starting my first hgv driving job on wednesday after a few weeks of knockbacks because i had no experience just looking for some advice on what to expect anybody drive for jbt can tell me what to expect would be much appreciated.
Take it slow, no rush.
Always ask if your not sure, 99% of drivers will help you, if they dont, give there reg and post a photot
If you have to reverses on a bay, take your time ignore everyone else watching you as they had to do it at one point, if you do struggle get out and ask one of the driver either side of you to watch you back, I will guarantee they will be happy to help. Good luck mate.
Good luck fella as above never be shy to ask most drivers are pleased to help if there not there ■■■■■
good luck! above all, DON’T PANIC! take your time and think ahead. if you don’t know, ask… if you’re not sure, ask again!
Definitely ask… better to do that than make a mistake. If you’re not sure of going down a dodgy small lane, if possible stop and make sure first. Don’t worry if you’ve got traffic behind you it’s tough s*** for them!
If I’ve ever needed help I’ve always asked and 99.9% of the time fellow truckers are mote than happy to help. And take your time and don’t panic…when I first started I found getting lost very stressful, but give it a couple of weeks and you soon chill out and it becomes a lot easier
Good luck and enjoy!
You should pm steve-o- he is ex MRS bathgate which is essentially now JBT.
Might not get a glowing report off him but a job is a job.
They do all manner of work from tyres to cookers, from whisky to crisps
The office staff all seem like ■■■■■ but nothing new there, never really dealt with the mrs warehouse staff but the jbt warehouse staff are okish gary is a ■■■■ but dale is brand new.
Im in there almost every afternoon between 1pm to 3pm look out for a handsome fella sitting on bay 9 or 10

How are you getting on in your new job? Which depot are you working out of etc…
good luck fella n like everyone says if unsure get out n have a look etc hope all goes well
Ive just started back after twenty years off and just told everyone for the first few days. 99% of people will fall over themselves to help. As has been said already take your time and ask when unsure, people undersatnd… Good luck you,ll be fine
the only ppl who wont understand are mainly car drivers that never seem to see the rd any further than there own nose
Nice you got a start, but soon as you can move on. Jbt, low of the low but youl find out soon enough. Crap pay, fixed salary for long hrs, ex mrs desperados rushing about like loonys.
