It would make sense,if they have dedicated buttons-work, break, so when working you just press one button and same with rest/ break.

Just passed my CatC 2 days ago so this is brilliant... any chance of doing some reversing clips, showing loading bays, building site entrances or reverse parking with wee tips on where to position back wheels etc...not looking forward to my 1st lgv reverse while hogging both lanes and the world watching 😳🙈 can't believe you can pass a test coz you can reverse between 2 cones, box ticked, move on 🙄.

Hi Joe! I never commented before but I watched all of your videos and it helped me a lot to understand taxi/ ph trade . I am currently in construction jobs all around UK but this summer I want to change job to be ph driver in Liverpool to spend more time at home with my kid and wife. Also to be flexibile with job so that my wife can get job as well. When I heard you left taxis I could not learn two days as I am in process to get my ph licence in Antrec bootle . So my question is : what you think what is better for me to work for alpha or delta taxis if I live in Wavertreee area?? Also how long will it take to learn the job / streets etc. I use to work as a bus driver for stagecoach in Livepool for 6 years I am familiar with areas and some pubs hehe also major hotels and points of interest etc . Many thanks in advance , Dusan

Hello does the taco change automatically to drive when you move off ? Or is it always manually switched over ? Many thanks 👍🏻

@raithrover1976 9 ай бұрын

Yes, it automatically toggles between driving and other work. Just be careful when you turn off the ignition as many tachos automatically switch to break and you have to manually toggle to other work before you jump out the cab.

Had a couple of conversations about this I like 15 minutes but I spoke to a transport manager and he said as long as it takes so I said 5 minutes he said if it takes 5 minutes then that's all you need, how in depth is your walk around sheet? In bestway it's 10 questions 😂 lights, body work, tyres, tail lift, millage, horn, wipers, oil, water and clean cab I actually check more than that because it's my license on the line............... Long story short 10 minutes should be fine 👍
