- Soooooo.... My first vlog in the Class 1 (C+E) truck on my own. I had a mentor for my first actual day, he did one run with me then followed me in his truck for the day. It went well & is still going well... I'm enjoying it!
Loads more to come from me :) Hope you enjoy!

When you were walking up to the wagon, I felt an enormous sense of pride for you !! Well done mate
Thanks a lot mate! :D:D Amazing feeling!
Best tip I was given for reversing was, the most important part of your reverse is done going forwards. If you line yourself up right at the start going backwards is easy ;)
That is true mate! The less i have to do going backwards the easier it will be :)
Cheers buddy!
Class 1 reversing on lessons is a start of a type of reverse we all learn day by day everyday we just have to hope we get better and better with time but experience is best when shared I have been doing this job for 15 years and I'm still learning and happy to share with anyone who asks to make them more safe and the tricks of the trade
good man class 1!!! (been driving class 1 over 20 yrs,still cant reverse at times!!!)
I passed my class 1 in November and watching you now is exactly how I felt and what I went through. First day I had a blindside onto a loading bay next to a wall. It took me nearly 15 minutes to complete it and I almost went back to class 2 there and then. Still in class 1 and loving it, reversing is still not perfect but improving. You will get there.
A tip: As you seem to have the same truck as me, use the crawler gear when reversing, helps a lot to start with.
Nice one mate. After my 2nd day i was actually considering going back to class 2... i was that stressed lol. It was my Mrs that talked me out of it haha!
Don’t stress pal, reversing comes with time. My first full time class 1 job after passing was on a bulk tipper and you should see some of the farms I’ve been in and out of. All I can say is I found it easier to stick the head out of the window and watch the back of the trailer. When you think you’re just about there, start correcting your steering to get straight. Have patience, it’ll come!!! 😀😀😀
Hi I just found your Handel on you tube,I was a class 1 tipper driver from November 1989- end of August 2011,I still remember my first day tipping at Walton-le-dale near Preston then went to Speke near Liverpool airport for a load of rice bran back to an animal feed mill near where I live in North Yorkshire.
Trust me everything will get better the more you do it,I've taken things out of quarries all over he UK including quarries in the middle of nowhere in South Wales,with out sounding a big head I have take stuff all over the UK.
The best advice that I was given when I started was to have faith in your self and what did God give you a mouth for use it.
The best thing you will ever do is ask people for directions,information and help.
Nice one buddy :) Hopefully i'll be all over the UK at some point haha!
Deady 2012 i learnt to drive in an ERF4x2 with a twin splitter box,,I've also driven two Volvo's,first was an ex shop delivery fm12 380 6x2 which went very well,it still had the plug on the back of the unit for lifting the floors up and down and the second was an ex Hastings unit from Hastings in Cumbria that was a 6x2 midlift Volvo globetrotter FH12 460 also went well,most days it would do 7+ mpg,if you ever need any help with anything and you think I can help you please ask as I'll be more than happy to help.
I don't know if you've been told yet but if your tipping some where you never been before always get out and make sure it's good firm-hard level ground to tip on and the slightest sign your tipper isn't going up right stop and drop it down and find some where level,don't let any one tell you where to tip if it's not safe to do so,a tipper not tipping straight will soon tip over and then you have to do the explaining and your boss will tell you it's your responsibility to make sure every thing is right before you tip,I'm telling you what was told to me when I started by my dad who had been a tipper driver since he was 21,my dad been a tipper driver 26yrs when I started and it was him I worked for for 22yrs,I've never tipped one over and I've never Jack knifed a wagon,yes I've had accidents and hit things but it's all part of the learning curve of life
At the tender age of 56 I've got my theory and hazard perception tests on Monday. I really appreciate the honesty in your videos.
Good luck buddy! :)
Hi Deady,just a piece of advice when I i started learning to reverse artics i was told never ask someone to do it for you as you'll never learn !! Get a experience driver to show you from outside ie how to turn and so on then you'll get the feel of the way the trailer goes,hope this helps.
