    I appreciate any more tips you have, mate. I'm doing my hgv training with a supermarket and will stay with them for a while. I think it's a good stepping stone for myself

    Hiya Chris. I've just passed my test. What type of work is this. Is it just driving to one location from your depot and then back. Sounds like a job i wouldn't mind doing as a newbie

    I've got my class 1 and 2 lesseons over 8 days up in Prestwick. Hopefully all goes well and I learn quickly. I am nervous for this whereas my car test I wasn't the least bit worried. Passed my car theory and practical in January and I got I've just passed my lorry theory now on for lessons in February and test. If I pass this and get a job next step will be the big bike test. Will be cool to drive almost anything some time mid 2023 😎🤞

    This video was excellent. This type of work would suit me especially with the kips. Are there any companies that are better for this and do all nights have a sleep system?

    Can I ask, which truck sat NAV do you use and do you have a link for where I could purchase one.

      @BIGChris  3 года назад +2

      Hi Rob the sat Nav I use is the “Garmin fleet 670” But I’ve had it a while, any Garmin truck with a descent dive screen would suffice mate
