Morning all,
Ive just joined so thought i would come and say hello,i came back to transport last summer after a 10 years plus break,i currently drive a 7.5 ton curtainsider for a small haulage company in south east london primarily on palletways work but occasionally im let loose on some general loads :grimacing: , after working hard for 7 months the boss has offered to sub me the money for my class 2 test which im taking soon hopefully and hope to take class 1 in the future…im often asked why i drive a truck and i just say because i enjoy it despite the crappy days now and again.

So hello to all and thanks for reading my waffle

Hi there littletrucker1978!

Nice to have you onboard mate! :smiley:

Like others have said, it sounds like you are lucky to have a good boss, but by the same token you have obviously done enough to impress him in order for him to make the offer. So well done there mate and may I wish you all the very best with your cat C training. Don’t forget to keep us all posted with your progress including some photos if poss.

Cheers! :sunglasses:
