Hi all just posting to share my limited experience
I started as a class 2 driver 1st September applied for job and got a start with no experience (and they waited as I had to give 4 weeks notice in my old job) anyway have been driving 7.5 18 & 26 flat and curtains, autos and manuals, delivering stainless and alloy.
Has been a steep learning curve but still smile to myself when all drops have been done and am going back to the yard. Am earning £20,000 rising to £20,600 after 12 weeks, 40.5 hrs a week and time and a half after 4.30 Mon to Thurs and 2.30 on Fri. I think I have pretty much landed on my feet with this job and am very likely to stick at it as I don’t fancy the likes of Brakes etc.
Hope this gives some encouragement to other newbies as there are still some good jobs out there
Well done
Sounds like a really good job ! congrates, do you ever have to stop out at night time ?
Glad you like it 
I made the jump in to general haulage 3 weeks ago from food delivery and I’m not going back to the stress and over working of day dropping
Yep, looks like you have done well pal!
Not the same sort of money you might get in other jobs, but there’s a reason why they offer more! 
Best of luck mate!
Thanks chaps.
No nights out, have had a few long days though. Planners are a bit optimistic with the runs sometimes but we are allowed to swap it about if need be. Worst day so far was being in Horsham at 2:00 Friday afternoon and had to run back to Bristol the day the artic went over on the M4. Like I said though time and a half after 2:30 so was happy to run back at 50 [emoji6]
Well done mate, glad to see someone’s given you a start. Moneys not great but hours seem good and can only improve, its all about experience!
