Hey, some of you know that I passed my class 2 a few weeks ago. Well this week I have been doing my class 1 training and had my test on Friday which I’m glad to say, I passed!
I have been working for a local firm on Saturday mornings since March this year, just helping out in the workshop and doing a bit of shunting. The firm has paid for both my class 2/1 training and test which I will be paying back each week. Me being stupid, completely forgot to send off for my digi card until Thursday so can only drive a lorry with tacho disc…this issue I was lead to believe that the firm no longer owned any lorries that weren’t digi tacho. So would have to wait until I get me card back until I can go on the road.
I went into work yesterday morning to he told the boss has found me a truck for me to drive, I was excited…I was then told that it was the bosses truck that I’ll be driving!!! It’s the only one of the fleet in a different colour and is a Daf CF 85/430.
Tomorrow I have been told I’m taking another drivers trailer to Ipswich somewhere to be loaded, I will have the driver in the cab with me to help me out and tell me where I’m going and then once loaded head back to the yard for the driver to then take the trailer onto where ever it is it’s going.
I don’t know if I’m excited or nervous lol as it’s my first day driving with a driver I haven’t met and going somewhere I haven’t been before in a lorry that only the boss and one other driver has driven since the firm bought it.
Wish me luck
