Sign up with all of 'em, every hour you’re not working you should be either talking to an agency or knocking on doors, stop only when someone offers you a job.

It works, trust me.

When/if the work starts coming in you’ll soon be able to suss out who’s worth working with & who’s taking the michael, untill then your inexperience will shine out like a full moon & unless you possess more than the average drivers wits you’re gonna be took advantage of.

Gearwise, toe cap boots, Hi-Viz & gloves are the minimum. I find that if anything else PPE wise is required then the client is happy to provide it.

Thanks guys that’s really helpfull! In terms of work trousers and tops I’m assuming I have to provide these myself, I’m thinking smart combat style work trousers and polo tops is that about right?
