CHECK!!!
Had my assessment drive on Monday…yep, scared pooless less as I climbed into the cab! Never driven anything bigger than the odd Transit Luton before.
It was such a buzz though and definitely confirmed that this is what I want to do for a career from now on.
I used WTTL in Devizes, very impressed with their proffesionalism & my assessor was superb (thanks Dave!)
I had a DAF LF with four-over-four gearbox, it wasn’t too bad, thought I’d make a bigger hash of it than I did
The toughest part for me was trying to be controlled on the footbrake. It seemed to be more of a switch! I’d try to ease the brake on gently as I approched a junction, etc. but nothing would seem to happen, then when almost on top of the juction I’d have to stand on it
Still, didn’t kill anybody & only scuffed one kerb, so I guess that’s a result
Theory & HPT on Tuesday then time to book training
