You guys should do a video on how to get a job afterwards, it's easy to pass your test, getting the WORK is where the hard work begins especially for new drivers!
Your comment mace me feel blessed. I stay driving monday, starter off as a cashier, then supervisor now I'm a driver. I just worked hard and when the position opened up asked my boss if I can apply.
I know this comment is 2 years ol but things have really changed. I passed a few weeks ago and had multiple offers at £30,000 per year working 37 hours a week, not including over time. I was able to find this job due to the company I did my training with. There is a growing demand for Hgv drivers and the pay is only going to get better so of you're thinking about getting into it, I would seriously suggest it!
I have quite a good setup, if i pass all my tests and get my licence (netherlands btw) i get a 2 year contract with the company i learned with (they also pay for my licence)
Not in Edinburgh it's not! The trainer is a complete moron! I had to give up halfway through because I couldn't stand the guy! I went else where and passed first time!
Hmmm! It’s always better to pass Class C in a Manual truck over automatic. There is still plenty Class 2 manual vehicles out there and no use if you don’t know how to use your gears.
For me which I have done both, they are completely different jobs. One is haulage and the other is more or less distribution. Both are not the best jobs one can hold. Class 1 requires experience because it is more difficult to reverse, drive but mostly it is unforgiving. So, go to Class 2 first and then Class 1. But again, every job is different... Class 2 doesn't help in driving Class 1 later...
Just noticed the MPG Marathon award towards the end. Used to be my dads company (Ross). Ive got my Class 2 Test this friday been learning all week in a Scania 😉
Commercial Motor a bit unlucky the first time but back in again for it soon, its definitely not easy but highly worth learning. Thanks guys for asking 😉
In America the driver has to sit on the left side. While in Europe and India the driver has to sit on the right side. What is the country shown in this video?
Hi guys I live in West Sussex, Crawley. I am looking for any close by HGV scania driver driving learning Centre that I can do my practical exercises and test...I use one of the small company in this area they are shit no place to do reversing exercise, few trucks and its has problems all the time I end up wasting my learning hours and still not there to take my test...please guys always looks for big companies, most small onece are shit.....
I did my training last year with Scania Newbridge Edinburgh and I pay 1700£ for class2 +CPC than few months later class1 for about 1300£ but I failed first time this time as reversing artic can be a bit tricky in not stress free environment :-) and I extra pay 600£ for ree test.. Which also include 8h truck time plus 150£ test fee. Hope that helps. Now I am class1 driver on Ltd working between 8-12h a day earning about 650£/week.
Aaa wee update.... Now I am on about 750-900£/week on Ltd - every day at home. Don't work guys for less than 12£/h on class1 respect your time effort and hard work.
@@notoco1199 oddly enough I'm looking into getting my class 2/1 done n just seen your comments n cheers for the info! Been looking at jobs and needed a guide to whats normal/min wage to accept so yea cheerz lol
@@theghost1920 if you newly pass. You just need to build an experience so driving and getting in to it is most important. My first job was for 10£/h on payee container work class1 7-4 mon-friday. Now I drive delivering groceries to shops 12£ weekdays 13.5£/h nights till 6am 14.50£/h Saturday's 15£/h Sundays in 6days work that's around 800-900£ Ltd per week for 5days if I make 700£ I am OK but its still not the money they should pay for your skills dealing with breakdowns, police, Vosa etc job can be quite stressful specially if you new. Plus many agencies are rubbish. My friend is a tramper 5days/nights in a truck his rates are 12£/h weekdays, 14£/h weekends 25£ night out allowance on Ltd as well he make so many hours to build around 900-1000£/per week by you can calculate how hard he work to make that money. Good luck!!!!!
Hey is there any reason to why you chose auto over manual as you were going in there expecting to do manual??? Reason why im asking is im doing the same as you so id like your opinion on it please. Thanks
I wasn't actually given the option. Scania's training centre only has autos, as most modern trucks come with an auto 'box. The most important part is really getting the driving sorted and your spacial awareness, so to concentrate on doing gears is just an added confusion. I've since driven a manual truck and although it is harder, having already found the confidence to be able to drive (thanks to the auto) doing the manual gears became easier. I would plump for an auto if possible,but then try to gain some experience after you pass in a manual. Hope that helps.
kingtyson999 best tip I can give you is, when picking a training centre make sure you ask them does the truck run a 4 over 4 gear box with switch, if it doesn't have one of those gear boxes init DONT go with them. You will not be able to drive most class 2 trucks because your head will be fucked if you get a job at a company that runs them style gear boxes witch MOST company's run. If you learn in a 4 over 4 box with switch then you will be able to drive any style truck thrown at you because it's the hardest one to learn. This guy here is going to be a very low level hgv driver because he learnt in an automatic. You wouldn't take your car driving lessons and test in a automatic would you.
Privileged White Rabbit finding work is very hard and chances of you walking into a £500 a week job is very very slim unless you know the boss or something.
I find in my class 2 job going into a nice big! school carpark loads of space put it anywhere no problem. you start offloding. pikking out a frezzer in winter for 20min! get papperwork sined come out school carpark full of cars no proble we can work round that street full of cars with dum shit pernt parking outside the car park. o ye thay dont know what tail swing is but thats ok thay will be back in a min! WHY THE FUCK DID I EVER THINK THIS WAS A GOOD IDEAR! scerd my kid the uther day she forgot who i was on my day off!
Just watch your video . It's a complete stunts video. It's All about me making a video hearing your own voice and looking at yourself. Do you sincerely think you taught any new comers!!!!
I did my training through Scania in Widnes with the instructor Mike. Passed with a clean sheet and loved the whole experience! :D
Good effort. I passed my 5 day course Class One end of day 4. Piss up that night. Drove back to Plymouth on day 5, Friday (sober)...!
Did my training in 2 days, 14 hrs 1:1 training, day 3 test - passed with 1 minor.

done my training with scania highly recommended the two brothers are great instructors!!
I couldn't recommend them highly enough, and their approach to teaching different people of differing abilities is incredible.

NEVER DO YOUR TRAINING IN AN AUTOMATIC!
All you can do it in these days!
Theweescot I’m doing one now, that’s a manual
Hey is there any reason to why you chose auto over manual as you were going in there expecting to do manual??? Reason why im asking is im doing the same as you so id like your opinion on it please. Thanks

That's simply not true. Trucks come as standard with auto gear boxes so a manual is rare!
You didn’t tell about ruleas regulation, safety of driving . You tell these things
He is guiding of how to operate and that's enough, the rules is not include, you are demanding, just watch and be learn.
(Learn to drive )!!!!! this suppose to be something to teach us how to drive a truck not just talking!!!!
only way to learn to drive a truck is to drive a truck, not watch a video,
Video not supportive.
an add every 2 min... this is getting ridiculous.
