To all you experienced drivers on here I am looking for your advice
I will be starting my job driving class 1 lorry on casual basis for a firm in N.Ireland but only passed my test few months back and they are giving me a chance to learn and gain experience.
I have seen some great advice on here and I will always be up front with other drivers when asking questions or looking for help when out and about. (Hope they are nice back 
)
To help me on my first day can suggest a kit list I will require to make sure I have everything for my 7am to 7pm shift?
I will be asking enough questions as it is so a heads up for this would be great.
Any other tips for my first day would be great too
Thanks

and all from a guy named ROG who has never gone more than six miles outside Leicester and has difficulties working out how a dipstick works
I think the list is collaboration of various different peoples post put together by ROG. I could be wrong though, that’s happened before.
I don’t think it makes too much odds where the blokes been, it seems like a sensible list, I cant fault too much with it and I’ve added a few bits to my kit from it.
