Class C in the bag

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.

On to class 1 now I think.

I been knocking around here since doing my cat C but haven’t been on in a year or so. Planning to do my C+E…again, when I got the cash to do it.

Sorry mate totally went blank haha

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

Will let you off as its been a while since we have crossed paths mate.

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?

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.

I’m stuck where I am at the minute after Ambulance Service fell through in jan due to a few things I was happy with.

Can’t leave as only I do what I do so no one to take over :confused:

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

Always handy to know people, as with any job :wink:

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.

Yeah ive heard all the horror stories about agencies, so will try and avoid them as much as possible
