I did my class 2 and 1 all in one go at the end of last year. Even after doing 5 years of bus driving I still struggled to find a company to take me on coz of lack of experience but you have to stick at it I applied for job after job with no joy then a carpet company took me on doing class 2 delivering carpets to shops on the Scottish Borders wich was hard work but I loved it and then after doing that for 4 months I got offered a job for fowler welch class 1 trunking wich I start this week. You just have to keep at it eventually someone will give you chance

My dad has worked for Jack Richards and son for 10 years now and when covid took over he was one of the first ones to get furlough due to him being a cancer patient. He is finally back at work but he isn't a tramper anymore due to it being to dangerous. Richards didn't look for drivers for a while but now they are again. Just subscribed to you and I love it. My dad tells me never to be a HGV driver. He has had over 20 years experience and some of the stuff he has seen isn't the greatest and I am a family guy so it won't really suit me. Keep up the amazing work and keep on trucking.

Appreciate the words on Agencies mate. I'm currently working for an Agency now whilst I save for my licenses doing factory work etc and I always hear a lot of bad feedback on how they work, kinda brings you down without you knowing why. But it's how you say, they give the work to those who want it and are consistently putting in the effort. Only something small but it's helped clear the negative aura I guess you could call it, and it will get me to where I want to be. Appreciate your videos

Fair play, I'm happy tramping in my class 2, but the company I am now working for will put me through my class 1 next year. Only advice I would add for new drivers is that there are still a lot of companies driving trucks with manual boxes, range changers and splinters, and they would of most likely done their training in automatic...... I also started off with agencies, and since getting my class 2 have not been short of work and I'm based in the south west......

So far I am at provisional back, have my tacho card just need to wait to do my theory tests, which need to wait for just over a month then get training booked in, and have my cpc mod 2 booked in just over 2 months. Job wise have started looking around, and chatting to drivers and a couple local companies that are always on the look out because they don't pay "enough" so i think thats a good thing to look out for me I think, better to get in full time and get that experience in and be willing to crack on with anything, better to be know as the newbie that will give anything a go, driving anything than be a picky so & so. Once you get your foot in the door you are sorted

Nice work pal, nobody knows it all however long they have been driving because the industry and the rules change constantly. I would also add 2 things when dishing out advice..1. Read the Highway Code cover to cover (it's not hard) at least once a year and 2. Study tacho rules and wtd they can be a mine field to get your head around especially when you start getting into going on a ferry etc and for a newbie they are quite daunting but eventually you will see ,not so bad , but know your hours properly and they will be your friend!...especially when doing time sensitive deliveries...you can do all this before even applying for a licence....keep up the good work mucker 👍👍👍

As I was bus driving I went straight to class 1 because I was already used to driving a large vehicle. If it wasn't for that I most likely would have gone 2 then 1 for the same reasons you stated. But the buses got me comfortable with driving through housing estates and mental busy high streets, both day and night rush hour pissing rain in the dark etc. Not being able to see a thing because my cargo was breathing and steaming all the windows up.

Hi Matt Y , if we are talking about age , here's something that's true. Our oldest Driver is 82 , yes 82 . During the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962 when we nearly went to Nuclear War with Russia . He was a National Service Soldier in the Royal Engineers on short notice ready to deploy. Still , it's not a bad firm to work for , but you have to be a Tramper otherwise out and back in one shift wears you out. Tony.

Took me 2 and half months. Only ever driven class 2 whilst learning. Been on artics since January passed everything December 2019. It can get all done in 1 month however the DVLA send everything back 2nd class which takes ages. All in it set me back around £2750

Good advice. I started HGV training in September. Took me 10 months. If it wasn’t for the rona, I’d have completed in 6. I posted on one of your earlier videos, my medical took ages; 8-9 weeks. My tacho card arrived within a week; posted 21st arrived by 28th. Still waiting on upgraded license and DQC. I think I can drive on the Mod 4 certificate, but would rather wait another week or two. I have registered with Driver Hire. I don’t think each branch will provide the same experience. One branch called and we had a good chat about my plans, what is expected and other stuff. Another branch fobbed me off with a couple of lines in an email. Regardless, I'm looking forward to getting on the road by mid August hopefully. I'm up for taking anything I can get for the first 6 months, get some experience doing different stuff, then find my preference.

It's a career that you really have to want to do. If you go into it just wanting a job or a career change then there's every chance your going to get very disillusioned very quickly. Think long and hard before you spend any money.

Hi mate I've just watched one of your vlogs where at the end you had to run back to get your camera (go pro) I would get a small remote control car to fix it to or a drone so you don't have to keep running back for it.

You can download the current D4 medical form, only just updated last month so most in post offices will be wrong, but you have to have an official D2 licence form, so best bet go to post office ask for the D2 forms, print off the one from website and book medical in with the likes of D4drivers, a lot cheaper and faster than your GP

You can read all the rules online (working time directive, driving time etc etc) you get a Digicard (have to apply for it, can't remember the cost) but it's just like a credit card. Slide it into a tacho, and then press the button to set it to other work, or break when you want. It'll switch to driving mode and count driving time automatically, so when you get to your 4.5hrs or 6hrs working time you can take a break. Stop, set tacho to break and wait until you've got however much break you want (45mins total to reset 4.5hrs drive time). When learning to drive you won't use your tacho card. Any company will tell you the basics when you're training with them after passing out. I'd imagine there's KZbin vids showing how to put a card in, manual entry, different modes, all the various rules etc but don't stress about it. Good luck.
