Edward Teller:
Do yourself a favour Wagonlad and stay where you are, its a crap job markets, and you have to be a bit dim to do it.
And supermarket delivery drivers can be taught brain surgery 
Its a job where you have to think for yourself not jump as high as some graduate boy tells you

Really, Mr Teller■■? Hmmmmmmm, done markets, have you?? Know how to go into Covent with 13 drops on on a Sunday night and get out before dawn breaks, eh??
Of course, I don’t cos I am a bit dim.
Mr Teller, a good market man will run rings round a supermarket driver any day of the week so unless you know what you are talking about then shut the ■■■■ up
Done market work old boy, but i wasnt dim enough to stick it. 
As im not a “proper” driver.

Supermarkets and retail?? Jesus, that ain’t driving…
Markets are what you make of them … they can be the biggest pain in the ■■■ going or if you are prepared to use your head, a piece of cake. We do all the London ones plus markets all round the country. Some cost you to get into (should always be returned by the boss as is parking), ie Covent Garden is £4 as I remember … Western International is more ( I am sure its a tenner).
If you’re boss knows what he is doing, he will pay you back the money you sometimes have to ‘pass’ to a forkie. Some call it bribery, I call it common sense. If I get into Western at 10pm and go to a certain stand, I know I can pay that guy 50p a pallet and he will deliver the lot all round the market for me. Now if I am lucky and have a full load for that market, then it will cost me £13 BUT I am on my way out of the market within 45 minutes and on my way home. The alternative is to wait for all the standholders to come in to work, some of whom don’t come in till 2am. Then YOU are chasing round like a headless chicken trying to get them all off. By paying, you get an early night and the forkie is happy (NEVER upset a forkie in the markets).
I go to Cardiff market and pay a certain guy there a fiver a pallet to take my Swanseas off me and deliver them for me. The boss pays cos it is a darn sight cheaper than running a artic from Cardiff to Swansea for 2 or 3 pallets. Then I am on my way… once again, everybody happy.
It is not night work… tis a late start. Most markets open by 10 so it depends on where you are based and where you’re delivering to as to what time you start. I can’t see where you’re based but a good bet says Lincs somewhere. If you want to know more about a particular firm, pm me before tonight is out and I will answer you properly.
It can be damned hard work especially if you are using a fridge as obviously every pallet has to be pumped out. A ragsider makes it a piece of ■■■■. I always thought it was a great job in the summer but crap in the winter lol. Let me know who you are considering pulling for and more details and if I can help, I will.
Sorry for the earlier reply but I sometimes get the ■■■ over daft things.
Take no notice of the people that say ‘you shouldn’t have to pay the forkie to get tipped’. Those guys have never done markets properly
There now, that didn’t hurt too much, did it Austin? 
Told him all he needs to know which was what…he wanted to know
And you are right about all of it too, IMHO.
