Van Training

[trooper13]

Hello :)
I have got myself a job as a postman with my local office. I had a phone call today saying I have my van training the day after my induction. I'm a bit nervous as my friend said it is basically a test. I have never driven a van before so I am worried if I fail the test, my job goes up in smoke. I know I can easily drive a van, I just don't like tests haha. Any advice would be great.

P.S. By van I mean a little van, not one of the big lorry type vans.

Don't worry about it its not a test, its an assessment on your risk. Unless they think you are a very high risk and shouldn't be on the road then you'll be okay. Check the rest of the forum for "Changeover" (its what we call it in the job) and that will give you an idea. http://www.royalmailchat.co.uk/community/search.php" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
