Try to apply to any Stobart job either directly through their website or through their agency called Logistic Peolpe.

I passed my Class 1 at the end of march this year, previously doing Class 2 in 2020, but no driving. Applied for dozens of jobs, and gone to few assesments with no luck. Only Stobart gave me a chance without assesment or whatsoever.

They take people without experience. Put you for around two weeks with a mentor driver and then you mainly drive on your own.

I know that the pay is silly over there, but I was more focused on gaining the experience and then looking for something else.

You can also try XPO/GXO logistics, WS Transportation, Gist or Tuffnells.

Good luck!

Thank for the tips. Can you say what the pay was at Stobarts?

It’s not the best, as most people know. It’s around £13.10. It will pay of with experience, and then you’ll be able to find something wirh better pay.
