2 Years

NEW AND WANNABE DRIVERS (INTERACTIVE)
1

2 years ago today, I passed my Class 1 (C+E). Doesn’t time fly :exclamation:

I know that a lot of people come on here looking for advice about getting started, and in particular overcoming the 2 year experience barrier that many face. I know I did and I’m thankful for the advice that I’ve received. So, just to show that it’s not all doom and gloom out there and that opportunities do exist for new drivers, I thought I’d share my experience of the last 2 years, briefly in pictures :arrow_right: :arrow_right: :arrow_right: :arrow_right: .

For all of you out there starting out, good luck and I hope you get the breaks I’ve had. It is tough, but opportunities do exist :slight_smile:

That’s a good question that deserves a thorough answer. I think I’ll save that for a new post when I’ve been in the job a bit longer.
