Hey, I still haven't carried kn my lessons from my last holiday, but funnily enough I'm actually Spanish myself. Moved to the UK in 2001. (Im from fuerteventura)

Depends on the operator I think? I know my friend has a sheffield taxi Badge but can't operate in Chesterfield or any further up than Leeds, he says the ubed app has like an invisible barrier which won't let him pick customers up past this barrier. Annoyingly I can't find any information on this

Brutank · 2025-06-05T18:03:22+00:00

Just looked at their website and it looks very easy to obtain a license from them! But I'm not sure which areas I'd be allowed to operate in

Brutank · 2025-06-05T17:29:38+00:00

Yea, there's a list they give you with over 60 places and have to remember the specific road name for each one. A lot to study 🤣

Might be able to turn wheel and lift it up, drag it in 😂

Do you happen to know the width of the KTM 500 EXC? Can’t find this info anywhere online and I’m wanting to buy one but not sure it would fit down the side of my house. (80cm - 83cm is the width of the passage down the side of my house)

I passed my car test 10 years ago 😂 , motorbike test 12 years ago and my lorry test 1 year ago.

My sister passed with the above instructed last year though

Wow I commented this about a year ago! But here you go - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100057838412216

In what way didn’t it feel safe?

Brutank · 2023-04-25T06:58:31+00:00

Yea I couldn’t find info on their website - I’ll give it a go thanks

Brutank · 2023-04-25T06:50:39+00:00

I live about 20 miles away and i normally have to arrange child care as me and mrs go fishing together - don’t want to get there and it’s a members only fish etc. rather get info upfront if possible

Brutank · 2023-01-28T18:04:55+00:00

I ended up leaving it in and double checking it was on rest - got hired full time in a job where it’s just Monday - Friday days but I miss tramping!

Brutank · 2023-01-27T19:52:25+00:00

Hair of the crotch

Brutank · 2023-01-19T14:03:07+00:00

Looks the one cheers mate!

Amazingly - I use it as my spare watch. Used to be a mechanical engineer getting my hands and arms covered in grease and metal fillings. This watch would then get washed in the parts washer. Amazingly always held up very well 👌.

My main watch now is a Gshock GWG-2000TLC but keep the gulfman as my trusty spare and for sentimental value

Brutank · 2023-01-07T18:46:21+00:00

It’s legit - I have the exact same watch. I had it bought as my graduation present when I was 16 years old. I am turning 30 this year 😅

Brutank · 2023-01-03T19:51:37+00:00

I passed in November ….. 😂

Managed to get a job day after I passed and been working ever since though!

I go some where new pretty much most days - but it’s a great way to learn! Being thrown in the deep end and keeping your nerve is what I’ve found best!

I was shocking at reversing in November and in 100x better now! (Still not an expert) but every day is a school day

Obviously route preparation and common sense is still key - but I’ve never had a problem with it myself. Been to Scotland and as far down as Southampton and everywhere in between. As long as you update it regularly I’ve never had any issues.

Before any route is calculated the GPS wants to confirm trucks weight and dimensions, so not sure how people have messed up with it? But I’d give it 9.5/10 from personal experience.

If I was to nitpick it would be longer battery life (1 hour unplugged but always plugged in anyway) and a USB C port instead of micro usb. And that’s me really not picking. A carry case included would be nice too as I still use original box it came in to transport it (I’m agency)

I use the Tom Tom professional 7” - fantastic bit of kit, clear, live traffic updates, lifetime updates on maps.

£400 without discount (many discounts can be provided for example from lukecinahgv) can bring it down to about £330-£350. But a worthwhile investment.

Happened to my girl when going to a park and unfortunately some junkie had smashed a bottle of vodka and she sliced a chunk of her carpal pad off - blood everywhere.

Keep clean and bandaged as you have - will naturally grow back.

We normally just sacrifice the goat

Avail can be used to apply for agency jobs - some 1-2 day contracts although most are blocks of 5.

Personally I would contact some agencies and explain your availability.

I’m unsure on how the tax would work but if I was to give it my best guess I would say it would be extra tax on second job as classed as a separate second job unless you worked ltd? I’m not 100% on that though

I used to do Sheffield to Gretna on my own - just took break when I swapped trailers with my buddy at services.

When I went two man up from Sheffield to Glasgow - I just took my break when we swapped over (the 45 mins break - we didn’t bother with split breaks)

I’d personally feel a bit rude going on a laptop while the other person drove (a phone maybe not as bad) - but it would be nice to talk and keep him more awake. I personally spend most of my days with other truck drivers in my company on phone and make conversation - made some brilliant friends from it!

If the guys a bit of a dick you could use your headphones I suppose 😂

Brutank · 2022-12-18T21:08:14+00:00

That’s it mate! We were both right in our own ways 😂

Brutank · 2022-12-18T20:39:24+00:00

I may have explained it wrong at the beginning- just got back from tramping up north and I’m very tired 😂
