Do i go for Class 1 straight away?

Standard practice years ago was to go straight to class 1 in one test.

No the money might not be appreciably better at first, but finding work will always be easier if you drive anything and once you get experience and find your own niche then the differences increase appreciably, especially if you eventually specialise…and yes that might be a few years away, but if you get the class 1 now you will be that much closer achieving what you want.

Course if you want to drive skips or rigid tippers or a bread lorry for the bakery, and nothing wrong with any of those fine jobs cos we all like different things, then the class 2 is all you need.
