Hi all, I’m new here (1st post) and new to logistics (C last month and just got my shiny new C+E licence back in the post yesterday).
I have been contacting everyone and emailing CV’s and getting the usual no experiencee no job that others speak about. I’ve been looking at only C+E jobs and spoke to a young lady this morning at an agency regarding a job driving class 1, when she found out I had no experience she asked me to hold which I did, when she came back she said she can’t help me with C+E because she can only place experienced C+E drivers, however she can put me forward for a job driving C class for Morrison’s. After some online research I have surmised the work is based at the Feltham depot and I will be part of the supply chain for “M Local” convenience stores within London.
I have been a motorcycle and small van courier serving London and the South in the past so not that bothered about driving in the city, although I am sure driving a rigid in the city will be a whole new ball game. I’m thinking of taking the job if it’s offered to me as at least I will be earning what seems good money for driving a rigid and I will be gaining valuble experience all be it in a C not a C+E, and I will be getting my feet through the door with a potential full time employer with a view of moving up to C+E driving with them.
Does this sound like a good approach, or should I just concentrate in getting C+E work and experience?
