Tom Goulstone took his class 2 training this week. He left it a little late in the day but he passed his case studies mod 2 test on Thursday. We arranged for Tom to complete his mod 4 training during the week on the premise that if he passed his case studies test, we could sort the mod 4 CPC straight after his driving test. So along with the driver training in our new Renault Premium, we trained for the mod 4 and Tom was all clued up ready for todays test. All we needed was s

Truck School were able to find a test and we arranged mod 4 training to suit. However, this morning, when we were doing other lorry things, we had a call from DVSA to see if we could pull the test forwards by a couple of hours. This meant Dale would need to get in quickly! Dale arrived and
