My name is Andy , im from Essex passed my class 2 in november and my first job on Tippers (only started this week). I also have my ADR (2-6 & 8,9). Was very nervous about it tbh as you feel your getting in everyones way as a newbie (taking a bit more time to manoeuvre on sites etc) but not starting to settle in.
Hi Andy, welcome.
Don’t let others pressure you into making the wrong decisions, take your time, you will pick it up over a few weeks.
It’s a lot cheaper to take a bit longer than to tip her up on uneven ground because you are in a hurry & send her in her side.
If someone’s being too pushy, either tell them to ‘F’ off or let them go in front. Most people will see that you are new & will be a bit patient, just let the Hero’s get on with it.

Absolutely never let anyone pressure you into rushing things , thats when it all goes wrong and gets expensive , you will get there in the end and look like an ol pro in no time ,
make light of it , ive been known to get out of cab and take a bow when totally cocking up a reverse and taking a few to many shunts
