This time today last year was preparing for my cat c test so that magical 1 years holding of licence has arrived , so hopefully am now a bit more employable !!!
I`ve learned a hell of a lot in the last year : truck driving isnt just getting behind the wheel and driving , Ive run out of fuel !! got lost (countless times !) had my first experience of London driving and even driven onto the platform of Euston stn to deliver , lost nearly 3 stone (bonus) from all the handballing exercise !!
But I would not change a thing !¬!!!
All the trying times have kinda faded when I get a good run a beautiful sunny day just me n the radio or the trunking runs up and down the m40 or m11 depending on which one I get ? Ive met loads of brilliant people and believe it or not : not many pains !!! Ive gone to work with a smile on my face and thats priceless to me ,
I`ve had a lot of help , without asking for it , and when I ask no one has ever refused to help or look at me like I shouldnt be doing this job , all in all I wish Id done this years ago!!!
So for all you newbies out there , once you get that break and that first job the rest can fall into place I love doing what im doing even the times when not all goes to plan , Ive learnt that you dont panic just get on with it !!!you will arrive home and think wow I can do that then what was I worrying about !
So what for me now : well in a couple of weeks going to see if I can handle the artic and hopefully in another years time can be writing about a year in an artic but who knows 
So to all those out there good luck and I hope you get your break soon 
but like today gonna be starting a 1600 for a trunk run up to Newmarket when you have done something a few times the confidence soars and you start to enjoy yourself , the nerves are not there to hinder and you feel on top of the world so pleased someone else feels like me about their job startin to think i was a bit mad ! but hey i love to drive so mabe we all are !!
