sorry for the delay in replying

was just upstairs packing!!!!! man this country has gone down the tubes,, made redundant 2 weeks from xmas, no pay off why stay????

ps is it true that Challenger are looking for drivers and paying wages from the moment you start with them? ie they put you through the re training process and even pay a wage??? seems unlikely but?? if its true then... I would expect to be tied into a contract but hey it keeps the costs down

Not sure..... I think Berkyboy as just started with them .. Personally I would pay for my own training rather than be tied to a contract, Then if things go wrong you can jump ship easier.

Email a few companies in the link Gremmie gave you and see what sort of answers you get

Quite right Gremble. Everyone should use the flying j and keep those lovely tanker drivers in work.
From this day forth, KB33 shall be known as HTH.
Scooby-doo, good luck. It'll be worth the hassle. Leave that bloody scrappy at home.
Dave, shut up. I tried reading about n-bits & m-strings but got a headache and couldn't be arsed.
