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!

TRUCK HATING BRITAIN (& TESCO)!

Hello chums. Sorry for the delay in videos, part 6 of the eastern European fandango will be up next week. Inspired partly by the Commercial Motor sticker pictured and my own experiences this is a post about the UKs dislike of trucks. I'll start with a story about a run in I had with Tesco Store security at their Lakeside Extra store last night.... As many of you know I like to do all my own cooking and therefore need to shop in supermarkets to purchase this food! There are almost no supermarkets in the UK that have the luxury of truck parking (Tesco Ipswich being a rare exception) so I try and shop at stores where I can park causing the minimum of obstruction. One of these stores is Tesco Lakeside Extra. Many times I've parked in the service road for 30/40 minutes to get a spot of shopping. So last night my fridge was empty so I did just that. I spent £40 in the store between 18.05 and 18.35. When I got back to my lorry, which wasn't causing any problems whatsoever, a secur...
