Category CE - Training Diary

Hey All :smiley:

I’m pleased to bring news that I start my Class 1 training this coming Monday which is the 16th. My training will be with Jim Mair Driver Training and I’ll be driving a late 2001 Volvo FM12 and has an 8 speed splitter gearbox.

Will keep you updated. :slight_smile:

Best of luck Sam.

Well if you do see the lorry garaunteed you’ll see me first and notice me as I’ll probably be the smallest and thinnest of everyone there lol :laughing: Will tell him you said Hello!

I’ll be in white/green 12T with a big sad face because I’m still driving that pish after doing my CE lol

Volvo FM12 and has an 8 speed splitter gearbox.

Please don’t think I’m being picky, but it will be a range change box - not a splitter. Important for newbies to understand the difference. Ironically many experienced drivers refer to them incorrectly as well.

Ref the length of the trailer - the whole outfit only has to make 14.5 metre for a test. Would be interested to know the overall length of that outfit as it looks very suitable.

Good luck with it, Pete :laughing: :laughing:

Wonder if that’s a new trailer or a temp as the one I used at the end of Jan was all lettered up for the company

It’s the same trailer afaik but it wasn’t stickered then mate.

I see Pete, I was just going by the website but the website says it’s a 14.2m trailer and the total combo is 47ft. I think this is slightly out of date now though. The website doesn’t get much loving but they are a very professional company.
