How do an all that, I’m iain, 45 and i’m an alc… sorry, wrong group
Been a self employed mechanic/automotive welder for the last 10 years, last couple the work dried up (too many competitors suddenly sprung up) so as of today the keys got handed back and the works finished…
Had a trip out to ‘Bucket and Sponge’ to do my medical this morning and then took the forms over to Trafford House in Manchester to hand them in, second time this week as I took my Digi-Tacho application in on Monday… so now its just a wait, a theory and HPC test and on to lessons with Paul at Hindley Green LGV… here goes
Welcome , Did pretty much the same thing a year ago , the conversion from self employed ( Machinery installation engineer) , to LGV trainee , to employment as cat c driver .
Hope it goes as smoothly for you

Hi hope it goes well & please mind the language as if it need a star it not allowed
I put the star in there, but fair enough, sorry
Yeah swearing isn’t allowed here, not entirely sure why as can’t see anyone that is too young to see swear words being on here The rule of the thumb is though - if you need to put a star to get rid of the [zb] then it’s a swear word and you will be told off my a moderator, if you think something is a swear word and it doesn’t get covered by the [zb] when you post then you’re all good.
That being said and out of the way, welcome to TNUK and Good Luck!!
