hi all as a noob im looking for any advice on companies and agencies in somerset as i have my test on the 31st and on the hope i pass will be looking or work and wanted to see if anyone on here is in the somerset region who could reccomend any one
Have you tried Sparks of Glastonbury?
i havent no. do they do rigids all ive ever seen is artics i think i know where they are (the same road as the hospital on left heading into town)
Which part of Somerset ?
If you’re near Bridgwater, Wisemans have a lot of rigids and If I remember right they take on newbies
Aye and their reet on the M5 been sometime since I’ve passed them.

had a look but no current jobs 
would be cool as i live on a working dairy farm to driving a cow
What about Wincanton logistics? I believe their HQ is now at Chippenham Wilts.
ok i did think about them as i beleif they have an area at wincanton shared with gregorys im in hope i can get in with arla in frome who do the farm collections of milk as just been told they consider new drivers and have just taken on loads of new farms and will be takng on drivers
What about JR Hardings in Frome?
i do beleive they too only run artics not seen any rgids in their yards im going to give framptons a go in shepton
You could also try the Cider people at Sheppy or Uniq at Evercreech.
What happened to Govier’s, are they still going?
goviers is not one i have heard of i will pop into uniq as i know where they are as not to far from us. i have one question, we have georges of bruton 3 miles away who transport livestock, do you need any additional licences qualifications etc to haul livestock■■?
You should also try Langdons.

Then you need to be talking to the bloke who collects the milk, delivers the feed or brings your bedding straw!
i have as it happens been talking to the arla driver who collects our milk thats how i found out they may be taking on drivers soon hopefully he going to put in a good word for me.
