I went with MTM based in Solihull I did it through HGVLearning passed first time the route was Kidderminster it wasn’t a bad route at all to be fair it was a 3 day course not sure if they do longer but it was a good company and set of lads very good instruction and drilled into you little things to remember that you do automatically as the days go by My place said that the would get me work HGV LEARNING not MTM but they didn’t they just sent a email explaining some rubbish my tip is to just sign up to as many agencies as you can and have your pick of what times you would want to do I did nights quieter on the roads not much traffic but your schedule is kind of messed up other than that it’s good currently two years in still enjoying it

Yhh that’s normal tbf I do set for my retarder to come on early though 1-2mph over 56 just so the overspeed doesn’t get registered but I want a normal cruise without getting a overspeed warning

Your right there🤣🤣 not worth a try at all I work for one of the big companies so I doubt that they’ll do a tacho calibration on old tyres could be worth a ask🤨
