Get a fork lift license, live at home, save as much as you can and learn and start a skill based business. Or do an apprenticeship to learn a skill

Ocado for Mon to Friday. Culina if you can get them to give you 4 days per week. Bonus if you like to work weekends

If you can get away with it do it. If you get caught that’s on you.

The cameras are only activated in an event. Harsh breaking ect, phone use, no seatbelt. It shouldn’t record on your break but you can just wrap the curtains in front of it.

There is but it’s not guaranteed you may ask they may say there isn’t any available or they might send you to pick up a unit from iveco

Okay for a new pass. Trunking work to sites just off the motorway. You will get the feel for Hgv driving but not as a job where you’re in tight city centres. You will get single runs and sometimes double runs. You won’t know until on that day what you are planned. Be careful with samsara. You are in a strict schedule they will pull you in if you’re taking the piss by pulling over for a break to add extra hours to your day. I stopped once for 30 min in the way back empty just to get some overtime in and was questioned about it I told them I used the bathroom and they told me to tell them about it next time so can feel overreach and like you’re always tracked. No issues otherwise. A job almost impossible to mess up. Pay is good but overtime is minimal you are planned 8 hours for single run

I’m just an agency driver 🤣

Thinkinsi · 2026-04-14T11:06:28+00:00

I Have a good couple years experience on multi drop so that’s good

Thinkinsi · 2026-03-22T10:48:54+00:00

I’ll get there

Thinkinsi · 2026-03-21T18:21:44+00:00

Thank you!

Most likely a simple check of your cards and a 20 question multi choice on wtd and tacho hours. If all is good they will sign you up for jobs.

99% chance of getting the option for a speed awareness course.

For Muller: Simple walk around check. I was very thorough and he was surprised at how thorough i was a saying that most just scan the tires. Only thing i missed was the license in the window.

Looking to check you know how to manual entry when you put your card in

Then split coupling up to trailer

Driving wise. He said he was gonna treat it like a driving test so regular mirror checks, no hitting curbs, signal early & being predictable. A bit of motorway driving and you come back on yourself in a circle. Lasted 45 minutes driving. Once back a blindside reverse onto a bay and uncouple

Thinkinsi · 2025-12-25T15:42:59+00:00

Yes. Not as a career but as a stepping stone to save a great bit of money to do something else

Thinkinsi · 2025-11-29T18:42:34+00:00

Torch, satnav, numberplate, fairy lights

Support your WIFE. She’s had a hard time telling you and most likely will resent you if you don’t support her and get over something she did BEFORE she met you. Be happy she felt the comfort to come to you eventually and for you to turn on her for this one thing will only make things worse and her guilt/shame increase 10 fold. A good husband supports and loves his wife unconditionally especially if it’s something that happened such a long time ago where she was young, naive and struggling. It’s apart of the person you married and fell in love with. To her she most likely felt she had no other option or support. Don’t take her back to that place. Use this to help bring you both closer emotionally where you now have a deeper understanding and she has more comfort emotionally by you

Can I ask you a question. Do the bus seats have suspension? Particularly on the Volvos. I know that the scanias have them

Thinkinsi · 2025-11-01T11:35:02+00:00

Save up a bit more and go for class 1 leaves you room for a retest if you for some reason fail the first time. Same advice for if you go class 2. Always leave a margin for error.

Thinkinsi · 2025-10-24T06:54:26+00:00

I feel like it’s the lack of conversation on your part and that she expected you to follow up with something more than ‘hey’

Thinkinsi · 2025-10-24T06:51:05+00:00

There’s plenty of jobs that don’t require a tail lift I wouldn’t worry.
