Passing hgv test

Leyland Mastiff tractor with two axle flat trailer, passed in 76 with Export and General’s training school.

Then walked into my first job, they sent me out with a 16 ton rigid for a couple of days, then gave me a Mickey Mouse Foden and…Strewth how the hell do you change gear in this thing… :laughing:

Luckily i’d done 4 years prior driving vans and 7.5 tonners with loads of drops round London, that helped no end, i could concentrate on piloting the thing.

Happy days, if i had me time again i wouldn’t go near a bloody truck…:wink:
