I started my journey in January, managed to pass my C a couple of months ago on my second attempt. And last week passed my C+E 1st time 
all thanks to Dave at Peter Smythe also a big thanks to Peter himself for all the help and advice he has given me throughout.
Although i am still employed i have made a couple of calls during the week and been to see a company today who has offered me a job on class 1. :)
General haulage and possibly containers starting the 8th of September.
Just need to write my resignation letter now 
I think the way the industry is at the moment it’s getting easier for newbies to get a job. 
That’s brilliant. Pleased to have been of use. Pete
