Wondering if anyone knows of any work available, tramping out of the Teesside area?
currently in a job for a tiny firm (3 units) out of Middlesbrough, have been asking for nights out but sadly they’re not forthcoming.
we seem to have solid work on but there’s not a lot of it and the TM subs loads out rather than giving it to us as he seems to hate it if we end up having to wait to get tipped, we have some great work up to a wind farm a bit north of Dumfries but it was remote and took ages to get on and off site and was a long wait to get tipped so he’s subbing that out now.
so basically I seem to be stuck on regular work which never takes me far sadly. he’s told me to start at 7 tomorrow. it’s nearly bloody lunchtime lol! if at all possible id rather work for a smaller firm as I have an inherent dislike of larger firms, but as they say, beggars cant be choosers! i’m not bothered about having a flash new motor, infact id rather drive an older one. as long as I don’t end up in another MAN TGX! I bloody hate the thing! useless on anything but bone dry tarmac!
the older fella at the firm gets 4 nights out a week every week, but he’s worked there 10 years so it’s only fair.
i’m only 29 but have some solid experience on curtain sides, containers, some flat work, did access equipment on a rigid for a couple of years. have tramped before on a job I did trucking for a theatre tour, was away 5 weeks solid.
i’m a hard worker, id don’t bag jobs out, I like to just get on with it, and above all i’m reliable. and I love the job.
you probably all think i’m mad but if any of you have any words of advice or have any info of any work available I would very much appreciate it.
