Hiya peewee!
Where in the south are you?
I think you will be very very lucky indeed if you can find a class 2 job paying £9, but fair play if you can! 
There are jobs out there, but as a total newbie you would probably end up having to start off working with an agency or two.

I see. Well I reckon you should do just fine getting a class 2 job around Southampton. But like I say, I seriously doubt that will be paid at £9 per hour. More realisticly you could expect anything from £6.50 to £8 an hour. It all depends really!

see i would be happy with £8 a hour my main concern is finding a job where i currently live i have a 3663 depot opposite my house and they were advertising £500 per week which i find bit scepitcal
3663 lads and lasses do earn upwards of 500 a week.
But they work their butts off handballing to achieve these wages.
Hi peewee , 3663 is good start but to earn that is doubtful. … have you tried pensworth daries out at redlynch they used to put drivers through their class 2 … what warehouse pays 9 ph never heard of that in salusbury unless he is a skilled worker you mate wont earn the same on class 2

the advert for 3663 stated £500 per week pensworth have moved i think to southampton and i should of mentioned my mate works in christchurch i have told him he wont earn the same money but not convinced he beleives me but he also works 4 days a week i use to work at ford parts uk until last year earning £7.52 for working nights if i can earn that or more driving on day i will be happy i appricate its not gonna happen straight away
