Cornwall hauliers / Jobs

Stussy:
I don’t mind the odd night out but wouldn’t want to be tramping 3-4 nights.
Uk only, distance isn’t really an issue, I’d rather be doing that or trunking as opposed to local multi drop

Difficult area to keep the nights out down to an odd one, purely on the basis on the distances involved, Id be looking at the local multi drop work, safe as houses for getting home and a growing niche for everyone down there on the pallets`… :wink:

I know its not what you want, but it would get you through the door, so you can suss out the job, and they can take a shine to you [or not if you clash]….

Gregorys are looking, but Im not too sure if they are represented that far down nowadays …

I do have many years experience of dealing with and loading pallet
Network double deckers, so it would possibly be to my advantage.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind multi drop to some degree, as long as it wasn’t a stupid amount of drops per day

Quality of life , ie not living in a tin box 5 nights a week or day work ie multi drop , builders merchants etc is about your choice or you might earn better working on caravan site in the summer and sign on in the winter.

Jus Thad a look at DPD, they want 1 year experience unfortunately.
I wouldn’t mind double manned night trunking, I’d expect it due to location

Apply

6 months in I was doing a job that said 2 years required…

If they want someone companies can be remarkably flexible when it suits them

I’ll keep my eye on the site and apply if any come up in Bodmin

If you fancy a bit of brick and block crane work try Maen Karne at Melbur blockworks St Austell, or try Denis Mays blockworks at st Stephens. Ask for Peter Jago at Denis Mays he’ll know a few local hauliers running out of there who might want drivers.

Just to update this or if anyone else is looking in the area, I got taken on for milk collection from farms with Gregory, based at Dairy Crest, Davidstow. Really enjoying it and decent money too

Good for you it’s always great being in a job you enjoy.

Good stuff, that’s a lovely job and will develop your skills…watch out for the hill climb on the way into Ashgrove Farm, Tremaine!

Already got some very steep climbs out of some farms, dump the air off the tag axle and stick it in manual for a steady pull :smiley:
There’s a few where it helps to load just the front compartment too

I’ve just seen that they are after more drivers for nights if anyone is local to Davidstow.
I can give more info to anyone interested

Welcome to Cornwall.

D S Smith have a depot in Launceston if you wanted to work for an own-account co.

They specialise in paper packing and recycling…and are tipped to get bigger and bigger as the pressure mounts on supermarkets to ditch plastic.

No idea what they are like to work for.

Gregory also (always) seems to have jobs

Best of luck

DSSmith are probably your best bet money wise, but their disciplinary policy is easy to fall foul of, dotting the i’s and crossing the t’s
