Hi all,
So after passing my class 2 about 2 years ago i have done afew different bits of driving work, From driving horse boxes to a car transporter and a couple of one off trips Scotland - London, In total i probably only have about 5-6 months experience and its patchy as none of it was everyday steady work.
On Monday i applied to a large sottish transport firms advert for a forklift driver and thought maybe its a way in to getting some class 2 work at some point. I only have 3 years experience driving forklifts and about 6 in distribution. Since getting my class 2 i have applied to this firm a fair amount of times and not once heard a thing back but on Tuesday afternoon i get a call to ask if i was still looking and that they actually have a class 2 position with some forklift at a small depot working with palletways and pallex networks, do i want it?..eh hell yeah i do!
So i went for an hours assessment yesterday morning in a 18 Merc with an independant assessor they employ, (was a bit nervous that i would be rusty, having not really driven for the last 8-9 months and may mess it up) but got back to the yard, a quick(but tight) reverse park between two rigids and he gives me the thumbs up.
Start on Monday
The closest i’ ve done to multi drop is 2 - 8 drops in a sprinter van afew years back which i know does’nt come close so im abit apprehensive about it.
Any productive/helpful tips or advice for class 2 multi dropping with palletways and similar would be a great help.
All new to me so i’m looking forward to this permanent job(at last) so any advice would be Much appreciated
This i suppose is another example to all you newly qualified guys/gals that think it will never happen,DONT give up, If you want it, it will happen for you but only you can make it happen!!!
