It was about 18 months ago that I decided that truck driving was going to be the best career for me to pursue and so the saving began, thought it was going to be easy to save the money but how wrong was I? Very wrong, if there was something that could get in the way of me saving for my class 2 then it got in the way.
But after 18 months of pushing through bad times, I am now happy to say that my first goal has been achieved and as of yesterday lunchtime I had another category added to my licence. to say I was happy was a complete understatement.
A huge thanks to Andy, John & Jackie at Flair LGV Training
Now if the DVLA wouldn’t mind hurrying up with my tachocard, licence & CPC card, it would be greatly appreciated.
Yeah not having the cash is what’s stopping me do C+E but hopefully having my C licence will help me earn some better money then its Artics all the way haha
Congratulations!! I’m all booked up with Flair training for my cat C next month. Being from the same town as me have you made any enquiries so far as to what work is available?

So what’s the plan now then?
going to try find a driving job once ive got my licence and tachocard back, need 2 get out of my current job
I’d say try to avoid agency stuff if you can, but there is never a shortage of agency work around Witham/Chelmsford areas…if it comes to it.
Well luckily i know a few drivers who have said they will try and put a good word in for me. And if it does come to agency work then ive got a friend who is a job agent so i shouldnt get shafted haha
When I go to driving for a living I am gonna do all I can to avoid agency work. Worked through an agency once and said I’d never do it again if I could avoid it.
