  • today marks my 10th shift with this driver agency, hopefully this vlog provides a small insight into the different type of work an agency may give you, as well as what day to day life is like for a driver. I give my personal opinions on what its like tips and hints ect.
    PLEASE NOTE BY NO MEANS AM I RIGHT OR WRONG THIS IS JUST MY OPINION AND HOW I LIKE TO DO THINGS MY VERY OWN WAY.

      I had my class 1 test last week. Good luck. Just take your time, listen to the examiner, check your mirrors loads. They want you to pass, so just drive safely. They just want ti make sure you are a SAFE driver. Best of luck!!

    i'm really enjoying your vlogs since youve began LGV driving. I'm hoping to do the same by August but struggling due to availability of a test. Certainly find your agency point around type of work for experience is a valid one.

      Yer covid still has some impact on the availability for testing I hear … and yes mate find out what you like don’t like get some experience make thoes mistakes that are naturally going to occur then go for a good job and get contracted hrs for a good rate 👍🏾.

    hi mate I am a new class 1 had my licence about 4 months. the agency pay me really good money but do I stay or do I get a proper job? I am goin for a mortgage the end of the year I don't think I would get one being with a agency? any advice guys.

    • @TRUCKERKEV
      @TRUCKERKEV  Před 2 lety +1

      I'm not too sure regarding mortgages.... however 4 months class 1 experience might be good enough to squeeze you into some decent jobs, a lot of them ask for 2yrs but there are some that will take you on for sure. its a tough one for sure buddy hopefully you get what you want out of it in months to come !!!

    Having done so many RDC type drops the lesson is always, ask. Upon entry at gates, at transport office in yard and yardies such as Shunters have always been so very, very helpful.....mind you, some of the drivers ....wow, they're blame everyone at RDCs for all their woes....you know, the type who really hate who they see in every mirror! Always, with B&Q RDC the best, facilities although DHL drivers canteen beats all for low cost high quality scran.
