I’ve had my class 2 for 5 years and now just booked my class 1 at ritchies training in Glasgow.
I have family near cardiff and I currently live in Edinburgh. So I’m flexible with either location to start class 1 through agency or getting perm/temp work at a company.
I’m just curious how the situation is with new class 1 drivers with agency’s like driver hire and ADR network? I’m certainly not wanting to do class 2 now. Problem is i’ve been out of driving for 4 years but i guess who would know? My reason for not driving isn’t to do with health or banned from driving.
At this time of the year, it is your best chance of getting a start regardless of just being a new pass. You have class 2 experience in your favour. Just tell any new potential employer you were embarrassed of your class 2 days, they will understand and yule get a start for the xmas rush.
If you have previous experience repairing and cleaning fridges keep quiet about it, evidently some potential hgv drivers have been turning up for job interviews and offering to service the canteen fridge and then blowing it up.

Good luck , I’m doing mine in Portsmouth the same week
Did you particularly want to do agency work? Quite a few firms will consider new passes now. I’d suggest you get your bum in gear though as after Christmas things will slow down dramatically.

Some agencies want to see evidence of LGV driving in the last 180 days.
I would suggest that your CV will need ’ modifying ’ if you have not been driving wagon’s for the last four years

I wish the op every success with his c+e training.
But why should he tell potential employers that he’s embarrased about his class 2 days?
I’m class two and mighty dam proud of it and earning some serious cash.

What UKT is saying is this; " If you are ever at a MSA toilets and you have a sneaky peek at the other gentleman sausages on view, it will be really easy to spot the rigid driver’s ".

Yes we’re the ones who aren’t trying to show it off to any poor sod who comes along or has a bright red codpiece with the words I’ve got a big one on it
