Camden were defo looking 2/3 drivers.
(see three new VolvoFH sitting in their “lovely” shade of green in Dennisons Ballyclare 
)
If up in Co.Antrim why not the “usual suspects”:
McBurney 
Woodsides
Blair
Bell them up,
McBurney mad for drivers to trunk out of Cairnryan AFAIA.

I would give mcculla another go big truck offered me two weeks training with pay just to get up to there standards just think over Christmas was very busy for them. There assessor was very nice great to talk an been there years mate. I believe in second chances an if they phone me I would love to drive for them. I went down on a Saturday an there lorries were all being looked after. I got a few pms from a man an he was to his word so things looking great at the mo. The money don’t bother me its just the love of driving artics an getting home to my wife an kids after a week or two away what more do you really need!! Every one in life deserves a chance. Thats not me being cheeky our funny thats being honest mate. Il be of now till 2nd so I’ll wish you all a happy new year men an women.
Aye,
“AS” a decent fella,
company man though and nobody as good as McCulla.
Doubt he’ll have time to train you up for two weeks though 
Also compare their very “generous” holiday pay to other NI hauliers. 
Would kill me to be looking at 2weeks tramping about the mainland,
the odd Sun to Thur has me “cab sick” in the aul “tinbox”

try the mushroom brigade in co armagh.the subbies will be less fussy if you can run bent…or try the smaller companies across the border,same rules apply,and youl be on uk/eire trip money otherwise it wont be worth doing…alternatively,get an address across the border,change your licence for a paddy one,and theres a reasonable chance it may not follow you,as there still a bit slap dash down there.easy done with no big outlay.youl make nothing working for grafton/jark etc around Belfast.you wont get into Tosco,itl be 350 a shift on the bins,and sains/nfl will be 6 hour shifts for pish money.its like getting credit,high risk,high interest,with a bad stamp you wont get the cream of the jobs…if someone considers you,then you could always tell them you would pay the balance of your excess on a weekly basis if they put some faith in you?,but id reckon the bigger companies would just shouldner you especially as its about to enter a quiet period for a cpl months.Out of interest what’s a Paddy one,if I remember correctly any fella from the island of Ireland is classed as a paddy where I was in England .
to any normal person from the uk,or mostly anywhere else,then if your from Ireland,or northern Ireland,then your classed as a paddy,hence all the paddy jokes etc.
if your from northern Ireland and of the bigoted/proddy persuasion,then you will take great offence at someone referring to you as a paddy,as that would imply your irish,and by definition obviously a catholic. they class northern Ireland as Britain,though at the same time,they generally don’t like the british/English in the same way that generally scots don’t like the English,but with more religious overtones because of all the previous troubles…if you don’t live here,or don’t have any religious ax to grind,then you wouldn’t know,but living in the north,its just catholic/proddy in your face.whether its flags flying,kerbstones/lampposts painted,or anything else.so if your from eire,then your a paddy,if your from the north,then im never certain what they want to be called,as although northern Ireland is british,they they don’t want to be called brits as that represents the queen/England,and the army.they don’t want to be called irish as that means eire,and catholic,being called northern irish would suffice similar to im from Scotland so im Scottish,but it varies depending on who you ask. some say they are Ulstermen ■■ so who really knows or cares…at the same time,when the paddys ate telling paddy jokes,they say,there was paddy Englishman,paddy Scotsman etc,or there was a Kerry man or Donegal man etc.when they run out of counties,then it gets down to the mac o dougals on the receiving end.a prime example of this train of thought is the reason they call Londonderry stroke city. personally I don’t care either way,but the north is chokablock of those that do.
Hi diesel went to Blair the day they need drivers got an application form took copy’s of all my stuff nice people nice gear to! Camden have good gear but I know the three people left them lorries Man there years left an went to work for royal mail got his lorry home an treated it like the love of his life Dont think any other company would leave there drivers stranded cuz they can be bothered getting out of bed live three mile’s away from it would rather do without money than be treated like that!

NOPE
Have yet to be called “Paddy” not even heard it once. 
Get called “Drive” or “Big Man” brave an often though
I have no problem saying I’m British or Northern Irish,
rather proud of both to be honest.
But,
this is a trucking forum so back on topic.
