how did driving assessment go ? what did they observe on the assessment, just that you was competent and could drive safe I am guessing?
driving assessment went fine ive done 2 1 for recycling and one for dhl on them both i explained i was a complete novice at the job which sometimes they apprreciate you being completely honest and show youre willing to learn theyre just taking you out on a little run with various types of road to make sure you dont drive like a idiot and use all youre mirrors and signals blindspots etc on dhl once i got back to the depot i have to reverse it onto a bay and thy guy explained about the tail lift and other bits on the truck i wasnt sure about i found with dhl the guy was extremely helpful so dont let these driving assessments worry you as theyre not as strict as a driving test its all just to check youre not a coplete muppet with no common sense
good luck on any you get given ill be coming off agency monday and going class1 ramping for a local company fed up with being mucked about by my agency already only been with them a few weks
Best of luck sounds like your driving assessments went well, Who are you going with tramping best of luck with that will that be nights out, or do you not go far from base?
