Hello. I am new here and would like to introduce myself first. My name is Martin, I am 23 years old and until recently was a soldier at the Bundeswehr. There I made my CE – Schein (2005) and the ADR – Schein (2006). Since I have already noticed that I was driving the truck somehow and also very much liked I was mostly used as a driver and thus I drove already MB 1017 limb train, MAN 10to gl and 7to gl incl. Sprinter etc.. before the decision is made what I want to do in the future I have thought about becoming a driver. I know that I will like the profession, because I know it from my two uncles, where one owns a freight forwarder and the other also for more than 20 years “sit on the bock”. I am absolutely truck-hidden, because every time I think about driving with a truck my heart beats higher. Sounds funny, but is so also the “negative professional image” is m Anyway, I want to drive trucks out of conviction. I was scared to find that the company is driving international long distance traffic 1300 € gross + expenses. That’s not really much or. I also read partly 1100 €. That you don’t get rich is clear to me and it’s also about making it a pleasure to practice this profession, but I didn’t want to gnaw at the hungry cloth Now I noticed that it’s hard to get a foothold as a “cross-starter”. I can understand that, because I don’t really have the idea of new trucks and I never had anything else to do with “paper stuff”. However, I think that I am very willing to learn and understand technical things quickly and can also implement them very quickly I think that I will not have any problems to bring full performance after a short training. Many companies unfortunately want people with professional practice, which I don’t have so, even though I already have 3 years of trucks (mainly MAN 7to gl and MB1017) at the Bund danger I think it was 20tkm. Now my request to you: Can you give me tips or even just good advice, how I can get a foothold as a cross-starter? I know that there are a lot of “old rabbits” here, can you help me? A little help would be quite enough for me, but I’m beginning to really despair.
