Hello all
Had my Class 2 for nigh in ten years now but after a few years of that I went to drive coaches but now I’m looking at dipping back into HGV work (fed up with the people I carry lol) on Class 1.
So about the first job. Am I better off going on agency and taking what I can? What is the work frequency like? Obviously I’ve got a mortgage to pay etc so I’d like reliable income. What’s the realistic chances of acheiving this?
Alternatively I’ve a chance at my mates work. It’s general haulage and he seems well respected there and he’s put a word in and says they will take me pending formalities. This is a permanent position but the money isn’t the best. It’s not bad at all though.
I also live in a distribution hotspot in Rugby. There’s DIRFT on my doorstep, Magna Park, places in Rugby.
I just don’t know where to turn so any advice for a new/returning trucker is appreciated
