Hi all im new here (Great site By the way)
Had my class 2 for 8 yrs now and stepping over to c + e in a couple of weeks
Just wondered if any of you experienced guys could pass on some advice for me to sponge up
And of course i will keep you updated

Best of luck. Hopefully 8 years has not given you too many bad habits.
Who are you training with? Wagon n Drag or Artic?
Usual advice really. Visit local trainers. Donโt book through a broker.
When on the course, listen to your trainer. They have been doing it a lot longer. Take it steady. Itโs not a race. You should show that you can competently control 44t.
And above allโฆ Enjoy the experience. ![:slight_smile: :slight_smile:](https://emoji.discourse-cdn.com/twitter/slight_smile.png?v=12)
Hi cheers for the reply, Been for an assess drive with TRUK in bolton, never reversed a trailer in my life
but got the hang of it after 30 mins (for the test reverse that is) the real learning starts when i pass im sure. Enjoyed every minute of it and was told a 12 hour course would suit me fine.
They seem a good bunch up there but i cant find any reviews ect if you wouldnt mind pointing me in the right direction for a bit of research before i part with my money. ![:laughing: :laughing:](https://emoji.discourse-cdn.com/twitter/laughing.png?v=12)
Sorry forgot to say artic is what im training for

As Iโm on my mobile itโs a bit hard to find appropriate links.
However Iโm sure someone will soon
Try putting TRUK in search box at top right of the forum page. I vaguely remember someone about 6 months ago training with them. I did a few runs up that way and have seen their training trucks around. They look ok. But looks arenโt everything.
Oh and I had never reversed a trailer before taking my CE course and test. Hopefully it will come together for you.
And yes itโs a very good point you make. You only learn how to do an S reverse to test standard which is not the same as real life reversing ![:wink: :wink:](https://emoji.discourse-cdn.com/twitter/wink.png?v=12)
