so i passed my class c in feb
cpc in april
was in a job that i hated (office)
now into my 2nd week of driving and in the port approaching cairnryan (scotland)
Away for a 2 week stint and only slightly bricking it
so yes there is work for newbies even if its neither the greatest paying or a bit physical
I just tell them to get a grip! 
Glad you got a start and you’re happy-ish with it, you seem to appreciate that you’re coming in on ground level and need to work your way up! 
So best of luck, and you will get more comfortable over the coming weeks and months mate! 
well done, tempted by tramping as well
