Hi everyone been reading this forum for months now as always wanted to be a truck driver since was little girl finally been able to live the dream as passed test yesterday cat c first time after a 40th birthday prezzie from the old man my dad was one of the best being able to turn a truck on a sixpence was the saying in our family, unfortunatly not around any more to see my pass cert but sure he was riding shotgun on that spare seat between me and the examiner so must be in the genes !
Hoping to start getting some casual work but after reading some of these posts looks like it will be an uphill struggle !!! who cares at mo on cloud nine nothing can burst my bubble !!!
. Welcome Jennie .
Jennie:
passed test yesterday cat c first time
Who did you do your training with?
Forum with some useful stuff and Forum for questions on drivers hours
Thanks Rog i see your name all over this forum dont know how old u are but you sound just like my dad nice to be part of one of the best bunch of driver around !!
took my training with J coates in Slough my instructor was Alan Seager and hes was the best patient firm and took my driving well above what examiners wanted which is why passed with only five faults !!!
Made the mistake of giving money to directlgv but managed to get my money back as was on a credit card so could of done this a lot earlier if gone to coates first if anyone had any trouble with these kind of brokers i would be glad to give them some advice on writing letters to credit companies to get money back just not on what these people do to get peoples hard earned cash !!!

40th birthday prezzie
As I am 52 in two weeks then I’m not sure how to take that 
As with most males I have not grown up mentally since the age of three so I suppose the physical age makes no difference…
As i said he sadly not with us anymore and was 59 when he died i miss him and really could of done with his advice and experience when going through my training so theres the similarity his advice was sound hence you sound like my dad so dont panic i think even in this day n age 12 is abit young for fatherhood look forward to exchanging views with you but dont panic i only had one dad and he was the only one for me !!!
Oh by the way thanks for the banner was hoping to get one of those like gettin my nice blue cert for passing !!!

That strikes me as not being able to find a proper school that they could farm out the training to cheap enough to make a good profit out of you as they have no trucks of their own.
Jennie:
did not like to join forum until was proper trucker
It is called the New & WANNABEs forum

One step ahead of you - done that already - thanks

Unfortunately, it takes those potential newbies to read this type of forum in order for them to be informed before they commit to anything.
Many just seem to google the internet for LGV/HGV training and choose the flashy websites which these brokers pay to have at the top of the search lists - all legally done as well unfortunately…
