animal:
How many days have you and when is your test or should I not ask
Hopefully, the test wil be Friday. Roger won’t tell us exactly when they are scheduled as he says it would, “Just add to the pressure”. 
Personally, I think he just wants to add to the suspense!!
LOL
As to ‘Why would an RAF pilot want to be a trucker?’…
I never was in the RAF, I actually got my hands dirty and learned it all on civvie street!!! 
LOL
The Airline I was flying for in the US went ‘belly up’ thanks to Mr. Bush’s 'little ‘ole war’ and the subsequent doubling in the cost of jet fuel almost overnight.
Came home to spend some time with my family as my Bro. was diagnosed with MS and my Mum and Dad are getting on a bit. Thought about converting my Licences to UK from US, but the bureaucracy and money involved is staggering!!
Always liked the look of the ‘big rigs’, started driving a little 'un (7.5 tonner) and got hooked! Thought I would give it a go; so here I is!!
Thanks for all the kind words. Really enjoying the training so far.
Will post about today’s training when I get in tomorrow (assuming I’m not suicidal myself by then!! LOL). Knackered and off to bed now.
Cheers,
Simon
