :smiley:

That would be the icing on the cake it really would :smiley: This weekend is going soooo slow :laughing:

If I have to wait 6 months I might try and do a bit of agency here and there to keep things fresh although I will be badgering work to get me doing something with transport, don’t fancy being stuck in the warehouse for another 6 months :frowning:

Congratulations on the placement :smiley:

13

Thanks all, no it doesn’t mean I’m first up, the TM is on holiday :unamused: so I’ll have to wait until I find out. Should take a couple of weeks for them to get it organised. Details are still a bit scarce but I got my place :smiley: Really looking forward to getting started, whenever that may be :sunglasses:
