.Which going by the apologetic nature of the call I got from the guvnor who’d originally offered me the job is quite possible.In which case,going by the time delay,he must have put up a bleedin good argument on my behalf but obviously having been defeated by the type of closed minded bs of those above him which you seem to be going by.

So we have reached the reason as to why you are so agitated by what is the normal progression in any profession, start at the bottom and work up, even if you are experienced but changing employer or sector/role. You were offered a job by a transport manager who was over ruled by his boss, maybe the company owner, because of your lack of experience in the particular sector. Yet because of your personal arrogance, you maybe refused the chance to work in a more familiar role within the same company, even though this would have put you on the spring board to your eventual aim. Strikes me that your arrogance could have landed you in trouble, without the banked good will of which I wrote earlier 
Let’s get this right.‘If’ the scenario went the way you’re describing ( quite possible ) you’re saying that the firm’s higher management overruled a call by someone that they’ve given the responsibility of recruitment.That call being that ‘experience’ gained with previous employers was already good enough to provide the so called ‘spring board’ you’re describing.So why the need for more of the same and what difference would it have made to the situation of inexperience in the new international running sector anyway ?.While at best the idea of experience,gained working at ‘the bottom’ in other sectors,with other employers,not counting in that case just confirms my view.Added to by evidence of people having got the required breaks stating that they’ve bs’d their way into similar jobs in similar situations obviously to avoid such politics.
Which still leaves the question of the other scenario of the bs promise of decent work being used as a carrot to fill less attractive vanancies.Which seems to be more or less the whole premise of the bs idea of ‘start at the bottom’ across the industry.
While in either case are you really suggesting that anyone with any sense would throw away loads of service time with a reasonable employer in an acceptable job on that basis.If so you’re avin a larf.
And you’ve got the nerve to call me arrogant.On that note keep digging because continuing to be in denial on the subject certainly isn’t helping the cause of making the job more attractive to new entrants.
Well yes, I do think you are being arrogant, unless have I this wrong, you spat your dummy out over not getting straight away, the chance to go straight onto a job at which you had no experience, all be it I wasn’t there, but I’m making the assumption that you were offered a different role, whilst they got to know you better, then when they were comfortable with you, would have no doubt rolled into the work you desired, but you wouldn’t wait because it wasn’t what was promised.
And here’s a thing transport managers lie, so quite likely, the gezzer saw you coming thought he’ll do to fill that seat, then left a reasonable time to let you down, so he could blame others but hey here’s the job I want you for anyway, and we’ll work on getting to the continent at a later date.
I probably like many have on here accepted temporary worse t&c’s to get a foot through a door. I left a nearly new motor at my previous employer, fro better pay at my present employer. I had to lorry hop for nearly 3 months(cover holidays), then was allocated a truck that was 4 years older than the on I’d left at my previous employer. I didn’t ■■■■■ or complain, because I could see the bigger picture, Oh unlike you, I was going to do exactly the same work(containers), not changing industry sectors
