Does anybody know of anywhere that would be willing to give a newly qualified class 1 driver a chance in the Shropshire area please? My husband has recently qualified and my work are now making me redundant so could really do with finding him some work any help would be appreciated as so far all recruitment agencies he's spoken to have said no chance without experience but I just don't understand how you get experience without someone being willing to give you a chance to begin with thanks all!

In all fairness he has more chance driving around the small firms face to face or phoning larger firms and asking to speak directly with transport…indeed and the likes get that many responses ya pi55ing in the wind.
Good luck to him
Good luck to him
Re: Does anybody know of anywhere that would be willing to give a newly qualified class 1 driver a chance in the
thank you, appreciate the advice. Think it will be a case of driving around asking anyone who'll listen
Re: Does anybody know of anywhere that would be willing to give a newly qualified class 1 driver a chance in the
most firms will…shows he’s willing.
Even down to chucking a free shift in to show ya can do the job works wonders…think I did a weekend for nothing when I first started to get a foot in the door, not the end of the world.

Oh that's great advise actually! Hadn't thought of that, absolutely not the end of the world if it helps get him into a job, thank you!Alectiso wrote: ↑Thu Feb 02, 2023 1:59 pmmost firms will…shows he’s willing.

Try Edwards transport or Shropshire express, or Williams transport, may take on new passes but it's worth a shot.

Agencies are where you go with no experience. A lot say 12m on license so you shelve driving for 12m as apparently they much prefer you to have forgotten what you learned than be fresh with it and ready to make it stick.
Re: Does anybody know of anywhere that would be willing to give a newly qualified class 1 driver a chance in the
that's what I had thought, go with an agency, do whatever you have to for a year or so to get the experience and then move on.. but after speaking to as many as we could find apparently even they won't touch you. Absolute madness after how much you spend getting your license and all of the hoops you have to jump through to get it
Re: Does anybody know of anywhere that would be willing to give a newly qualified class 1 driver a chance in the
Had the same for my first year. Some will, though. Others have insurance policy issues.Laurenda wrote: ↑Thu Feb 02, 2023 2:01 pmthat's what I had thought, go with an agency, do whatever you have to for a year or so to get the experience and then move on.. but after speaking to as many as we could find apparently even they won't touch you.

Had a few tell me "When you hit 1 year post test, we can use you" - and did. Did an induction via email then walked into a transport office and had a set of keys handed to me as well as a postcode "Grab an empty trailer and take it there. They'll tell you which trailer to pick up"
Local shit agencies might be the best option as they don't self insure. Money will be crap, but a few weeks doing it for real makes going direct to local firms much easier as an active driver vs a fresh pass who has never driven one without an instructor.

Try pentons haulage. Always willing to give drivers a chance
Re: Does anybody know of anywhere that would be willing to give a newly qualified class 1 driver a chance in the
Try Dale Brothers in Telford.
Re: Does anybody know of anywhere that would be willing to give a newly qualified class 1 driver a chance in the
Penton or try the smaller firms. Also hit the quarries- as Shropshire is well blest in that department. You could be more specific area wise - as its a long way from say Market Drayton to Ludlow.
Re: Does anybody know of anywhere that would be willing to give a newly qualified class 1 driver a chance in the
we're in Shrewsbury but happy to travel if needs be. thank you so much for the suggestions
Re: Does anybody know of anywhere that would be willing to give a newly qualified class 1 driver a chance in the
He could also try class 2, get a foot in the door that way, .... Good luck.
Re: Does anybody know of anywhere that would be willing to give a newly qualified class 1 driver a chance in the
maybe find a place before you get the training..
Re: Does anybody know of anywhere that would be willing to give a newly qualified class 1 driver a chance in the
I found a local firm, paid for the licence. Now have a job.
If nothings local save yourself a few grand
Re: Does anybody know of anywhere that would be willing to give a newly qualified class 1 driver a chance in the
I have had a look at the group but no posts were in our area so thought it was worth asking in case anybody could suggest local companies that we hadn't thought of.Nathan4ce wrote: ↑Thu Feb 02, 2023 2:08 pmI found a local firm, paid for the licence. Now have a job.

There are very few companies that will start a new driver. Akw are one that does. They are based Trafford park Manchester but have a depot in Birmingham
Re: Does anybody know of anywhere that would be willing to give a newly qualified class 1 driver a chance in the
You have no chance this time of year, i haven't had any work in 3 weeks and I've been doing it years, and every company I've called direct all tell me same thing, they're quiet and not taking anyone on
Re: Does anybody know of anywhere that would be willing to give a newly qualified class 1 driver a chance in the
The big firms take on new passes as they send them out for a week with a buddy first or the driver trainer. Not sure of any local to you but look for the big companies
Re: Does anybody know of anywhere that would be willing to give a newly qualified class 1 driver a chance in the
Try Ningbo at Wrexham (A525 from Whitchurch to Wrexham. Its not far from you at all). They have a history of starting new drivers.
