Jesus ive had a bad morning! Was over near holt going down a B road and come to a hill which I near jack kniffed going down and then I had to go up a hill which took me 10 minutes, I then come to another hill which took me ages again but lucky enough a gritt wagon cone and they through gritt under my wheels.

I certainly need to find another way home coz I'm not going up and down those hills loaded with 24 tonne of wine!

Big G

Shoulda rung me, I was skiving near the Chavford centre.


I work for K+Nazi, after getting out if anyone knows of any jobs.

Benni

I envy all your jobs. I was mad on trucks as a child and wanted to be a long distance lorry driver. I had a stint of epilepsy so I never will now.

Benni.

id dread to think what you'd get up to in a wagon for a week benni. prob best your not a driver lol.

Benni

I've been all over delivering for QVC with a friend. I'm in my element if I'm honest. The thought of being up early in a service station with a bacon butty knowing I'm off on a long journey and I'm not coming back for a week makes me smile.

If you lads ever want a partner, I'd love to come along. Sad, I know.

(should i tell benni i have twin bunks in the foden....... prob best not to lol)

Benni

You don't need twin beds... While you sleep I'll sit behind the wheel and pretend I am driving through Germany with 'We've got a long way to go, and a short time to get there' on my Ipod.

Benni.

G420 DEL

lmfao! you wouldnt be bored with a benni on board.

Benni

Never!!! They should sell minature me with a suction to go on the passenger window. Drivers falling asleep would be a thing of the past. Do you have a pull down horn, or am I making a show of myself when I do the motion? No-one honks it.

Benni.

Big G

Ive got visions of Benni being sat on the mirror arm

Benni

Fpmsl. If anyone wants someone to hang off their mirror, I am available.

Benni.

kosman

davyb

Hahaha! Funny as fcuk this lol!!

Benni

You fancy a bit of Benni? I'm desperate to share a bunk with you! If not then I'll reluctantly go with Kosman and sleep with one eye open. I have issues, but he has real issues.

Benni.

Davy, how long did it take you to get your HGV license (what class are you) and what did it cost?
Cheers

ST_BEAN

i suffered epilepsy mate i had grand petit mal (photo sensitive) been surgical clear for 9 1/2 years now mate The law states that anyone suffering epilepsey is allowed to drive a hgc or pcv providing they can prove that they have done 10 years seizure free where ever your are on controlled drugs or not mate... Thats always been my dream driving a scania topline across europe....hopefully you can do it in the near future

Benni

My last seizure was at 19 and I am 23. Hopefully one day I can be rich and when I buy a DVD off eBay, I'll be able to go and pick it up in my HGV.

Benni.

Benni

I only piss the bed if I'm on the top.

Benni.

ST_BEAN

do what i did mate to pass the time if you aint found a decent job mate do one that you enjoy stick with it for another 6 years before you know it you will be applying for that provisnal license mate

im shifting mental health patients inbetween hospitals cant belive ive only got 9 months to go... even got all the money waiting pmsl

good luck with it matey n keep your chin up anythings possible

Benni

I am doing Graphics Design at college, which I'm sure will always be my main job. I was unfortunate as it was down as classic migraine and I could have done what I wanted, but then the latest specialsit I seen classed it as epilepsy. No-one agrees with her but she's the main man so to speak, so it's down as it.

I'm lucky 'cos I know when I am going to have one, as I get flashing stars above my left eye for a while and then I am off. I wish you all the best with yours mate!

Benni.

m_nettleship

Im One too!!!!

ST_BEAN

thats bad news mate i never got no symptoms of when i was going to have a fit.... sounds like a pretty good course your doing as it is mate...ill keep my fingers crossed for ya for the next 6 years about you not having a seizure n doing your hgv matey

n cheers matey

Benni

I am good at Graphics so may as well go down that road. I was crazy on lorries as a kid and if I could take my license I would. Years ago it was all I wanted to do, lol. It must be awful not having any warnings? God knows how that must feel, mine were bad enough.


You'll be cruising in your wagon in less than a year, for sure!

Benni.

delterflier

im saving for my class 1,2 and adr tests,think its about 3 grand for the lot.

cud do with some info mind.

best company to take the tests with?
what company will take on a driver thats just past his tests but has 2 years multi drop experiance in vans?
how to go about geting a job doing longdistance cross chanel deliverys?

and how well is the trade coping with the resetion?

20 questions i know but the only way to lern is to ask

cherrs john

kosman

ive got class 1 and class2,you can do them both at the same time and its usually between 3-5 days depending how good you are with test at the end,both licences,tests medicals and tutions cost me 1600 all in,i passed 1st time,if you fail i think its 270 for a retest.

if thats what you really want to do just try a week out in the uk 1st,sorry to piss on your dream but its shit,really shit,but you sound as though you might be a 'born' trucker,some people love it and wouldnt do anything else.

ill let you go on bottom bunk then,but dont blame me if top bunk gives under my weight and crushes you

i dont know of any national companys but i did my licecnse with tal training on sheffield,they were good,they had 4 of our lot and everyone passed 1st time.
as for jobs mate theres that many drivers out of work that the big firms have got their pic,you'd be better finding a little local firm that would take you on,thats how i did it anyway,got expericne under me belt then fucked off to a bigger firm till i got laid off,bigger firms tend to be more well run and have better methods of work,thats my experience anyway.

theres a lot of firms that go over the water now,so if you're willing to go you shouldnt have a problem

recession has hit the tipping indurtry hard but my mate who drives a tautliner has never slowed down.

loko

well i may as well kill 2 birds with 1 stone here, new to pf and a truck owner/driver as well
love my fords so much i painted my truck performance blue

oh btw hello everyone

TOMMY_RS

, nice truck you got there

kosman

alreet pal,mint truck that badboy,what you on,reefers or tautliners?

davyb

That MAN looks well smart in performance blue!

Tim I done my licenses quite quick, a lesson rach day for 4 days and your test on the 5th. I done my class 2 on a scheme which was mostly funded by the government but I was on the last ever course. The place I done my class 1 he charges 800 for each 1 which includes your test. They are called town and country near kirkby.

cossiejsy

Hello and welcome to pf loko and very nice truck
