One or two of you may know I’ve been highly undecided whether to do class 1 after being on rigids for the past 7 and a bit years, then a month or so ago, my boss said he his looking to train a few drivers up so I held back to see what would happen. Well, I got a call yesterday to ask if I’m available to start my training on Wednesday with test booked for next Tuesday, so obviously I said I am. I’ll be learning in a Scania artic with opticruise auto box. Part of me is excited as I originally wanted to do both 2 and 1 together, but also ■■■■ nervous!
I’ll let you know the outcome!
Best of luck mate, stay chilled and take your time.
I hope you pass,but you wont be classed as a real driver unless you can twin split 4over4 murder prossies and all the rest of it ,did I mention rope and sheet?

Oh my god, I’ve never roped & sheeted!!
But you’re accomplished at splitter gearboxes and murdering prossies. At least you can concentrate on roping and sheeting.
Good luck.
Take it easy.It will be a mint experience and im sure im not alone when i say that You will prefer artics to rigids anyday!!
More better to drive.With reversing its practice but i found if you take it mega slow it will allow the trailer to go where you want it.
Keep smileing on the days the pressure turns up…It soon eases off come test day
good luck! you’ll be fine
You’ll be fine lover!!! Have fun and good luck

good man coming to join the big boys
I went straight from doing class 2 test to doing my class 1… Have to say I prefered driving the class 1. As you have already got experience on the road in a class 2 I don’t think you will have any problems.
Good luck
Well, I’ve gone and done it, 1 minor. Now to start learning!!
Desperate:

Nice 1, 1 minor too is very good, you should be very proud of yourself.
Well done
Well done that man,I hope that it pays off for you.
Congratulations
Good man!!! Well done!!
Top job, Desperate - almost a clean sheet! Thought i did ok with 4 minors, but that`s a very convincing pass.
As the Sarge said to me back in August - “One more of us, one less of them!”
