Remembering to take the number plate off the trailer 
Could start a whole new topic on that subject.
Forgetting to put it on.
Crawling under the overhang of a trailer dripping with freezing cold salt water because you’ve forgot to take it off before putting it on the dock only to find you forgot to put it on to start with.
Forgetting to take one off then using the spare then forgetting to take that off too.Then nicking the spare out of another unit so at least there’s a plate on it then forgetting to take that off.
Two seperate drivers nicking both plates from yours leaving you with no plate to put on at all.
etc etc.

You are mixing up different scenarios, and getting in a muddle (again). At the risk of starting you off on one, how can two separate drivers nick both (!) Number plates from your trailer?
And what’s with the salt water?

No two seperate drivers nick both plates ( you do/should have a spare ) from the unit because they’ve both lost both of their’s. Based on the same logic that it’s better to have any plate on it from the same depot than no plate. 
As for freezing cold salt water dripping down your neck.You’ve obviously never had to ( thought you had to ) get underneath the back of the trailer to retrieve a plate left on it after you’ve just dropped it on the dock at the end of a snowy winter run up the M1.
Salt water■■? You are supposed to put the trailer ON a dock CF, not IN the docks.
Hey el_presidente
I don’t recognise the rigid you’re driving in that photo? What is it, an Iveco?
And if you ever drive a rigid again you have to tell everyone you come into contact with that you’re a class 1 driver and have been lumbered with this ■■■■ for the week

I’ll be honest, I was saying that when I only had the rigid licence.

No, a Sharon. 
I should’ve known from the large mudflaps at the back. If you were a trailer, you’d be a “weightlifter”
Since most class 1 jobs pay the same as class 2 I wouldn’t call it a step up, just creating more job opportunities for yourself. As for tips just take your time and take it wide on corners.

Slap her arse and ride the waves…
I’d say stepping up is probably the hardest bit to be fair. It’d certainly be more effort to climb the extra few steps over and above my current Bedford Rascal…
