Hi, I know there is probably thousands of post on the site lke this! But hey!

Im 22 and working as an apprentice fitter in a small haulage company based in the midlands/ warwickshire.

Cut a long story short, Im sick of the same thing everyday, same walls, same jokes same faces and not really going anywhere! inspection after inspection, curtain repairs… you get my drift!!

Ive always fancied doing some driving and been interested in 8 wheel tipper work!

Can anyone give me some advice on what the works like, pay, hours conditions etc and do you know any decent companies in my area that would take me on??

Held my class one licence for a year now, Know its not long but i suppose you gotta start somewhere ay??

Also some franchise information from owner drivers working out of quarries!!

Thanks alot guys!
