So finally working.
It’s the best decision I’ve made after years of being miserable in various office jobs, sometimes I forget I’m working 
Certainly not clock watching or fantasising about killing work colleagues
Just like to say thanks for all the helpful posts, it’s been invaluable.
Cheers
Congrats pal! 
What you doing? Tippers I assume…
Is it agency, or did you get a direct start?

Cheers. Full time position. Home by 6 every day … so far 
Tipping tarmac mainly . Great bunch of lads to work for.
All over the North West so no fixed routes which makes it more interesting .
Was starting to doubt my decision after reading a few negative posts but I think that’s the posters problems and not the job 
Good on you mate. Take no notice of the doom and gloom merchants.
Can I ask how you got the lead?
Did you hand in your CV to the local companies, or did you know someone?
Is it tipping tarmac through the summer? what do the tippers do in the winter, just curious as I have never worked on tippers?
Big tipper…in a rigid■■?
just joking fella,enjoy!.

Was through a friend but there’s loads of tipper jobs in Manchester

OK, I approached a couple near me and they didn’t seem interested.
Maybe they don’t need drivers or think I’m a bellend! - Shut up people!!!

I would stick at it mate, easiest class 2 work you’ll get
Was slightly economical with the truth regarding my experience

Oh OK thanks and with tipper experience you could get on the gritters for councils or their subcontractors so there are other jobs to be had in the winter around Jan Feb when other work is thin on the ground. I know some of the bulk tipper drivers at Potters love their jobs and reckon they have the best jobs in driving. Good luck mate pleased for you

Will do, but on the agency at present trying to get a bit of experience.
I couldn’t/wouldn’t blag the experience, as only passed a couple of weeks ago. 
I started out on construction sites as a trainee engineer, so know the game well…
Hope it all pans out well for you!
