Newbie driver just saying hi

Hi folks new guy hear on the forum names James, just a bit of background I passed my class 2 last year with Carl and the team from Stockport lgv, took 2 attempts because nerves got me on the first one. I currently work as a permanent council loader on a bin wagon as even though they encouraged me to do my license soon as I passed they said there were no vacancies and its cheaper to use agency drivers than promote me to driver loader. So I ended up having to register with an agency and drive on Saturday s anything from van, 7.5t and class 2 all multi drop but I especially enjoyed curtain side multi and would love a perm job doing that even if its nights out/ tramping. If anyone’s aware of anything let me know would be very grateful, thanks guys and once again a big hello:-) :smiley:
