hey every1 sure some of you will remeber me from my c ad c+e posts back in may and june well today i got offered a full time tramping job due to start on 8th oct.
After handing out only about 10cv’s had couple off test drives non of which turned into a job then had a interview last saturday and drive yesterday and got offered the job there and then
so everyone who says its not possible to get a start then there wrong, am 24 with no other driving experience and there more than willing to take me on.
owner of the company said he likes to see that a newly passed driver had paid for the training out of his/her own pocket (which he did ask for proof) so maybe worth on your cv just put into the covering letter that you have paid for it yourself.
I’m 18 and paid for my training myself aswell (only 18) passed c+e beginning of September and I’ve
Had a letter of Eddie stobarts in the Liverpool Widnes depot saying a rep will be in touch to arrange an interview/assessment drive

There are a few threads on here about what is needed for tramping.
With only 2 nights max a week you will not be so reliant on away from home comforts as a full time tramper.
As you say, you don’t mind taking the drop in wage as a first step up the ladder. Just make sure you are treated right. I was the same and very grateful of the chance to prove myself.
thats where got a list of stuf id need off another post lol
its the owner richard pawson that i had the interview with and hes a realy friendly down to earth bloke so seems or8, met couple other drivers who had bit of a dig at me been young but sed if ever needed any help to just ask and they wudent laugh too much if was a daft question lol
Everyone got to start at the bottom wage wise so has to be expected doesent it, just carnt wait for these 2weeks to go fast so i can start
