Hi all!
I haven’t driven class 1 for around 8 years or so & in a previous post it was suggested that I approach some local companies & ask if I could be taken on as a 2nd driver for a couple of days to refresh my skills.(reversing etc)
Can anyone give me any suggestions for companies in or near the Wigan area that I could contact?
I know loads of places in Edinburgh I could try but I won’t be back home for a few weeks yet so any help or ideas would be appreciated…
Cheers!

P.S. Enjoying the site…
P.P.S. Thinking about starting out as O/D & have been out & about today looking at new tractors…will start new post on this…
OK, so got a hold of the yellow pages & went through about half of the road haulage listings, made a few calls, explained my situation & got some positive results!
I have some leads & have got to go & see a couple of them on Tuesday. Does anyone have any knowledge of the following outfits?..
- Transvan Express in Ashton in Makerfield
- Austin Wilkinson in Atherton
- Healthcare Logistics Haydock
- A.B. Little in Ashton in Makerfield
Also spoke to a couple of O/D’s & they suggested Penningtons & Taylored Lines, both around Ashton I think.
Finally… Trade Plating, for IDG Holdings in Warrington… I know it’s hitch hiking etc but does anyone have any pearls of wisdom about this type of work?
Any info or suggestions appreciated!
Cheers!