So chuffed for you mate, when it comes to reversing remember that, the bigger the trailer the slower it moves, also move the steering wheel little and often so you can gauge where your rear end is, the only way you’ll get better is to keep at it, keep up the good work mate
Reversing is a skill which will come in time ....always slow don't over steer
get ya head out the window and if in doubt get out and av a 👀 good luck pal 👍
Well done Gareth for not just keeping in your comfort zone in Class 2 and diving straight into Class 1. You might not realise it mate but that inspires others. Your channel is a down to earth, how it is learning from the start which in my opinion takes guts especially sharing it with those who are in a similar situation. Balls to the haters mate and you've already shown you've plenty of balls and arnt frightened to jump in at the deep end. Maybe If you get some spare time in the yard just practice yourself on your own with some cones to get your confidence up if it really is bothering you but it looks like the job you have is perfect to practice on the job. Keep going my friend and youll be fine. Be safe Gareth
Thanks a lot mate! Really appreciate your kind comment!
I starting driving class 1's 28 years ago, I started out on tippers doing weekend work. The company said I will put someone with you for the first few weeks until you're confident, I went out with someone for one trip then he went home, he said take it if you want to do some more so I thought sod it I will! Best advise for reversing is put a bit on take a bit off, you will soon learn when to take the lock off just easier if done is small steps. It will soon become second nature so dont worry. You will cock up at times, we all do, just learn from it, theres many a time I've said "I wont do that again!"
Thanks for your advice buddy. I know where i'm going wrong, i do exactly as photom said, i crank it on realllll hard then can't get back straight.
I'm looking forward to trying all these tips everyone has give me :)
@@photom2 even now I draw an imaginary line and follow it, you think you will never be able to do it but it gets easier and becomes second nature
@@Deady2012 I would also say, keep it slow and try and do all your steering whilst moving, also if you haven't heard the saying "don't be a &*#& take a shunt" ie if you've messed up, go forward and start again 👍
I been meaning to ask someone who drive for more then 25 year to find out how did drivers use to communicate with transport without cellphone?
Don’t be so hard on yourself with the difficult reversing with a trailer, mate. I can reverse around a corner with a trailer in a car but can’t imagine how tough it is with a truck!! Just be patient with yourself and you will get good at going backwards in the end!! Practice is all you need pal. Am rooting for you to get great at reversing! You can do it my man. I really enjoy watching your videos and you’re a very interesting guy, thank you, Ben
Brilliant mate,you'll get the hang of the reverse in no time it will become second nature too you.ned kelly is brilliant the best out there,been watching ned for years,watching his vlogs gave me the kick up the arse to go for my hgv.keep it up bud👍🚚
GO ON SON!! So proud..cant wait to see the future vlogs..BOOM brother, When they go they go with a boom.
They do! It shit me right up! Made me duck haha!
Good to see you back Deady, and congrats on the new job.
Fair play man keep it up 👍Neds the man no bull with that lad
Top tip with bulkers or any trailer where they max you out using a weighbridge - fuel up for the run before going into to the place, Don’t load with an empty fuel tank. If they max you out and you then drive up the road and derve up for a long run, that’s when you creep over ha. You’ll get the reversing, I spent a few weeks utterly baffled by it then it clicked. Haven’t driven an HGV for 16 years then had to go back to it a few years ago briefly. Was dreading the reversing, but it clicks again. Like anything practice. Just take your time. I used to practice in quiet carparks and yards if I had drive time and duty left on my card before having a night out 😂
Yeah i have been practicing buddy :) Its coming together slowly.
Deedy, don't worry so much when there isn't anything visual to look at, as long as unloading where they expect to unload then shouldn't be too much of a problem. my main tip for you would be when you got a white line is drive passed until the 5th wheel is in line with the white line. then turn full lock until the trailer is about 45 degrees, then turn full lock back so the cab is 90 degrees with the bay or whatever, and the trailer is at a 45 degree angle with the centre trailer wheels. and follow the centre wheels as the other wheels will jump and skip, but will allow you to know when to straighten, or how much more or less to turn. the other trick is always try to keep the reversing to the driver side while starting out. hense why they teach you driverside reversing on the driving test. it isn't as hard to do the reverse to the left out of the designated area as you know. but the final box is the most restrictive on the drivers side and right turn. as for reversing straight there is 1 in 360 chance of getting it right, and about 90 or so of that you really don't want to be. which is the cab meeting the trailer. the trailer will keep turning unless you get that 1 degree, and even then could be having to steer agian within 0.5 mile. but as for knowing when to straighten etc. then that just comes with experience. but if you do the first part roughly like I say, then the white line will show you between all the wheels. like how close is the front trailer tires compaired to the rear trailer tires, when close enough to straight then you have gone a bit too far back before straightening the truck. so about 10 degrees with the trailer wheels start straightening the whole vehicle.
that is assuming that the yard or whatever is long enough for the trailer to go length ways, and the reason for straightening at around 10 degrees is so you are pushing the trailer into the gap so the cab has the room to straighten up. if not enough room then you have to improvise by using more forward passed the gap you want, and turning sooner rather than later.
