    Sorry about the delay in the release of the vlog guys but I'm back editing the vlogs, with working nights its going to take a bit more time to edit than usual

    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

    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 😎🤞

    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
