I live in the Midlands now and I quite like the work side of it as there is plenty of work around here. At the moment I am part of the 1k ltd a week brigade and even when I didn’t have much experience I always managed to get into something good.
But when I look at the wages around Devon, it is not all good.
Anything I should do to get a bet shot at the better paying jobs?
Devon and Cornwall are and have been for a long while poor paying areas for some reason. Generally speaking of course. There’ll be exceptions I’m sure.

I knew Cornwall is really bad but really surprises me how low wages are in Devon too and is not that living costs are dead cheap
if your chasing the pounds then devon or cornwall aint for you am afraid.
wages are low, pace of life is a tad slower, views are nice when sat on the porch with a cuppa watching the world go by.
if your not used to driving on tight country lanes or narrow two way roads then devon and cornwall will soon have you be an expert at driving on the verges

Haven’t driven in Cornwall much but done a lot of fertelises to farms in Devon and Somerset. It’s challenging for sure.
Well to be honest I am a money grabber but also enjoy a good view [emoji16]

What are the best areas??
Appreciate, happy new year to you all.
Where in Devon are you going to be located ?
MRCT are based in Willand they do 4 on 4 off I believe.

Hi there I live in Devon and always found Hgv work weather it be class 1 or 2, don’t bother me as long as I get paid. You’re best bet is really the Exeter area that’s where most of the Hgv work is I work in Torquay has a class 2 hiab driver pay is pretty poor tbh. But it’s a job for the time being. There’s a quite a few angencies here Iv used Backline in the past and they have alway got me work. Weather it’s decent driving work or not I still have to get off my arse to pay mortgages bills etc.
