My mate works for Blue Arrow driver agency in Bellshill, he says at weekends just now he can’t get enough drivers and other agencies have been calling him to see if they have any spare drivers too. At this time of the year there’s work picking up strawberries at various farms and taking them to a warehouse in Bellshill. I don’t live anywhere near Glasgow and not done any work for them myself so don’t know rates etc but some of you might be interested. A fair bit of the work is Wisemans, Gist and Marks and Spencers (are they the same? dunno.)
There does seem to be a good thwack of work available up here at the moment, although sadly it seems it’s only enough to cover drivers that are established with the agencies and very little for new starts.
Gist does all of M&S. G&S are owned by Gist and pull Wiseman stock from the local depot round to Gist and onto stores.
