How to get experience?

Just feel class 1 was a wasted qualification if no firm is prepared to give me a chance. Still im not one to be defeated .

I know how depressing the current situation is,but every time you see an artic on the road you are seeing someone who got past the 2 year rule.It can be done just keep on plugging away at it.When I left school 40 odd years ago I would not have believed that it would be difficult or desirable to hold down a lorry driving job.
