Is it worth upgrading to class 1?

It’s seeming the majority are favouring class 1 as it’s less back breaking work but generally it’s seeming the pay for class 2 work is reflecting that hard work.
The company I’ve been working for recently, they brought there class 2 drivers up to nearly the same pay as class 1 as they realised there was more work involved doing 12 drops an 5 or so collections. Than 4 drops with more pallets per drop on the class 1 side.

Once I get the money behind me to get booked up on a class 1 course. I think I’ll go for it. Never know till you’ve tried it.

Quite possibly always have work available to. Struggle to find class 1 work can always still use the class 2 till a position becomes available. Best of both worlds.

One thing I’ve realised with working life. ( Although I’m not as old as some on here)

Is give yourself options

I echo the giving yourself options route. I’m a new Class 2 pass awaiting my cards back but I think if I take to it I’ll aim for Class 1 rating within a year or so to give me options. I want to go tramping I think and that might be more likely with Class 1 possibly.
