DIDO.1 22,661 Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 I got class 2. Did a bit of relief work when I first passed, been handy to have if Iv need to borrow a 7.5t but bollocks to doing it for a living for minimum wage. I only got it as I thought it would be handy over the years or if I had a quiet period....now with CPC it's worth nothing to me as a stop gap. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
