Not much difference, obviously longer so beware of the rear over-hang, especially if driving the newer 31 york capacity vehicles. Turning circle is crap on the 17t too. Just take a bit more care & a drive a little slower than the 7.5t

Is this at Manchester Mail Centre? My husband applied for that, he's a postie currently, but recruitment phoned him to say they were having to withdraw his application as it's only fixed term and he is on a perm contract. Annoying!

The ADC should take you out and familiarise you with 17t lorry and obviously if you don't know the layout of a DO always get out and look. Also if not sure speak to Rep & Management
