I’ve enjoyed my time as a shunter its gave me a good life
I came off the road cos the firm I was working for was being ruined by “graduates” it was a long established old fashioned general haulage company
Both my Grandads worked there my Dad worked there as too did 2 of my uncles
The shunting job was with one of our customers I ended up earning more money for half the hours I was doing going down the road all week
I left Stirlands in 2003 after just over 20 years there sadly TDG shut it down in 2006 so in hindsight it was a good move
