I got a job..... woohoo!

NEW AND WANNABE DRIVERS (INTERACTIVE)
1

I start next week with a local haulage co, class 2.

I followed Deaks advice trucknetuk.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=11571 & wrote letters to everyone :slight_smile: Thanks mate!

Seems they want me as much for my forks licence as the class 2 cos the guys load their own wagons & they only had 1 fork driver. At least if I load it myself I only got me to blame if it’s wrong :smiley:

Sounds like they don’t load themselves then. This one fork driver amongst them loads them. :wink:

Good luck though. Hope you get on ok.

Glad to hear it worked for you too. It beats looking at some of the ■■■■ advertised in the Sentinel every Wednesday! I used to work for a local haulage firm on class 1 - don’t suppose you want to say who you’re working for? :question:

The sentinal is pants, all agency! The company is Reid Freight, Longton. The jobs a bit of a pain but I don’t mind as it gets my foot in the door… this could all change tho as I got an Interview for mixer driver tomorrow :slight_smile:

Seem’s like you just saved them employing a few warehouseman to load the vehicle’s. :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

Good luck and well done. :wink:

I didn’t find it too much of a problem at all, once I got going.

You might be pleasantly suprised, just don’t rush and I think it all falls into place.

Once I’d had a few days on the road I wondered why I’d found the lessons and test hard work at all.

It’s all change :slight_smile: I went for my interview & was offered the job… more money, less hours & overtime if I want it. Seems they have opted out of the WTD ( I didn’t know they could?? )

I start with Bardon concrete a week on monday. Brand new Fodens, dunno what they are like?

I think they are allowed to opt out as concrete is classed as a perisible load.

Not 100% cert though
