Definitely the tippers if you can get a chance on them, just remember you don’t need to drive them like everybody else does, as if they haven’t got 1 second to lose.
Some tipper jobs can be one hitters were as others you might be doing 2 or 3 drops per day while others will have you running backwards and forwards doing 10 plus drops very local to your loading point.
Either way it’s all very easy work, no handball whatsoever, loading normally takes 2 or 3 minutes via a loading shovel and unloading normally takes seconds, hassle free work.
As far as courses go, look at getting clamshell grab to be more appealing for muck away companies.
I’ve done all the soul destroying class 2 work before, 700kg plus of gravel or paving slabs on pallets trying to get them over rough tarmac roads, or overloaded cages full of tins with a dodgy wheel or carrying 25kg sacks of potatoes up 3 flights of stairs to upstairs restaurants and canteens, none of them I class as driving jobs, not really.
Delivery of heating oil to homes in the country side using 18T and 26T tankers would be another thing to look at but you would need ADR and also the work can be very seasonal.
