Have you considered G&S at Bellshill?
They usualy run 6 weeks away. If that would be OK, then a little commute wouldn’t be much of a problem would it?

Hi
I work for Exel on the Halfords contract at washford.Great job,but the travelling is getting a bit much.When i started there 4 years ago on the agency,it was 4 nights out a week.Now i’m lucky if i get 1.Its a 100 mile round trip so its getting expensive aswell.
I think one of our drivers lives up at rubery.

I was talking to a driver the other week from your way.He travels to Newbridge on wye and works for jenkinsons.he said it was good money and he usually gets home once a week aswell.
Ive heard they may be parking some motors up near me.I’d be intrested in that as i would’nt have any travelling time.But jenkinsons pay wages based on the trucks earnings,so i’m not sure if it would be a good move or not.Whereas i’m on salary at halfords and i know what i’m on every week and i dont have to do alot for it.

they’re going to be based at craven arms i’ve been told by a mate who works there,he reckons he clearing about £500 a week if your’e out all week and thats if you go steady…

Ive been talking to their drivers if i see any parked up.Some say the pay is £430-£480 including nights out,thats going hard all week.max hours,booking every minute of poa.one bloke said he did £34k.
Living in Craven arms and alot of their work is up and down the A49,I’d like a night or two at home.But i think they want max driving out of you every day.And wouldnt be to keen if i parked up on 11-12 hours or 8 hours driving. (but that would depend on if they appreciated a 100% reliable driver) and try and be a bit more accomodating,than expect 4 nights out to be the norm.
If i could’nt get home in the week i’d stay where i am.at least i know i’m on £29k for 48hours (easy life) plus £29 a night out (roughly 1-2 a week)
Overall the drivers ive spoke to said its a good job.But ive been spoilt the last few years.No need to speed,easy job,nice and clean and good money.
This week ive only done 44 hours and 2 nights out.Thats £635.
But it costs me£50 to run the car and around 5-7hopurs a week of my time driving it.
I dont really know what to do.it would be nice to park the truck up and walk home in 5minutes.but if you have a bad week on jenkins and only earn £430 for max hours and 4 nights out i’d be right peeved off.
If youve got anymore info off your mate i’d be very grateful
Cheers

hi tony sorry thats all i know but i’ll try and bump in to him before i go back to work the end of this week and try and find out some more…

Perhaps it was your mate i was talking to.
he was parked on Reading services a few weeks ago with another driver.It was the night that the coach crashed on the M4 M25 Split.
I’d still be interested if he’s got anymore info though.
Cheers
