Well due to certain things not to my liking at my current job I’m jumping ship again
Within a week I knew I made a big mistake coming back when they talked the brown nose in to staying which caused a long time driver of 16 years to leave last week
I was offered a job at the same place as where he went last week but they were waiting on getting a new truck which they thought may not be for a month or so , but had a phone call yesterday asking me if I could start next Monday 19th
Hopefully this won’t be the 3rd Muddy field I’ve jumped in to in 3 months
P/s the company I’m going to is small with only 4 artics and 2 rigids but is frowning fast as my old TM is there now with his little black book of work contacts and the boss looks like a driver and does drive and work in the warehouse , not sitting in an office 10miles away
Rob the dog you were right about the yellow bunch
Just go on the [zb] agency. Why all this jumping around? It’s the same [zb] at every logistics.com haulier as a full-timer, the only difference is the colour of the trucks and the name on the side. Find somewhere you like on the agency and you never have to worry about driver politicis again. Go in, do your job, go home get paid. Rinse, repeat. When you get bored, tell them and they’ll put you somewhere else.
Fair play but for the future…
Don’t let others impact on you. Just ignore it. I can honestly say I don’t care what others do, what they earn, what runs they get or when they finish. It’s not even on my radar. I can’t change it so why give it the time of day in the first place. Same with those who moan about my hours/run/finish time etc. Couldn’t give a monkeys.
Don’t let the forkers shaft you,though.
Pays to let them know you’re"alive"once in a while

Gets my vote. Find a decent agency, and they do exist, sample everything what’s on offer for the first month or so and cherry pick from that what you like. If you’re being really mercenary you just ask them what pays the best and go for what is paying the highest rate.
Blue Estate aren’t you in Hull? I’m sending you a PM.

Decent boss is a start,
An having a life, hell who knows maybe even being appreciated,
OK I was dreaming out loud

No Gosport on sauf coast
If I was in your neck of the woods I would want to work for one of the boat transport companies: Coast 2 Coast, Boat Transport, SW Boat Transport… Looks like interesting work.
You and Eagerbeaver should get together and rent an Art Deco warehouse mate and put on an exhibition of uniforms you’ve collected. You could call it “Transport through the years”, charge punters £20 a head and maybe throw in some Stobbies memorabilia.
This time next year Rodney…….

Fair point

You could have Carryfast as a tour guide. As he takes the group around the expo he can rant and rave of the injustices of being a truck driver.

But he’ll never get past the roping and sheeting section
