Just doing a small home job for my new double garage, this is normally a very quiet residential street

Our old sprinter is in the background in a few photo's. Its hanging now, done 190k and seen more sideways action than most mk2 escorts







Replaced by a pishy FWD transit can just make it out in the far right of this picture.

I have always wanted to be a lorry driver since I was a kid, I had hundreds of model lorries all over my house and always took one in the car with me, I don't think I would be able to drive one now as I can't do any heavy lifting or stand for long. What do you think mate?

Cheers, Benni.

Cheers, Benni.
if you find the right company( i have )there is no heavy lifting( how heavy can a box of crisps be?) as for standing, the worst part of the job is having to sit at a distribution centre and watch dvds in the cab and get paid a good wage.
try phoning a local training company for an assesment. they usually give you a taster session to see if it suits you before wasting a fortune.
go for it

Benni , trunking is the term we use. but lgv 1 is the class but you have to go through lgv2 first. that is rigid vehcles before they let you loose in an artic vehicle.
costs aroung 2 grand for both licences
