Because you didn't ask me by PM you plank - and no, it'll be an RF900 I've just finished building

Anyway, stop broadcasting it.

Let's keep it personal and via PM's OK ?

Stately, don't you think that this sort of behaviour is a bit extreme???

But, if you are going to insist on spending a week researching this to make a point - remember that the issue was whether 17 years ago would a company have employed a 21 year driver or would insurance costs have made this prohibitive - so there wont be much point researching the current position with companies employing 21 year olds..

Wow That's an amazing job you've done there. Why did it need rebuilding. You smash it up again.

Actually I have seen you around on it with you mates and I even took a photo of you.

I bought it as a write off.

It's been a year of hard work, re-building it from the ground up, sourcing used parts etc. but the end result was worth it.

You see Blue it's something us bikers do, the mechanical stuff, which I doubt is something you're capable of

I bet your Firestrom goes back to the shop just for an oil change

I am fully aware that 22 years old is an age at which a driver can qualify, and work in the industry.

What I'm questioning is weather or not a company would employ drivers at such a young age for this kind of work, but hey, I don;t know but you can be sure that by the end of next week I will because I'm going to be doing a lot of research on this

Like i said, you might want to take a look here http://www.skillsforlogistics.org/en/in ... ining/yds/
If there was no market for drivers in this age group then why bother getting a government backed scheme to provide drivers in this age group. Also the age at which a driver can qualify is 21 for Classes C and C+E and 18 for class C1 and C1+E so your awareness isn't as full as you would like to think. Personally if i had a tractor unit and trailer loaded and waiting to go and the only option was to send out a newly qualified young driver then you have to make the choice leave it parked up and lose money and perhaps customers or send it and i would send it everytime. Keeping the customer happy is the only thing that matters in the haulage business.........

Well so far I've phoned three haulage companies asking about opportunities for recently qualified drivers and in all three cases the answer has been no, they won't employ because of age and lack of experience.

My research is ongoing and I will post up the results, with proof of course, once I am satisfied that I have enough to prove the point.

4 and a half years, £ and a half of those as a learner

I've just phoned 3 companies and been told yes they would employ me
