Companies That Give New Drivers A Chance


Good morning all, hope this day finds you well. Wet and miserable here in West Wales. Anyhow, to the point!

I want to start compiling a list to put on this blog of companies who will give new drivers a chance, as anyone who has tried to get their first driving job knows the ‘no experience’ trap is common. So basically I want to hear from companies that you know FOR A FACT employ new drivers. I don’t want any of it to be dud info so please only companies you know the facts about. I will try and check up on them too. Also if you have a name and email / number for someone at said company that would be very helpful too.

So what I want is ‘do they take on new passes/no experience’ drivers? Do they have any age restrictions, i.e ‘over 25’? If yes to newly qualified what sort of work do they do, what trucks they have (rigid/artic etc), if they train new drivers (I.e send them out with an experienced driver first), their location and if they have any depots and anything else you think useful.

Fact is this industry is literally dying, the average age of a driver is over 50 and that’s horrendously unsustainable. We are desperate for more young drivers and as you know I’ve always been very passionate about this subject. So feel free to comment here, don’t need to sign in and can be anonymous or

In meantime enjoy the picture of a loud old lady still working hard. I love oldies like this, good condition but very much working condition rather than a show pony!

#TopTips: WTD & EU Drivers Hours

Hullo! So boom, after years of procrastination I finally have a drivers hours video! I’ve tried to simplify it and make it more of a chat than me droning on from a script and I think it’s turned out well. In the description all the chapters are marked so in future you can just skip straight to a point you may need reminding of. Would be great if you can share as much as possible, I know it’s 38 minutes but the legal aspect is only the first 18 minutes, the rest is dispelling the many myths about drivers hours that go around. Don’t forget my email is ALWAYS OPEN if you need advice or some clarification. If I can’t answer I’ll know someone who can. Also if after 24 hours I’ve not replied please email me again with REMINDER in capitals in description, some emails so fall through the cracks in my non existent filing system! So yes email and remember you are never bothering me and I’m always happy to help if I can. luke@lorry-driver.com It’s made me realise I love everything about teaching ...

SAVE BERTIE

Friends, disturbing news. When I woke up this morning Bertie was gone. I tried ringing but he left his phone in the lorry. Then, just now, I got this disturbing picture. It seems Jason from Chrome Northwest has kidnapped him. Basically unless www.facebook.com/chromenorthwest gets over the 2,000 like hurdle by the end of the day it will be the end of Bertie! Nooooooooo! So quick, LIKE NOW ONWARD!
