I was thrown in the deep end on BOTH Cat C and C+E!
Cat C: Was given the keys to a tatty old Scania curtainsider, got loaded up with pallets for twelve drops throughout Stockton, and then sent out without any instructions on how to use the tuck-under tail-lift, and had to figure out on how to use it on my own. Got moaned at by the nightman when I returned late because the pallet of beer I collected was an urgent delivery to Norway and had to be on his trunk that night!
Cat C+E: Was asked to bobtail to Killingholme (again on my own) and then collect a ferry trailer for a 21.00 delivery to Trafford Park that night (this was only last Wednesday).
