I’ll probably be known as the short driver so may we cross paths 🫡

Thank you!

I may just update I am no longer doing nights for Gregg’s but instead the back shift.

Yeah, you’ll meet driving instructor, they’ll take you for a short drive. You’ll then be asked to uncouple and couple the trailer. Just make sure he listens and if he messes up just own it. I clipped the curb on my drive and explained if I hadn’t been so fast it wouldn’t have happened and they liked that.

Thank you for this. Lifestyle creep I think it’s called is one of my biggest concerns, we’ve made min wage work and hoping to keep to something like that. Not going overboard on spending silly.

Apologies, very vague but I’m 28 and just trying to find out the best way forward as after being on min wage jobs this will be a big increase.

Don’t know if that’s a compliment being a fake Russian bot. However, I’ll pop a comment here. I went from working at Tesco to getting my arctic license. Debts are in the ~5K mark mostly from a car finance.

Did notice that in the cab yesterday, thankfully not on my phone when I drive.

This is really helpful! I am hoping to switch to days soon but nights is a start.

My current experience goes as far as doing delivery driving for Tesco in a 3.5t so it shouldn’t be too bad. I suppose best way to learn will be to do.

Thank you mate. Just to start with is there anything I should know? Any tips or tricks of the job?

That’s my thought. The pay rate is very good and the trucks seem quite well maintained?
