Sorry I have not been around much. Personal life has taken over a bit this end with the missus not being too well and out of work. I am still not driving. Been trying and trying. Even joined loads of agencys but have only every recieved 1 call (and I was on holiday that week). I am still looking to progress into my C+E (when money is back on the level) and get a driving job. Hopefully, when I do I will be able to carry on with my blogs.
Anyway, that was just a quick message to let you all know I am ok, and still a Cat C trucker at heart. I just want to get on the road now.
Keep yer chin up NB. I think this is the first time I’ve looked back here since passing my C+E last May and I havent been near a truck since. Might just have to go a have a days ‘familiarisation’ trg somewhere just so that I can get my hands back on one. Cant believe its been a year.
Hope things improve for you and you at least get a Cat C job in the near future and then onto the Artic.
I still have flashbacks of those breakfasts at Steeton.
Things will get better, keep pestering the agencies, try ARC for class 2 work. I just did a days work for them in a 12 or 15 tonner, was hard graft with lots of handballing, porter trolleying etc, but 8 to 8.50 an hour helps. I registered with ARC eons ago and didn’t hear a thing, but they just rang up out of the blue, so keep pestering them.
…cos if you put an extra 3t on a 12tonner, you’ll be for the high-jump if that’s discovered.
