I’ve had a fairly distressing conversation this morning with a lady Class 1driver with 17 years of domestic and international experience. As a result of the economic downturn, and through no fault of her own, she has found herself with no job and no home, and is currently living in her car in the east London area. If anyone has any genuine offers of help, like a job, please contact me on TDreaders@gmail.com and will pass them on.
Thanks, Colin
Whats she doing for food?
no one should be living in a car in 2012, its shocking, tell her to get onto social services as she is homeless they have to help

Plenty are though and a growing number are living in motorhomes/caravans in laybys and industrial estates as well. (I’m not talking gypo’s here either)
Is this something the Professional Drivers Foundation could help with? I know they can’t give her a job but some moral support may be welcome at this lady’s difficult time, even if it’s only having someone to talk to. My sincere good wishes to her and I hope she manages to find something soon.
can’t help but sincerely hope things turn round for her soon.
There’s a couple or three class 1 jobs in Thurrock/Tilbury area on the jobcentre website. Two of those would get a quick reply.
Welcome to Camerons BIG SOCIETY!!! Or should I just say his society 
I sincerely wish her well.

Agreed, and living in a car in London is still more expensive than anywhere else in the UK
selling the car will give you a deposit on a cheap flat somewhere

She hasn’t got a job so that is another part of the catch 22,
No address, no job, no job, no need for a car, get an address, get social or council help, get a job, then buy a car.

I can think of a couple of firms that have a more enlightened attitude. 
I have emailed you; I can certainly get her in front of someone who can help with a job, I can’t promise a job that will be down to her at the informal interview, it is based in gillingham. if she impresses him when they have a chat he will take her on.
