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. Don’t book through a broker.
When on the course, listen to your trainer. They have been doing it a lot longer. Take it steady. It’s not a race. You should show that you can competently control 44t.
And above all… Enjoy the experience. 
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. 
Sorry forgot to say artic is what im training for
As I’m on my mobile it’s a bit hard to find appropriate links.
However I’m 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 aren’t 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 it’s 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
Hi there,
Is your trainer called billy? An old guy with white hair.
Hi Yes he is the guy i done the assessment drive with, seemed a nice chap
