The truth is crap quality work is crap quality work.Accepting that to ‘prove yourself’ will just get you typecast as a mug by both the employers and/or those who want to keep the best work for themselves.It also provides no incentive for agencies to clean up their client base books.Well, it’s like this Mr Carryfast. If you join the army, they don’t start you off as a Field Marshal.
The issue is more one of who is going to volunteer or be ‘voluteered’ to peel the spuds and clean the latrines to earn some ‘stripes’.
While ironically my Father was put to work driving Diamond T tank transporters as soon as he arrived in Italy in the REME.But had no wish to follow his Father into driving trucks at the time or after.
While others who I know bought themselves out of the army having joined up for the RCT but never as much as even saw a truck let alone got assigned to the RCT and given the job of driving one that they joined up for.
But didn’t know the army recruits its Field Marshalls from driving agencies.But it is possible to find ‘driving’ agencies with what are effectively building/warehouse labourer jobs on their books.Which might sometimes involve driving a truck a few miles around the houses in a shift.The fact that they are willing to pay class 1 rates to drive an 18 tonner or less is a give away.
