Well released myself from my current employer, rang up a new company and did an assessment drive this morning. Start Monday and looking forward to it. New Mercedes Actros which I drove and quite enjoyed. 4 on and 4 off. Tramping again but that’s what I prefer. Odd as depends what part of the country you are in as to employment prospects. I know a few who say its a struggle but I had 3 replies and 3 job offers in the space of two days. Maybe lucky to leave when I did. Left on good terms with last employer (just in case) but on the whole seems to be a fair amount of work about at the moment.

Yeah but if one of those offers was from Longs that doesn’t count!

I was about to ring your gaf yesterday but assumed that job would have been taken by now. The one I have now is similar money and decent enough to work for.
Didn’t realise CoPilot sales reps tramped

We’ve had a few people start, but hitting trees and missing pins, oh and tipping with a twist lock on doesn’t go down to well
But on the plus side all them errors have made them realise they have a good set of lads and we got a decent payrise 
Nice one Rob, fingers crossed it all goes ok for you

Always does a company good to get the perma wreckers now and again, helps them appreciate the good ones they have. 
Good luck with the new job UKtramp.
And so it is written. He shalt go forth and spread thine word! (On a fixed 4 on 4 off basis).
