Hi all,
So I registered on the forum 6 years ago and still haven’t taken the plunge.
I’m quite an honest and open person so I’m going to be completely blunt here.
I’ve always loved driving, I want to drive for a living but don’t particularly have a huge interest in the haulage side of HGV driving. What I’m interested in is recovery work. I understand that as a newbie I’ll need to take whatever work I can get my hands on but ultimately I’d love a career within the recovery sector.
I’m at a point in my life where I’ve been stuck in my current job for over 9 years in an office, I’m climbing the walls. My college qualifications from back in the day were all engineering based and I always planned to work in a physical job, but ended up in a call centre job that I’m fed up with.
Last year I unfortunately found my dad dead in his house, since then I’ve really been of the mindset that life is too short and I need to get my arse in gear - I’m nearly 30 now and just want to find a career to settle into for life, and I feel like working as a recovery driver would be right up my street.
Financially, I could just about scrape enough together to do both class 1 and 2 - it’s just a lot of outlay to potentially go wrong and still end up with no work. I’ve already had my medical and got my provisional.
Someone with some wisdom - what do I do? I’m really not sure where to turn with it.
Thanks in advance
Jordan
