THE DRIVER SHORTAGE IS AN ADVERTISING MYTH - Generally more drivers than jobs in the UK
However, many newbies on this site have recently secured permanent full time C+E employment
This has been mainly in the south midlands area - each area of the UK has it’s own particular problems in this recession.

Although I’m not from the Boro area (my missus is), in my experience there is plenty of class 1 opportunity. I’ve recently passed my class 2 and have found work but in doing so the amount of class 1 work opportunity has been better than class 2. Don’t be put off, ring round, bang on doors. Have you tried Prestons at Potto, shouldn’t be far from you.
