new driver

hi all,

past class 1 last Friday(still very excited about it all)

was just wondering if there is a way around this 2 yrs exp barrier, I know I have to start off at the bottom, already registered with a few agencies, have been for a while now, any help would be greatly appreciated !!

No barriers when they need a driver now !!


I think I’m in a bit of a hurry, only passed on Friday, just cant wait to start working :slight_smile:, had an interview with an agency yesterday and he was talking about this 2yr exp hurdle, feels like I’m never gonna get into the world of class 1 :frowning:

Especially if doing that early on a Monday morning with all your kit in your boot

where there is a will, there is a way! I landed on my feet bigtime, I have held my licence for 10-12years but never used it. Got in touch with a company, told them my situation and they gave me an assessment and 2 days “training” and I am now doing regular weekend and holiday work, been doing it for 3 weekends now and was in a 14 plate truck last weekend!! And I am on a decent rate of pay!! Not the best by any stretch but paying the debts!! Result!! Get the right company at the right time and experience dunt matter!!!
