This applies to any job, no-one likes to risk starting someone without experience, it can cost a lot if it goes wrong.
If you owned a £30000 truck would you give the keys to a complete stranger, who's only just passed his test?
And then put a load on it worth up to million pounds.?
You will have to find someone with and old truck carrying low value goods paying low wages to build up experience.
My son's a Transport Manager with a large National company and they are laying off drivers almost every week and sending back Units to the lease company.
It's very tough in transport, or any field at the moment.
