Hi and welcome

Roadtrain are good. Don’t know Dartford. Try John at Flair Training, Chelmsford. He’s the 2nd best trainer on here (I’m the best!!!) and has a very good reputation and pass rate.

His vehicle is a slapover. It has to be said that none of them are difficult if taught correctly and properly maintained.

Good luck, Pete :laughing: :laughing:

I had a slap over MAN 4/4 with crawler best box I’ve used totally effortless then again others hate them. I now have a scanny with a 4/4 switch which is fine because I learnt with the same box but still prefer the slap over. After a while it doesn’t really matter what your using I don’t even take notice of gear changes it just comes without much thought its all about practise. The best advise I could give would be not to worry to much yet about what you’ll be training in but with whom you’ll be training with.
Visit the company in person see how you get on with your instructor do some digging on there reputation and most offer free assessment drives, do not think your being clever saving yourself £50 through a broker and there are many. The most important advise is to enjoy it, relax and make the most of what your paying for. I don’t care how cool I’m supposed to be I still have a little smirk when I get in mine in the morning there are so many worse jobs out there just enjoy it. Best of luck!.

John,

I’ve fixed that for you, then I tidied the rest into one post. :smiley:

I’ve done worse than make a double post when using a phone to write a post :wink: :blush:

K W & Daughter in Latchingdon have a good reputation.

I’ve met Keith and he seems like a decent guy. Never heard anything bad about his training either
