air-brake course

a new driver came to the hotel on friday,graham.he is from macclesfield.we had a few drinks in the bar,and we are both on the course saturday.
did the air-brake course yesterday,and passed.thats the first hurdle out the way.couldnt get over the size of the industrial estate the training school was on,it was massive.
the guy that took it was great,he was a good laugh.it was a long day,but hey,the result is the one i wanted.
so,today,sunday.is a day off.tomorrow,we get picked up in the morning.taken to get an insurance number,open a bank account,have another medical,and go and meet the boss.we dont actually start driver training until wednesday.looking forward to that.the only thing im not looking forward to is the truck we are using has a crash box,and i hate them.
anyway,ill keep you all up-dated.by the way,the weather is still lovely and warm.im making the most of it,as the winter will soon be here

  5. Good luck mate,
    Be smooth, you'll get the hang of a crash box soon enough. Once your test is over you'll hardly use the clutch once its rolling.

    I'll be very interested to see how you get on. Keep it safe.
