Summary
I have been a Plant Operator for almost 3 years with limited experience in HGV driving. I have only worked on Military sites with mainly class 2 with and without a trailer, I have no commercial driving experience but I am used to long hours and being away from home it is no issue for me. I am determined to learn and happy to do any training needed and take any advice am I given as I know I have a lot to learn.
