I’m definitely glad I’ve got a week of training even if it is just going over the drivers hours, tacho etc, just to get it reinforced in my head. Hoping it will be an auto but I’m sure I will soon get used to a manual box. I will have to check the thread on manual gearboxes. I hope you will keep this post updated on how you get on.
Working 11 hour shifts is a shock to the system! And doesn’t leave a lot of time for the forum!
Done 2 days, now got 2 days off to recover [emoji57]
The hardest thing is still the gearbox, so still looking forward to the big trucks if they are all auto?
On the job training is certainly good for the tacho and WTD hours learning. Eg just learnt that after your first 15 min break you have a whole other 6 hrs before you need another WTD break ! The govt is so generous letting us work so long!
