I bow down to you all hgv drivers.

Well done for trying mate, I remember feeling like that when I first had a go. It really does just click eventually but it is a long road of running out of patience.
Leave it a week or two & then see how you feel after that, don't just give up on your first hurdle if its something that you really want to do.
NiceBlueWellies:
Well done for trying. I would recommend finding a haulage comany that you could work for, doing lighter stuff and work your way up the ladder there. When they have confidence in you and your ability, they are more open to paying for the training and tests. ;)

Thanks everyone for the kind words.
I think maybe if I could have relaxed more it would have been more fun and easier. Trying to do that stupid shuffle steer again is just crazyness in a lorry with very light steering.
I have 2 years until my theory test runs out so plenty of time. also finding out about the new cpc 37hour testing every 5 years is putting me off as well as that is guaranteed vast expense every year. Not something appealing to me.
Sorry for the very negative posts today, but reading your kind words does put a smile on my face brielfy as you are all so kind. :clap:
Terranger:
Sorry to hear your dreams were shattered mate.
I had the luck to be brought up in a family where transport was our bread and butter; My Grandad had taxis and my Dad and Uncle had a haulage firm, so, I had the uncanny ability to master driving at a young age, and drove artics at 12yrs old.
Glad to see someone has had the insight into the cab, and seen what we, as drivers have to cope with.
Chin up mate, I hope you find some way of fulfilling your dream in the future though.

as everyone else says dont give up try and calm down before lessons and keep checking those mirrors,by the end of the third day it will all become clear.Good luck :) :) :)
