Re garbo’s experience, I wonder if thats the lot who use a lot of ex army instructors as I’ve heard a few stories about them. Think they are still drill sargent rather than teaching a paying recruit.There are some shocking training sites out there. One uses a corner of our yard with no office or facilities and fairly old trucks but their reversing can be messed up if non of the night drivers get back early enough to shift trailers.
No idea what the instructors are like for the above company which isn’t a million miles from Peter, but cant imagine the costs are much lower than others with even toilet facilities.
He claimed that he was an ex-police response driving instructor. I’ve also heard that he had only one eye, was the dad of the brothers who ran the training firm, and got KO’d during a pub brawl a few years ago!
