all i ever wanted to do was to drive trucks but could’nt see much of a career in it. so after spending five years at university studying engineering i gratuated 2 years ago and have being in full emplyment since. however the urge never went away and last summer i decided to bite the bullet and start lgv training. 5 lessons later and i passed first time. while delighted, all i wanted was my artic licence so i booked straight away. 6 lessons later and passed just before christmas. best christmas present ever! so i thought it was a case of waiting 2 years untill i was over 25, had 2 years ‘experiance’ under my belt and recession was over before i even considered getting a job. get a call from local pig farmer this evening though. fancy collecting a load barley for me saturday? could’nt believe my luck. going to be ■■■■■■■ myself. dont think im going to sleep well untill then! ill keep ye updated
Wow, fantastic news. best of luck for it.
Just take your time and you will be ok. Anything you are unsure of, just ask.
One thing to remember is that a fully freighted wagon handles very differently to an unladen training rig (I know, I nearly stalled the first time I drove a freighted artic )
