First Day of training

Had my first day of Cat C training today and having driven buses & coaches for the last 6 years was dealing ok with everything apart from the 8 speed slapover box which every now again bit me in the arse heres hoping I get my head round it tomorrow :unamused:

Not an Iveco is it mate??

An auto would of been easier granted but prefer to know how to handle a manual saves looking a â– â– â–  on your first day if its not an auto truck

You will soon get it pal,dont worry.I personally find a split switch easier but have driven slapovers as well.

Don’t worry about looking a ■■■ either,ive spent years being a ■■■.
