trevHCS:
As for new start, it should be easy work in most cases
Tippers/Bulkers ro ro/hook loader type work is usually better quality work than hiab/building materials and distribution sector local multi drop etc.
No surprise the agencies are full of the latter but rarely if ever have the former, let alone international work, on their books.
In past times it’s generally what differentiated class 2 work from class 3.The former usually subject to the same bs face fits pecking orders as moving onto class 1 work then or now.
