    isn't not clutching what's called "floating" on here? (i'm guessing a lot of the terms on here are not so much used in australia) when i was delivering the tractors, one of the young fellow there told me about changing up without clutching. i practiced til i could go all the way from 1st to 8th without using the clutch. learning how to double clutch and change non synchro, then learning how to shift without the clutch gives you a better instinct for using the clutch, if that makes sense.

    it's pretty confusing. i love reading this forum, but get a bit frustrated that there's not a similar resource for ozzies. it'd be great to have so much local info.

    don't forget to check gumtree. some people advertise jobs on there, and you could probably put up a work wanted ad. also 1800drivers.com.au

    I'm scraping the bottom of the barrel here, just to be working. started delivering catalogues last week and putting an app in for night fill at coles tomorrow. i think i've got a better chance of getting a decent job if i show i'm willing to take a crap one. the load restraint course is not running cos they haven't got enough people. sheesh!

    i'd love to do a traineeship cert 3 in road transport, but the only place over here that does it is either geraldton or kalgoorlie (can't remember which) but both are way too far away. you might have better luck over there. money is pretty poor with traineeships tho. one i nearly got (completely different industry but would have been a good career) would've paid around $530 per week for a mature aged trainee such as myself.
