“Morning Fellas”
I came out the Forces over a year ago and at the time Invested all my resettlement in Road haulage despite at the time losing both parents within that year and coming out of a career Id done for twenty four years, I managed to pass everything. All said I really struggled holding a job down, I cant blame the companies, just myself. Found the jobs really difficult, even sank my HIAB truck on a verge at one point and the dust carts was ridiculous, reversing 90% of the time all service roads, worrying about low bridges because your not sure if a satnav is telling the truth, lol. Not finding your drop offs because they are new build housing estates, so they aren’t on any maps?
What I’m trying to decide is whether to go for my Class 1? There is a lot of aspects that still appeal to me about Haulage, working on your own, time away from family and the money is pretty good. I see a lot of Trunking Jobs advertised for Class 1 and presuming its long haul driving up and down the country, which negates the whole driving Trucks around residential areas that aren’t built to support the size of Class 2 Trucks
Thanks for reading.
