As some of you may know since passing my test a couple of months ago I’ve been doing little bits of agency work, not nearly enough though really. Applied for about 100 class 2 jobs, didn’t even get invited to one interview! Michael Pavis plumbers merchants rang me out of the blue the other day after I’d e-mailed them my CV months ago and I spoke to him on the phone for 10 minutes or so. He said did I want to go down for a chat about it for half an hour. Obviously I jumped at the chance and got straight down there. He said it would cost him extra to put me on the insurance since I’m under 25 but he was willing to give me a chance and could I come back tomorrow to do a little drive assessment!
Got down there this morning, they’ve got about ten or so 13 tonners, iveco and Mercedes. Went out for a little drive round in it with the TM (he has his class 2). Bloody thing was well strange! Was like driving a little van, really odd experience. It was a 57 plate 13t iveco eurocargo. Had the gearstick on the dash and all sorts Gears felt nothing like any truck I’ve ever driven before, everything was really light and quick, not truck like at all really. Was quite a fast little thing as well
Anyway, got back to the office and I was offered the job there and then It’s monday to friday 7 till 4:30, anything from 2 - 15 drops a day.
Well chuffed