Nice one mate! Appreciate the advice buddy!
When I first started class 1 I would sometimes pull in to a services only to find the most difficult spaces left....... I would drive off back onto the motorway to the next services (time allowing) it really is true one day it will just fall into place. But everybody still messes it up now and again.... love the vlogs buddy...best by far 👍😀
Im like that haha! Staying far away from services at the moment hahaha!
I found it much easier to get the window down and stick my head out to reverse when I was learning. Worked for me. We'll chuffed for you man.
Nice one mate :D
Great blog Deady, keep them coming. I've mentioned it before but will say it again, your blog has helped me keep my HGV licence on track. Since passing my Class 1 on the 21st Feb (and Class 2 2weeks before) I've managed to secure a job starting on the 9th March. Can't wait to get going but tricking it at the same time.
It's miles away from what I was doing for ths last 20 years but it feels like I am finally doing something I have wanted to for a long time so thanks for keeping me motivated to carry it through.
That sounds like me to be fair lol. I've wanted to do this all my life, finally i am doing it and i love it! Happy days mate! Smash it buddy :)
Passed my medical on Monday mate and hoping to be joining the HGV boys soon , glad your positive my man because it’s a risky choice , thanks for all your videos on the training as well , keep it up
Cheers mate. It's a fantastic job!
Loving how you show everything, you've already gone a long way from this video!
Keep the positivity going lad your doing a cracking job! Glad you are enjoying it mate!! Bad luck having a blowout on day 2 but these things happen fella 💪🏼
That’s actually a very good job for new passes, last thing you would want is to reverse upto a bay at a supermarket just after passing your test. Love the camera outside the truck. Great vlog as usual.
First video i watched of yours and great to see a driver that dont care admitting he cocks up i been driving artics a few yrs now and have bad days at reversing and still over stear it it will come to you and will get easier keep up the good work
Cheers mate :) I admit all my cock ups buddy, you learn fuck all from being perfect.
If you need to go back in a straight line, watch how much trailer side you can see in each mirror and whenever you see a difference pull the wheel to the corresponding side. If you see more right side then right hand down, left side, left hand down. Like anything, you have to think about it to start with but it won't be long before you don't even think about it.
Deady great video again mate. Keep at it and keep doing it and it will all fall into place for ya mate. Take ya time and keep trying.
Its all good in the hud mate 👍
Congratulations on getting your class one. Don't beat yourself up about anything or what people say the real learning starts from here.
just passed my class 1 yesterday! Been watching a few of your videos and the one when you found out you passed! I had the exact amount of excitement!
Bit of advice about reversing, once you hit the corner the start taking your lock off if you know what I mean. I was told that and believe me it was good advice.
Very good videos these, it's helpful to see it from a new passer perspective. I've got my class 1 driving assessment at red rose on Sunday. I'm like you, been doing class 2 work for the past 7 years
Good video deady got my first day driving class one on Monday after passing 2 week ago 45 foot curtain sider cant wait. 👍
Nice one mate :D Good Luck!
Haha In a few weeks you'll wonder what all the fuss was about, everything will click into place, but remember everydays a school day and you never stop learning
I hope so mate lol!
It will click just relax abit and practice every chance you have
, and good on Paul for giving new drivers a chance👍
I recently started supermarket work driving class 1, the training I had was very good. A lot of lads make it look very easy reversing and I thought I’m never going to be able to do it, 5 months on and I am getting there, it becomes second nature when you do it everyday .I’m the youngest one at my work and the most common observation is that new drivers put far too much lock on. I got told a little is a lot and that is very true. You seem to be doing well so far, keep up the good work 👍🏻
I agree buddy, i do put a lot of lock on! I;m going to try and take abit off next time :)
Ur the most honest person!. Wish you all the best my friend. Start my first class 1 job next week and im brickin it lol
Aye Ned Kelly what a G! Can't imagine how you're feeling this week!
Great video. Tricky reversing a trailer just practice practice practice. To took me a while to perfect it but I eventually got the hang of it as will you.
