Just get on to any or all the agencies you can and be willing to take any job on offer.
Usually they will give you class 2 work even though you have a class 1 licence but you will still get Class1 pay so who cares?
Just get the months under your belt and time will soon pass and you can then apply as experienced driver.

I HATE to put a downer on things but this IS a bad time to come into this industry In My Opinion.

Have a trawl through some of the recent posts on this issue and you will see why I say this.

The upside is that you are young (26 - deducing from your username ■■) so there WILL be plenty of opportunities for you in the future :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:
It may just be a case of waiting out this downturn…
