So, back to the studying

Hello chums. I hope this cold brisk morning finds you well. This week marked the beginning of the second year of my law degree and many months of hard work now stretch ahead of me. Someone asked me if it was enjoyable and I said I'm not sure if it's actually enjoyable but it's immensely satisfying and rewarding. With the Open University you have about 16 hours of study a week. They tell you to make up a planner and plan when you are going to study and how long for etc. I can't do that since my job is so unpredictable, like most other lorry drivers jobs, so I just have to have the books to hand ready to get studying when I've a spare hour of so. I do a fair bit during the week but most I do on my weekly rests. If anyone is thinking of doing an OU course I'd say go for it. They are very well made, you progress logically and the support from your tutor and the OU is brilliant. If I can do it anyone can.

Anyhow part of this message is to let you know there will be a slight slowdown in video production like there was last year but I'm going to try and keep up posting on the blog with pictures and stuff at least once or twice a week. In this picture Bertie is helping me with some definitions of legal terminology.

ONWARD...

The Flexibility of In-House Training, Without The Cost

I offer you all the advantages of having an in house trainer without the cost or commitment. I will quote for your business based on how many drivers will need training over the course of a year, then you or your drivers can simply contact me when they wish to attend one of my online timetabled courses, taking away all the stress of trying to arrange up to 20 drivers to sit a course on the same day, much more flexible for your business and I take all the stress out of it. Let’s face it running a transport company is stress enough! I run daytime, evening and weekend courses, times to suit everyone. I also find this method is much more popular with the drivers. I am however also happy to quote for your online or in person courses, up to 20 at a time at times and dates to suit you at any location. Everyone who attends my courses and your office staff will be given my contact details and told I’m available at any time to help and advise as required. I’m always here to help customers, basic...

#MyTopThree: Countries. 1. IRELAND

So if you have thought about what #MyTopThree Countries much I dare say you’ll find number one inevitable. So yes, Ireland! I feel I should remind you this is a top 3 based on overall experience, not just driving. Though it has a terrible reputation for bad roads the road network is unrecognisable compared to just 20/25 years ago and bad roads are becoming ever fewer and further between. My first taste of Ireland was when Dad started working for Nolans in the late 90’s who were at the time one of ‘South Wales’ biggest employers of drivers. Back then the roads were horrendous and you had to make sure everything was strapped down, in the cab as well as the trailer! Nolan’s gets a lot of bad said about it but like most things a lot is not really true. Yes they were plain speakers, yes you ran day and night but no one ever went there for an easy time. Fact is they were/are well run and like most of Ireland’s transport sector a family firm where you’re more like to see the boss in overalls ...
