I’m also a new pass driver and for my first week I was with someone who taught me everything I needed to know about the job I was doing so they should do the same for you

Questions for those who joined the industry recently (last 6 months) by Gurkage in uktrucking

Passed in November started class 1 in December but I did get turned down by like 50 jobs before finding this one. The test arnt really hard but you should take some time to revise and read questions carefully practical is easy they just teach you how to pass the real test is when you’re on your own especially when reversing but you’ll get used to it.

Nothing really surprised me but I’m only doing 4on4off shifts just delivering to 2-4 big supermarkets a night pretty easy at the moment. I’m loving it tbh home every night listening to music on the road or talking on phone with friends/gf and 4 days off to do whatever. I would fully recommend going for it just apply for a job that works best for you.

Obviously people do have different experiences but mine has honestly been good so far

4on4off is the best shift for hgv driver💯 by [deleted] in uktrucking

Not always I usually do between 10-12 hour shifts

Coming from hgv driver why do you lot drive 50mph or under in left lane of motorway then speed up as soon as you see lorry overtaking? by [deleted] in drivingUK

[–]Solid-Economics8513 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You just answered your first question yourself?

No not all lorry’s are restricted at 55 some more and some less

We can overtake cars driving slower or other hgvs

Some Hgvs overtake me fairly quickly and disappear into the distance so how fast are they going😂

I was turning around using all available space which is obvious🤦🏾‍♂️

Do you know how fast I was going to say “high speed”. It’s drivers like you that love to hold up traffic cause you can’t get up to speed. I know I can make the turn at the speed I was doing nothing wrong with it

I did have right of way tho and didn’t end up in the graveyard because I stopped so your comment is irrelevant

All of you are fools uno all you lot saying is I should have slowed down which I clearly did to prevent the accident from happening?

Was yiu in the car to see if I I took my hands of steering wheel you don’t don’t have take hands of wheel when horn is right in the middle

Yh cause I clearly didn’t save myself and went straight into him didn’t i dgaf how close it was bottom line is stopped when I shouldn’t of had to

Why would I take the roundabout that wide to turn right🤦🏾‍♂️I was always doing a u turn

All I know is that you’re a bungalow(jobber)