Nice to see you seem to have settled into class 1 Gareth.Hope it continues to go well for you, my friend.So happy to see you with all your enthusiasm back again, shame about the tyre, but these things happen to us all.Keep up the vlogs they really help me through the not so good day's mate,thanks. Stay safe & keep on truckin'.
Thanks a lot mate :)
Well done on passing and getting the job , good for you 👍🏻
Definitely my favourite truck vlogger and a top bloke. Real inspiration youll always be happier doing a job you love
Thanks a lot mate! Appreciate that!
Well done Deady, great vlog, you look like you're really enjoying the class 1 job, delighted for you.
I love it mate!
Top vlog Deady keep up the good work buddy and don't worry about the reversing it will just come naturally in the end and you will think to yourself what was I beating myself up about
really liking your videos mate! i have been driving coaches for last 20 years, and going to do my class 2 next week. so im hoping i pass the hazard and theory tests, driving a class 2 cant be much different to a coach im thinking.
This is so great to see as a newbie. Your showing everything which is so informative and is making your videos unique to you. Fantastic video.
Cheers mate. That's my aim, to show what it's really like.
Hi mate , thank you for tell everyone the good and the bad and for leaving it in the video , have a great weekend with the family and stay safe and drive carefully 👍👍👍
I’m 15 and my dad runs lorry’s. I can reverse them now but it just takes practice
Pls make a video
One of my favourite videos of yours till this day deady🤙🏻
Thanks bud
Welcome to the club mate, good to see ya moving forward with the driving career. You're spot on that people have gotta learn and all those out there that would say different are completely ignorant to the reality in manoeuvring a class 1 vehicle. It's intimidating at first and you'd be incredibly lucky to be whacking trailers in to spaces right away but give it some time and you'll find that you will be shunting less and less to hit that mark.
I hope so buddy lol!
Nice one :D
Hi Wrexham great to see your vlog...I passed my Class 1 30 yrs ago only drove for 6months not since I,d love to drive again ...hats off great news and good luck... Jez
Why you not driving buddy??
Reversing is hard to start mate... I learnt by saying to myself “left to bend, right to chase” turn steering wheel left to bend the trailer towards a bay, turn ya wheel right to chase your cab round!
You never stop learning when driving trucks. The 1s that seem to know everything are the 1s that you smile politely to and give them a new pack of crayons
Hahahaha!
congrats on the job mate dont worry about what others think of your reversing i passed around 10 months ago and i still struggle with reversing mate lol and your vlogs are awesome mate keep them coming
Cheers mate :)
Really love to see you doing well
Love it, great to watch real honest and down to earth. Start my HGV journey next week with medical.
Good luck buddy!!!
Well done lad been with your videos since you passed the class 2. Great to see the progression.
Nice one mate :)
Experienced Drivers do mes up with reversing. Even I have the odd reverse I mess up. When i start C1 I was wowed about the revers too, But the biggest advice I had, is to think you are stood in the direction you are reversing and to get use to how you’re traller handles Loded and unloaded. It is hard to explain but it will click just be steady and try not to other think it.
I may look at doing a vid on reversing. Possibly if I don’t mess it up 😂..
Good vid you look tobe enjoying it and seem to be doing well even though you are new👍👍
Cheers mate. I do love it buddy! Quality job, love my truck! Happy Days! :D
Best advice I was given for the reverse was it'll come lol. Also watched the Jason Walton vlog on reversing helped a lot, problem is he makes it look so bloody easy haha!!
GWARN DEADY LAD!!!! actually so proud of you!
Cheers buddy :D
We’ve all been their mate starting isn’t easy.... don’t worry about the reverse too much you’ll learn and realise it’s the easy bit at the end of the gauntlet!!
A true trucker will always be there to help you out in need 👍 ... good luck keep on trucking!!!!!!
Thanks for that
Good luck with it all dude, practise makes perfect I guess. I am currently training myself. Ned is a legend! :)))
Good luck buddy! :)
Good on you lad! The more you do it the easier it will get suppose. Glad your enjoying it 👍
All i want to say is already covered in the various comments here, so welcome to the world of tippers. Good luck and take care and lookout for overhead and overhanging obstructions when tipping. If you do hit an electric line remember never touch the ground and the wagon at the same time, either stay inside or jump clear. Great video Deady.
Thanks a lot mate! :D
Loved the video. Once I have done my class 1 tipper work is what I'd like to do just like this!
