Should I go for class 1

animal:
There are not loads of jobs just all the agency posting for the same job

Have you tried Stillers in Newton Aycliff maybe a bit far but they do have most vehicles unto class 1 ( some are night trunks which are easy ) they also have vans take on new drivers as well

Thanks for advice, its good to here the truth about agency’s (coz I was actually starting to believe they are desperate for drivers).

ADR network also advertise for drivers in Newton Aycliff (the thought of doing a eighty mile round commute on top of a fifteen hour shift with gruelling handball sounds beautiful ).

IronEddie:
Have you got any of the food service companies nearby? Brakes, bidfood, blakemores all consider new passes.

I’m not sure it’s worth the cost of getting your class 1. You’ll still have the lack of experience and the pay isn’t significantly more than class 2.

I don’t think theres a Brakes near me, but there may be a bidfood or blakemores I shall look into it. I actually sore a class 1 job advertised recently near me for £8.50 an hour.

If there is a shortage of drivers I doubt theres one up hear in the north east.

There is a Blackmoor /bidfood (3663 bidets or what they are this week ) on Teeside Park

£8.50 for Teeside is on the low side of things but not far off for here
