new to industry drivers on the larger fleets.Hoyer petrolog?
Hoyer do yes but Not the only ones , most take via an agency with a view to employing direct when permanent positions become available. The PDP is not a show stopper as to get the 25w& 25 P completed you really need to be on the books as the 25P is the practical element and unless your inducted and have a truck to load you have no chance to pass it, that’s why the companies have to bank roll it,.
Hope this helps

I’m hugely new to class1 (friday)but I quite fancy getting into tankers. Think it’s a while off yet though
Depends what you want to do, the smaller firms doing heating oil etc will often start newbies to the industry. I worked with Brogan fuels in Grangemouth on the Petroplus contract & they were starting tipper drivers & training them up. Always a way to get into that type of work to start off with.

Spot-on mate, I forget how many times I’ve written something very similar to this on this forum ^^^^^

Tipper drivers; training them up = oxymoron. You’ll be telling us next that they take agency drivers.

Brogan fuels loved the tipper drivers mentality, racing about & keeping their own overtime down. Health & safety took second place to profit margins.