Good video, the reference to 5p, 50p made me laugh😂😂 take your time reversing, practice makes perfect! Even drivers that have been driving for years have off days and awkward reverses
Hello buddy great to see you passed Class 1, I just got through my Class 2 at 51! I build road sweepers and now have the big airport sweepers to build and test them at the Top Gear track in Dunsfold. So I now drive them between Dorking and Dunsfold. I’m thinking of doing th C+E just so I have it now the company paid for the rigid.
Go for it buddy :) It's awesome
nice one. reversing tips try reversing at walking pace slow and steady so you can make small corrections. I have been doing it 4 years and some times do depot to depot trunking and I have the good and bad days. but main job is Iceland store deliveries starting at 8m trailers up to 13.6m.
Congrats on the class 1, you very quickly became my favourite vlogger from when I started watching you, actually second favourite but only just, just behind Scott Andrew's 👍👍
Scotts the top dog mate! ;) Quality stuff from him!
Good to see you out in the artic. Use lines on the floor as clues for straightening things up
I’m enjoying ye vids and loling me head off and I’m also a perfectionist when comes to driving. I also made mistakes reversing in class 1. Safe travels 🚛💨💨💨😁
Great to see you out in a truck again.. a bendy one at that! Great video as always, a well deserved shout out from Ned!
Nice one mate ;)
Gareth if you don’t already go follow Jason Walton on CZcams, he’s got a couple of videos on reversing and on quite a few of his long videos he does a walkthrough of how he’s reversing the trailer wherever it needs to be, top bloke 👊
Sam Jacobs Fully agree. Top bloke is Jase!
Yeah i've watched a few haha! He meks it look so easy hahaha!
Yeah i've watched a few haha! He meks it look so easy hahaha!
Seriously underrated comment. I checked out his channel after reading Sam's post and his reversing tutorial is incredible. That man could be huge on CZcams especially with the combined tests coming in soon.
It's one thing memorising how to navigate some cones but a whole different ball game when you have to figure it out yourself in a tight yard that you've never been to before.
Hi mate I have been following you for a while now I'm doing the same thing took my class 2 in November and doing class 1 in August like you I enjoy the driving no matter what the vehicle is one of the things I enjoy about your videos is you are true to yourself and tell it like it is keep up the good work stay calm and the reversing will come to you
Thanks buddy :) Enjoy your Class 1 mate! It's AWESOME! Hahahaha! That feeling when you first get in a class 2 and you kind of go... "Holy Shit look at the size of it!" It's that feeling times 10 hahahaha! Its brilliant!
I had a Class 1 for 40+ years, it doesn't matter if you have to take a couple of shunts, different trailers react differently, just take your time, and you will start to put them places you never thought you could, good luck, keep the content coming.
Cheers mate :D
I wouldnt get frustrated with the reversing on your first day, it will come with practice. I've no experience at all in hgv but I do have alot of experience in tractors with large trailers, and I would say what I've learnt is position the trailer where your aiming to go and go straight as possible before you reverse. Keep the wheel straight and go back, only when the trailer starts to turn then you start to steer, but make small adjustments like 1/2 turns or 1/4 turns so you don't end up over compensating it. I see alot of people turn before they even start reversing, and they only end up with a kink in there straight line they created then totally over compensate and ended zig zagging everywhere to reverse where they need. Obviously on a 5th wheel your pivot point will be different but I use that principle with every trailer I use whether tractor or pickup. You'll get used to it before long!
Don't worry mate all in good time everyone of us have been where you are It will get easer trust 👍👍
Correct! We all start like that no need to worry
Good job mate keep it up the reversing will come to you eventually
Awesome bro well happy for you bet your glad you’ve done class 1.
Don’t worry about reversing it’ll get better 100% the more you do it the better you’ll get. I still struggle too lol. I watch Ned too 😂😂😂 he’s mad I love him. You’re right when you pass they teach you the basics of reversing that’s about it the rest is up to you. The company I trained with made a bay with cones for me to practice in I can get into a bay with 1 shunt now.
I promise you you will be reversing one handed like a pro in no time. Small adjustments it’s easier trust me even when going in a strait line 👍👍
Nice one buddy :)
Deady, them bays are the perfect place for trying that jackknife reverse I told you about, loads of room to play with, read it again it works, turn trailer right hand down till you can see through passenger window, point trailer then bring cab back, one thing! if you go to fast it will not work for anyone!
How do you do it again mate? Just refresh my memory if you will please..
