Send your cv to every transport company in your catchment area, and make a list of who.
10 days later, call and ask them if they have received it, and ask if there are any current vacancies.
Keep trying, one day some company will be overstretched, and will need you.
Done agency work, they are ok when busy, but will treat you awful when it suits.
Most companies only get agency drivers when overstretched, which leads back to the cv and calling them point.
You have only had your licence 4 months so will not get the best paying jobs right away. With agencies you have to remember that they don’t have any driving jobs they wait for the phone to ring from someone wanting a driver and then they give work out which might be you.

Whilst on the dole I did my class one and started ringing
round for jobs. Unfortunately I had very little luck in
finding anything so I registered with two agencies.

Many insurance companies stipulate that drivers must have two years
experience. It is a stinking Catch 22 situation but think about it . . .
. . . would you let a novice drive your hundred grand rig ? ? ?

I am asking this question,and I’;ve told my boy to ask these agencies the same question,where is this seemingly bottomless pit of experienced drivers?.
There are said to be more people leaving the industry than coming into it,plus many older drivers reckon they will retire early rather than take on the DCPC,so by these facts,there must be an end to the supply of experienced drivers eventually.
With luck the industry will get bitten in the arse fairly soon.
This time next year is going to be rather interesting then I think… 
Dont forget the Bulgaromanians that are coming this way next year.The O.P. should get on to Manpower for Royal Mail work and the likes of Tufnells as they should be gearing up now.

Some people are saying that when the Scotch go independent
and we have to send Jocky Foreigner back to his own country,
we will need one or two Jonny BulgoRoms to keep the English
wheels turning. But some people are also saying that it will be
self financing because Jonny BulgoRom will only want £6.31
per hour and that will be paid for by stopping the Scotch subsidy.

I would also suggest that if you get no joy recovering your owed monies from agency X then phone them asking for more work, once they send you a shift don’t bother turning up. Petty, yes, irresponsible, perhaps. Satisfying, certainly.
