Hi guys, started a job last week with the agency. Basically ive been “training all week” which consists of sitting in the passenger seat with a driver and hauling between 13 and 16 pallets of drink through shops to there stock room.Back breaking work,not even had a drive of the motor which for a class 2 driver seems rather large,26 tonner. Most of the drops are in london so parking is a nightmare,the driver got 2 tickets last week. Not much fun really and i think im out on my own next week.London is not the best place to start for a new class 2 driver especially when i dont know london at all. Ill keep you posted but im really not looking forward to it…
you’ll be fine mate. just take it steady and don’t rush for no one.
saying that, good luck i hate driving in inner london in a car never mind a wagon!!
Good luck chenn_uk and I hope everything goes ok for you next week.
When i passed class 2 in London i started off at the best place. Royal Mail though Manpower, was so easy. If you get tired of multi drop then give em a call. There St Albans branch gave me a job same night i registerd before even my licence came back from DVLA and started off at £13 an hour night rate
Good luck, like bigjoe said just take your time and don’t put yourself under pressure.
good luck chenn you will soon get used to a 26tonner just watch the overhang when turning, as all have said dont rush and you will be fine, personally i prefer london to brum anyday
Best wishes Chenn - Like everyone said, take it easy, try not to get flustered and just keep checking yourself.
