Moving to Dorchester

Hi all, been here a while but just as a reader, seen some great advice so thought i would ask a question, at the end of October i am moving to Dorchester from surrey, i currently work for Wincanton/Morrisons cdc in Feltham, they were going to try transferring me to Dairy Crest in chard but seeing as i have just found out its closing that prob wont be happening.

So to my question, does anyone know of and class one work down that way, have never done nights out but wouldn’t mind if it was on 4on 4off but not 5 out of 7 as i still have a young family.

cheers shorts

Morrisons Bridgewater (DHL)always looking for drivers but that doesn’t come with a recommendation.

Not sure if you are class 1 or 2, but there is not much down that way. Chard is a bit of a trek, but you might try JB Wheaton.
Also, with depots at Blandford and Chard, you’ve got C & D South West (palletforce member).
You should consider including Yeovil, Poole, Weymouth in your internet job searches.

Be prepared for a massive loss in earnings.

Not necessarily.
Better quality of life as well, in my opinion.

Wyvern Cargo, Dyce carriers, AET group - all in Poole

cheers all, i am class 1 btw, will have a look into them,

not necessarily, also if i could find a 4on 4off with 3 nights away i would be willing to travel a bit further.

That’s what I thought when I moved to Wareham in 2004.

4 years later in a pile of debt and one foot in the door of the loony bin (I kid you not :smiling_imp: ) I breathed a great sigh of relief when I moved back to God’s Country. Dorset isn’t the “land of milk and honey” that people seem to think it is. If Dorset ceased to exist, I for one wouldn’t shed any tears.

Mole Valley Farmers are advertising for drivers. All farm drops, all bulk not bags, a 4 on 2 off system ,
(of sorts) no sunday work unless asked over the xmas period , not yer average lorry driving job , lots of muck & fair few challenges in the winter , not many motorway worriors stick at our work, we’re a breed apart :laughing: Dorch mill is 5 mins from the town on the old piddlehinton barracks , enterprise park i think it’s called now

I’Ve heard that Langdons do 4 on 4 off out of Bridgwater, prob about 40 minutes from Dorchester.

The in-laws live in deepest Dorset it’s lovely but only if you’re retired.

Bridgwater is 52 miles from Dorchester. You’d have to be a highly paid and highly motivated individual.
