“Great Fun!”
I drove Optimus, which was fun! My instructor, Chris, was great and put me at ease straight away. Turns out we’re from the same town! It’s a shame the photographer had injured herself that day; I hope she recovered fully. I’d recommend the experience fully.

“ Mrs”
Chris the tutor was wonderful and so patient. A wonderful experience to have as a memory. Chris is an absolute asset to the whole trucking experience. What a nice guy. Would like the trucking experience again but on a fast track.
“Best Fun with a great teacher”
Moving on into a veteran category, the Truck Driving experience was one off my Bucket list. Organisation could be improved but when getting into the cab it all made up for any previous short comings. I had the opportunity to take the truck through it's paces (including reversing round the circuit in Northampton. My instructor was superb explaining what I had to do and how all with a smile on his face and friendly chat. He made the experience special for me
