This adds up when I went to driving school the amount of young people who were learning to drive trucks than a regular car was insane I was the only one doing code B. I think it's easier for them to get a job being truck drivers but still need more experience

Lord have mercy.

I hope he has a valid driver's license and experience.

I drove trucks (40 tonnes) when I was 19, I am now 80 years old. If you are properly trained, it is not a problem.
