My journey to becoming a truckie started when I booked my driving lessons with Allan at NCHVDT in Lismore. Now a “seasoned” truckie with over 6000 hours experience driving road trains in WA’s remote Pilbara, I know from experience how important it is – particularly for us gals - to find a driving instructor who makes us feel comfortable asking ALL the questions we have! To have an instructor take this process one step further by DEMONSTRATING my questions was absolute gold as I like to see how things work - rather than just listen to theory. On that basis alone Allan and NCHVDT tick ALL the boxes.
I never liked trucks growing up and never thought I would ever be driving one. I was not confident I could do it. But Allan's calm, cool, positive and reassuring attitude towards training me kept me moving forward. on my first day of training, if I could get it wrong I did, but Allan's calm approach talked me through until I had it all under control and passed my FAC.
Sorry Allan, for giving 5th gear a hard time. I'm sure I can do it all safely now, only because of your approach to teaching me.
Thank you so much.
