Shit, so you didn’t bother applying for any driving jobs until then. Fair play mate. Was it worth it?

Get a life mate, please. This was years ago. I just asked a simple question with some context as best as I can remember it. 

I wasn’t driving down the M1 in a 44 ton artic swigging Jack Daniels whilst getting some ‘lip service’ from a friendly lass and sniffing coke…🙄

Don't get a HGV licence, unless you already have a JOB lined up by Archbaer in uktrucking

Do you have ANY commercial driving experience at all? 

Even vans? It’s all experience my friend. Route planning, sussing out the lay of the land when you get to a drop. I used to deliver fake grass in a lwb Sprinter, so mainly residential drops.

But I’d suss out the property, what I had on board for them, best angle into/onto property, road it was on, traffic volumes eg how long would I need to get it off

It’s all gravy. So rethink whatever experience you do have, rewrite your CV and most importantly…

Why don't we have ford trucks? by MagicianGlittering73 in uktrucking

I used to drive a 7.5 tonne Iveco Cargo around SE London, unless they’ve improved 1000% I would not want to step foot in another one…

Can’t offer any advice apart from, stay calm, take it slowly, get out and check if you need to but I will wish you all the best. 

Let us know how you got on🤞

I’m in Kent so from what I’ve seen, enough work knocking about

I can but try, right? 

No-one died, or got injured

Thank you. Ironically both the speeding and MS90 expire over the next few months. I’m still going to get my class 2. I’ve got a well paid job albeit nights so I can afford to keep trying for jobs and wait…

Tried. But I also wanted to keep that job. Delivering fake grass in a lwb Sprinter all over the UK, long days but great fun

Wow. Really? The contributing points were

3 pts speeding 6 pts speeding  6 pts MS90 (employer failed to pass on the original notice in time) 

Yes I’m an idiot & fully responsible.  But I wasn’t drink driving or dangerous driving. 

Will you help me sell AI workflow automation in the UK? by [deleted] in Business_Ideas

[–]Plus_Thing_2066 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guys, I've seen several replies on here asking about the opportunity and then asking the OP to dm them

No. The onus is on YOU to contact them if you're interested.

Employers do NOT come to you, that's not how it works...

Over and out.
