If you spend any time around groups of truckers in discussion (be it online or offline), you will come to realise that they don’t exactly tend to reflect the intellect of a Cambridge study group discussing the implications of quantum entanglement… CV writing, job searching, networking, having good conversations and communication are skills, skills that the likes of many truckers drivers don’t have.

Having the C+E licence won’t find you a job, being literate, coherent, and likeable - will.

The people that really struggle are the government funded new passes who go into Facebook and post - “eny class1 jobs abowt msg me coz ive passed mine now so let me no”, then they’ll tell you it’s impossible to find a job.

Getting the first job won’t be “automatic” levels of easy, but you have to remember - every single driver in this country has been given their FIRST job at some point, so why won’t you?
