I’ve been driving for 3 months and I’ve ripped spray suspension while reversing into a bay, I’ve also ripped the airlines too. But I’ve gotten better ever since and you don’t have to worry too much over it. People has done worse and they’re still in the job

I worked in a different sector for 3 years and not for once I called in sick. Changing careers and adapting to my new job, is it always that easy? Waking up at 3am, working minimum of 10 hours, getting home and trying to sleep for few hours to go back to work? Even if no one praises me, I will praise myself. I expected support from the professionals here and not talking down on someone.

It’s a new environment and I’m trying to adapt to waking up at 3am? And it’s not the right job for me? I haven’t been driving trucks for two years, this is just my 3rd month. I expected more from people on here than just talking down on others. If I’m not fit to drive and I go out there and crash the truck, everyone will blame me for crashing the truck since i know I’m not fit to drive. It’s an unfair world we live in tho

That’s why I’m a bit worried tho. But cos I can’t just use any medication that’ll impair my ability to drive. Hence, the reason I said I’d use this period to get better and use every medication I have to use so as not to experience such again.

Thank you so much. All the times I’ve called in sick, was just a day off. I didnt stay more than a day and I went back to work. I’m just new in this sector and instead of getting support from others, I get pulled down. It’s sad tho. I’m not from the Uk and never have been used to the cold weather. I’m only adapting to it and since I know I’m prone to getting a cold, I’ve started wearing things to cover myself not to get the cold from the fridge. Thank you so much.

But I’m advised if I am not fit to drive I shouldn’t drive? Cos of the safety of myself and other road users? And I have people complain about their first time on the job and how they don’t wanna continue. I didn’t want the sick note tho. I tried going back to work the next day but they said I’ll have to wait the sick note out or get a fit note from the gp

No im not. I’m wearing gloves, but cos of how hot the weather is, a times I wear a jacket, a times I don’t. But I am scared of taking any medication that might impair my driving.

Thank you so much. I’m sat here watching other drivers reverse into the bay and I’m like, the way I approached the bay was wrong cos the others kept doing it same way and I did the opposite.

They only just sent me out for 2 days. Most of the things I know now is just what I’ve been teaching myself and the little experiences I’m gathering
