Sorry if this has been asked, but any ideas on best place around Bury St Edmunds (will travel 30+ miles) to gain experience, got Rhides card etc, was with Maritime but got let go due to being in hospital on probation period, looking for nights preferably, not tramping, happy to work weekends, usual problem of needing to get better at reversing. Thank you
Turners at Newmarket
Impossible to get sacked from there and will have the shift you’re looking for.

Did three days with them a few years back and my reversing skills were in demand.
In Thetford there are Star Transport, DHL and Chris Riches. Along the A11 towards Norwich at Roudham there is Aspray they do parcel trunk to West Midlands and at Snetterton there is Foulgers.
Hope these help, I think they are all still operating as I haven’t been there for a while.
You’ll get to do a lot of reversing at Turners as it’s fridge work, it’s all about reversing into loading bays. Maybe mention you want some extra help with reversing when you start and they’ll give you more training.

Ty both very much, sorry seem to be having trouble replying directly
Hi Suetay
The good news is there is plenty of work around here. The following would definately take new passes :
Anglia Freight, Eye - night trunks to Leicester / NEC / Cannock. Week nights there and back.
DPD , Snetterton - night trunks to somewhere in Midlands and back each night.
Freightroute, Thetford - as above, pay rate a bit low but could get experience there.
As mentioned Foulger at Snetterton and Turners at Soham would give you a go. Don`t know if Star or Chris Riches would take a new pass ? but they both run night trunks there and back in same shift. Star : Thetford to Burton on Trent, Riches : Thetford to Atherstone.
Another worth a go is Bartrums, Eye run night trunks to Wolverhampton and Welwyn Garden City and also have a resident training dept and plenty of space to practise reversing.
Good Luck
Is Riches the TNT run?
It’s been many years since I lived in that area but as a former neighbour of part of the family that owned it, haven’t Foulgers been bought out by the same firm that took Mark Thompson? Don’t know if that involves Banham Poultry too but they were big in the area.
Sorry to hijack a little but where is the DPD depot in Snettterton and what’s the agency set up or wage like, thinking of selling up after recent events and moving back to the area, I miss the calm of Snetterton, Banham and Eccles…

Yes Chris Riches does the TNT runs from Thetford to Atherstone.
Foulgers are now part of the Kinaxia ( spelling ? ) group along with some others.
Don`t know about Banham poultry ?
DPD are almost opposite racetrack entrance next to Richard Johnston / QD warehouses and Foulgers yard

Riches used to head west in the early evening so possibly they do TNT. I can’t recall seeing TNT artics for some time. I left Norfolk in November 2015 so hopefully info. is still relevant.
