drive around and it will come to you, and believe me, when it does it’s well worth it
Do not waste your time phoning or e-mailing, it did work for me when i was out of work, drive around and ask to see the transport manager, with all your kit in the car ready to go, if you call in when their driver is ill or walked out you have got a job, even if it may be washing the trucks on saturday mornings, you are in the door, or even double man trips to start with.
If you have a look on the VOSA website O licence applications website you can be a detective and find a small operator that is starting out new, the website will list all the firms in your area, an owner driver looking for a hoiday cover driver maybe.
A quick check on Companies House webite has useful information.
If you see an ad for a driving job in the paper, act fast and say you are coming now to have a chat.
Wesite for driving jobs are Gumtree, Rapido, and Eures.

You need to show that you’re keen. It doesn’t take much effort to pick up the phone or click send, so use your legs instead.
