Newly passed class 1 and 2 here in Manchester every agency I talk to want me to go with them but I have a class 2 offer for full time which would give me around 350-375 a week take home for regular hours 8-5 or a class one with Max 2 nights a week for a big company earning over 500 a week take home any advice ie go with agency or take one of the full time jobs would be great thanks
From them figures taking away your night out money which I assume is included you actual wage per week on class one would be £450ish,if you can get £375 for class 2 work and sleep in your own bed every night is take that over class one for what extra it is.
Yeah good point the 500 is what goes in my bank doesn’t include what I get in my hand and the 2 nights mean I get to finish early the day after which means I can pick my kids up from school and spend more time with them it’s a good position to be in after years of earning peanuts every month hopefully I can make being a hgv driver work
ALWAYS choose full-time over agency.
Cheers that was a big one for me both the full time jobs have positives and negatives but agency’s make me feel worried I’m gonna do the class one because they have offered to stick with me train me to be a proper driver and its hard to find that when your a newbie
Correct decision in my view mate. No good driving class2 and staring up at a driving God (like me), wishing you were there.
Besides, class 2 drivers get battered if they take up a space at the services. They are for pro drivers only.
Haha staring up at a God I’m gonna use that

Beaver has spoken, full time feels so much better than waiting for the phone to ring every day been there done that not nice .
