Although still a newbie (not even a newbie really as have not passed test yet) i’m seeking some advice as to what direction to take when it comes to getting an additional skill alongside driving. As i said on the newbie forum i’m pretty sure i don’t want to do c+e. Looks too much hassle with reversing, tramping and apart from a few specialist jobs like car transporter (which i don’t fancy anyway - looks like a nightmare moving cars on and off) i gather most c+e is going to be delivering to warehouses and supermarkets making it even more of a nightmare unless you like that sort of thing
I know ADR and HIAB can involve multidrop which i don’t really want (at least not the amount of drops that you would be expected to do with, say, with parcel delivery but am assuming there might be jobs with less drops or in the case of HIAB not even drops at all in the sense i mean.
Just really trying to motivate myself by looking ahead as what would suit me most. Had a lot of difficulty over the years holding down a job (feel free to check out my “40+ newbie” thread although i don’t really want to dwell on the negative if i can help it). Having said that i wonder if there are any professional drivers who have been/going through similar things [depression/more so Avoidant Personality Disorder if you don’t fancy reading it ] I need to really like a job (even enjoy it) in order to succeed.
I know different people like different jobs but would be good to get an idea of who hates/likes what and why? Good things and bad things about different sectors (if that’s the right word to use).
Thanks.