@@Deady2012 Deady, A tip I used for a long time, if you gotta go blind and you have the room, jackknife the unit so you can see through the passenger window slowly turn the tail into the gap don't over steer, keep going back while getting parallel to what ever you have , wall fence kerb when it is stop for a second get ready to wiz the cab back in line with the trailer, slowly crawl back but turn wheel fast way hay back on two mirrors, it does work!
1 week ago
Well well well and that's the story of the three wells...🤣🤣.
Don't be winding yourself up about the reversing.. you seem to be doing grand..🙂🤠
gotta love a guy that admits his mistakes ... and to be fair it makes it more fun to watch thinking is he gonna make it or not lol
reversing is fun in a Class 1 my first ever solo reverse was a blindside up a hill through a gate and I shit myself I was at it about 30 mins but like everybody says it will just click one day you will be reversing like shit then all of a sudden you will be hitting that reverse first time everytime
good luck going forward dude :)
Its more than a little den Gareth !!! Its home ....for a lot . !!!! Keep going man . ..Everyone's rooting for you ...IRL ...jb
It's going to be my little man cave :)
My tip for that Bay 7 reverse would be not to blind it. There's plenty of room to drive parallel to it and then swing yourself round until your arse end is pointing at the bay. It's then just a straight reverse back. :)
Just a little tip when parked in a lay-by I always used to turn the front wheels to the left and if possible put the near side wheel on the footpath, then if a numpty should sideswipe you he will only get the trailer and not you 😎
I usually do Bro. Old vid this now lol
Well done Gareth on reaching 7000 subscribers and have a very good weekend and keep up good work you are doing.
Nice one mate :)
Don't worry about the reverse, it will come, I passed the reverse on the test, more by luck than judgement. My first bay reverse took 20 minutes, luckily through the agency I got in with a local company and the other drivers were really great, helped me every step of the way. The main things are, take your time, don't stress, you'll make it worse, a bit of lock on, a bit of lock off. Watch the wheels, they tell you what's happening. Oh and have fun 😊😊👍👍
Nice one buddy :D I hope i suss it sooner rather than later lol!
Well done again!!!
Took my first lesson in the class 1 Thursday straight lines all the way,got back to the yard and the instructor told me to back it up.
Probably just to see what he was dealing with but I got it back after a few attempts ..
Well done mate. Looking forward to seeing how it goes 👍
You and me both!
Fair play mate the reversing will come the worst thing you can do is fluster I've been driving class 1 for 30 years an still fuck up sometimes now you will be ok mate 👍👍👍
Great first vlog in the class 1 mate hope you do well in your new job keep up the good work and it will all come together mate be safe
Cheers buddy
Not long got my class 1 I currently do container work and this looks like work I wouldn't mind doing keep it up mate big inspiration to me
Nice one mate :)
The thing that took me the longest to get my head around once I passed my car test and then, later, pulling a caravan is that the whole thing pivots around the rearmost axle of the combination (actually, for the trailer you're pulling here, it would be the middle one of the three).
That's the bit you're going to be steering and that's the bit you need to put where you want to go. Everything else is just thinking ahead how you're going to position yourself, so as not to hit anything with the rest of the thing (which, obviously, you'll have to constantly verify during the manouver).
What people are saying is actually really good advice. Take it slow, pop it in a crawler gear (in the army we used terrain gears for practising reversing). You see, reversing an artic is a bit like balancing a broom on your hand: if you make sudden, fast movements it all gets exaggerated and you end up chasing it, unless you're very, very good.
Edit: 11:47 case in point. Too quick, far to quick... slow down. Experienced people are going to laugh at you for taking 5 stabs at it, not for getting it in one, but slightly slower than they can do it. And do you really think that dozer guy can reverse an artic quicker than you? -what's the rush?
Edit 2: also consider, being epic at reversing will add 0.00- GBP to your paycheck. A friend of mine is a train driver and is epic at hitting stopping marks on the platforms he frequents. He gets paid the same than the guys who can't hit the marks exactly to save their lives.
Very good points mate! All taken on board. I have realised by watching other drivers that i’m trying to do things really really quickly. I don’t know why that is, it seems to just be part of the habit. So i’m going to use crawler reverse from now on so that i can’t go fast. Cheers for your input mate!

practice makes perfect keep at it. most important is that everybody knows it better . ignore them make it youre own and you wil get it
Dont need to worry about the Reversing that is just going to come to you in time just keep going the way you are and you will get better and better
