Hi all
I have 18 years experience on class 2 I have passed my class 1 in last October.
I am looking for class 1 jobs however every company needs at least 6 months experience.
Will my 18 years in class 2 be accepted?
I have offered a shunter job but I am also not sure if shunter job counts as a class 1 experience?

Call the companies and ask mate, don't just apply for advertised jobs.

Depends on the company. Some will consider any commercial driving experience, others want specifically class 1.
Shunter experience will be good experience for yourself but again, will depend on the company as to whether they'll accept it as class 1 driving experience.
Either way, any experience is good experience and will help somewhere.

Take it as the employer may allow you to transfer over to class 1 but its a foot in the door

Well the way you should look at it... is you have 18 years of HGV road experience, which IMHO is more valuable.

Shunting would be good experience. You’ll be the best you can be at reversing once you get out on the road. My opinion 👍
