Quite happy as i only passed my class 1 last friday.

Good lad just keep calm and take it easy! You’ll be grand.

Nice one bean.

If you don’t mind me asking, what agency are you using?

Hey Bean, wish ya all the best with ya new job, i like your dead pan way of saying how it is :astonished: Go for it Geeez, as far as i know, W&D is a bit more difficult reversing, but easier out on the road, as in, it basically follows the truck, :sunglasses:

Best of luck mate. And well done.

WnD is easy to reverse if you make small adjustments to steering and make sure you catch the trailer up before it gets out of shape. Coupling is a bit different though. Make sure the pin is locked in. Some are sprung loaded handles and can be a pain if you aren’t quite level.

As said, take your time. The TM or planner might be trying to rush you but if you rush it with a loaded vehicle you are likely to come unstuck.

Let us know how it goes.

Go for it mate, I’m on my tacho break right now. This is my 5th gig now. Absolutely loving it.
I got there early the first time , and took my time. I asked for help every time I needed it, I never assumed anything. ALL the people I’ve asked have always been obliging and helpful. Good luck. Its great when you’re on your own at last in the cab.
