Get ready for my new car flex. Behold, a Renault Twingo. Yep, I've replaced my van with a small French car. Not much of a flex is it? Or is it? Mmm. Ha ha.

Another journey has come to an end today, and as a result, here is Oleg proudly showing off his C+E pass certificate and his Mod 4 certificate. So a massive well done Oleg, our perseverance has paid off and you have achieved your goals.

There are always barriers in the way that need to be overcome to achieve your goals, and finding a way through them can sometimes be quite challenging for both student and instructor. The biggest one here was language. Although Oleg speaks English quite well, sometimes the finer details of what I was asking of him were lost in translation. Google translate and my primitive form of sign language seems to have done the trick.

Whatever barriers we come across, I will never give up and always try my best to get us through. These are the passes that I find the most rewarding, the ones that make me get all my tools of the trade out. Afterwards though, I usually need a really long sleep. 😂

A first time pass with no advisories today. Daftny has done it again, a fresh MOT ready for another year of driver training. In fact, every MOT whilst in our ownership has been a first time pass with no advisories. All thanks to our son Jake Beardon and Howsam Services.

For HGV drivier training in arguably the best looked after truck in training, get in touch.

Who's got that Friday feeling? I know I have, and Andy definitely has having just passed his C+E licence, at the first attempt, and car to artic too. So a huge well done to him and all the best with your next chapter. He's even gone and left me a review already, so thank you very much for that Andy.

I've said it before, reviews are a really important part of the decision making process for future students, so I really do appreciate receiving them.

If you are looking for a HGV training provider, please get in touch to start your journey.

What's going on here then? Well, just a few short weeks ago, the DVSA authorised LUT to to carry out 3a tests (Reversing manoeuvre) for all categories of HGV. So, this is me carrying out my first 3a test as LUT. I used to do these for my previous employer, so it's not new to me. But a nice milestone doing them myself.

In other news, we are picking up the replacement for the van on Saturday. There's about as much room in the boot for a bag of Haribo, but thats fine, as I luuurve Haribo.

The van that got me sacked, the first vehicle to join LUT, get stickered up and get an LUT plate is moving on. I wouldn't normally get emotionally attached to a van, but I am a bit and will be sad to see it go.
If you want to know how it got me sacked though, read on.
Summer 2022 is when we got the van as my commuter to work and a taxi for the pooches, Poppy and Juno. Feb 2023 is when I handed my notice in, I was fully transparent telling them that I was setting up on my own as an HGV training provider. A couple of weeks into my notice period, I had the van stickered up to advertise our new venture and carried on using it to get to work. My boss at the time got wind of it and subsequently flipped out in her typical style and and sacked me over Teams for gross misconduct. There is a fair bit more to this story which is really quite amusing. I was happy with this as I had so much still to do to get LUT off the ground and carrying out HGV driver training for someone else was just a massive inconvenience for me. Plus, no longer having to deal with the corporate BS that comes with working for people, or person that have never delivered driver training, but think they know it all was good. So off I went, never to look back. The best move I've ever made work wise.
But, sad to see the van go.

I often ask students how they found me, but more importantly, why they chose me. Most say that they made the decision to use me after reading some of my reviews. It's a really important part of that decision making process and gives potential students confidence when booking, that they are going to get a good service. Receiving positive reviews helps me keep busy, it also makes me warm and fuzzy inside when I read them. So a massive thank you to anyone that has left me a review.

Reviews can be read on Facebook and Google Maps, so if you are currently thinking about who to use for your HGV driver training, please have a look.

Here's a Tuesday top tip. When following your Sat Nav in your truck, if you don't like the look of the road it's trying to send you down, don't do it. Today, Google Maps sent us a few miles down a gravel track to be met by a padlocked gate. I like an adventure, so off we went. Our poor hire car wasnt impressed, neither were my passengers as I embraced my inner rally driver. 😂

Here's my Sunday photo dump. A busy 3 days followed by getting on one of those flying things. Don't look at the photos if you're a vegetarian. Ha. Thanks to GD Proglaze for fitting a new windscreen to Daftny. Well done again to Rob on his Cat C pass.
Still get in touch for any HGV driver training enquiries, I will still reply, unless I'm in the pool.

Here's Rob from Motorcraft Adventure Developments who has today passed his Cat C licence at the first attempt. So a massive well done to him, and thank you to Motorcraft for their continued custom.
Take a look at their page, they make go anywhere vehicles that you can live in, perfect for the impending apocalypse.
I'm off on holiday now, if you need me, I'll be in Crete.
