This has more than likely been covered before but here goes anyway.
I passed my Class C on the 19th May 2011 , and since then have been actively looking for employment with in this transport industry. I’ve registerd with a number of agencey’s (not quite what I wanted to do as I’ve used them in my past lift within the construction industry). Had both good and bad results with them, but times were good £££££££££££ then. Now things are somewhat different as I’ve been out of work since xmas last year .
Driving trucks has always been an ambition since being quite young, something to do with seeing CONVOY with Kris Kristopherson approx 20 times, not all back to back I must say. Could only manage two at a sitting. So it is with great joy that I took my training with Lancaster Training Services and passed with three minors. It should not come as a supprise that now I am finding things a little difficult to find work in ■■■■■■■■ Lancashire. Too little experience is the answer that most agencey’s are commong back with.
On a brighter note I am waiting to here from a couple of local firms (skip hire, tipper hire, civils, Class 1 etc) as to the possibility of getting a start with them, fingers crossed.
If anyone reads this, I would appreciate any advice/ suggestions for a little green newby looking at getting a foot hold in this industry.
