You should try on your holiday via an agency. The life of a motorway gipsy is not for everyone. Where are you based ?
In my opinion mate. Only mine. It’s a single man’s job. I done it for 5 years in bulkers and loved it. Illness/revocation forced me away or I would still be doing it.
Circumstances do change as time goes on and require you to maybe change yours. But my wife knows that I would go back in a minute. Job has changed so much now as well. You are the only one that can decide.
Good luck either way.
I tramp. Love it. I think you have to be of a certain mindset to do it permanently. The less folk I have to make mindless banter with, the better. Rather be left alone with my thoughts and my tunes.
I guess a lot of it depends on what motor you’ve got too. If our replacement trucks don’t have proper fridges and microwaves, I’ll reconsider my position.

I couldn’t agree more with Paul
Try and get a job lumping higher value items about like soft drinks or booze , then yr boss will have to fork out for your parking . if u hauling stuff that no one wants to nick you will be stuck in the laybys .
Worst thing for me is timing yr bowel movements for when u near a toilet !!
But plenty of jobs about so try it for a month then tell the boss to stick it !
Only two choices…try it…and you will love or you will hate it…
For me it´s the best i´ve ever done,i love it…but like others have said…it´s nothing for everyone…

What’s wrong with a couple of tosco bags in a small plastic bin, just make sure the anti smothering holes don’t line up, or line the bottom with a couple of sheets of kitchen roll. sorted an simples !

They also need to run their engines for 15 minutes out of every 20 to charge up their laptops so they have something to watch whilst driving with 20% of their motor in your lane. So don’t expect the best nights sleep.

I think that seems like a good idea, I’m based in Somerset but don’t mind a bit of a commute , any ideas on good firms to work for ?
