Gutted to say someone ‘with more experience’ is going to do the job. Which I am really gutted about. I’ve just got back from a 14 hour and 45 minute day so am broken. However I will focus my energies on trying to get a Euro run. This is something I was really looking forward too - and whether good or bad would have been an experience I’d never forget. Onwards and upwards - it will happen at some point. I’ll just be more prepared when it does.The agency have tried to sweeten the deal with a weeks night work… No thanks.
Best thing to happen tbh!
Honestly though, how is anyone gonna learn without doing it? This week is my second time in Glasgow in my life yet I’ve learned things like, don’t park on that green bit outside ‘grill on the corner’ and leave a pallet on the floor so no one blocks your tail lift. Might sound daft but until you’ve done it, how will you know?
Youre right that the best way to learn anything is to do it, agreed there. But someone with little truck experience, even less artic experience and self confessed no Eu experience its gonna be a steep learning curve! Maybe a better experience to get some Eu driving in a smaller vehicle first, or get a few mile under the wheels of an artic first, rather than learn how to drive a fully loaded artic in a strange environment? Not an impossible task, to do it all at once, but not the preferred option I`d say.
When people are “chucked in the deep end” we always hear of the successes, people rarely talk about the failures. The poor drowned souls are not talkative!
