The job advert came up on my Facebook.
They’re looking for a couple of drivers and I thought might appeal to somebody looking for something a bit different.
Althought I’ve heard of them, I’ve never had anything to do with them, so I can’t give much information about what they’re like to work for etc, maybe somebody else might know and can post some information.

Advertisement For New Drivers
Due to the recent purchases of vehicles and an increased work load we have a couple of vacancies.
Ideally the candidates would have Class C+E Licences and experience - However…
We realise that experience isn’t necessarily all that’s needed, so would invite relatively ‘new’ drivers to apply too - A smart appearance, positive attitude and conscientious trait is the main criteria.
Our work is varied and is most definitely not Monday to Friday 9 - 5.
The work can be at unsocial times and will involve regular weekend work. If you can work flexibly we can make the work fit for you (as long as you get to work on time).
The work is clean and varied and would involve London, UK National and European work.
For more information (including pay rates) and or to register your interest please email - Jo@rjameson-transport.co.uk
Of course if it doesn’t appeal to you or you haven’t got anything constructive to add you’re welcome to ignore the post.

Perhaps I should qualify the constructive bit.
Constructive remarks can include criticism of the company or the work based on your personal experience.
But if it’s “I wouldn’t do that type of work, its ■■■■” based on nothing more than being a miserable ■■■■■■■ who comes on here just to knock everything then please ignore the post.
Adding gaffer tape to mouth as we speak.
If you don’t care which days of the week are your work days and rest days it would be more interesting then most folks on here jobs. Similar to my job where I got Saturday off tomorrow then back in work Sunday - Tues, 24hr off then Thursday - Saturday morning. Up until yesterday I was having this Sunday off ha
But you have to be prepared for unexpected jobs and work days let alone some people that can’t deal with an unexpected night out 
I was the first Tesco driver to just quit the job when I left to work for Concord Road Shows which was an event’s company, my very first day I thought ‘What the [zb] have I done ?’ The fist day seemed totally rubbish, learning how to set up marquees, hospitality units and even mobile banks, it was hard work until I got my set up. I was allocated which was a Scania rigid with a Ford hospitality unit in tow, the whole thing was 65 feet long but because it was a show vehicle it was not over legal length. When I was not travelling to shows or race meetings I would partake in other work that was needed. The job was the best job I ever had, ore fun that I ever imagined. I wanted to carry on when I came to the states but my new wife would not put up with me being away for 6 months at a time, the UK job cost me a wife.
So my advice is that if you are single and like a good fun job where you can make lots of money over time take the job.

Same as that, I will always look back on the four years I spent doing event work as the highlight of over 30 years driving a truck. It’s important to realise that driving a truck is only one of the many things you have to do, I rarely drove more than one day a week.

This is the best thing I’ve read on here for a long time,well put.
And i would assume…a free backstage pass…thats got to be worth a lot…all in all its interesting work…i did some tour work with the RSC…and we had the option of lounging around, or helping out and getting paid extra…was a great job…not everyones cup of tea…as its not regular days…but with a good team a great craic.
I do event work. Drive the truck…Nothing more, that’s what the crew are for.
Yes verne…but if your offered a few extra quid for pushing boxes down the trailer…thats better than doing nowt…dont have to do it, but money in your pocket too…
Never happened in all the time I’ve done it. I have helped do stuff as you say to kill time, but after doing a long stint at the wheel, the last thing you want to do is graft!

I’m not an Event truck driver, I’m a motorsport one, but I have done events when people want a racecar on show, it was a surprise to turn up at the first one I did and the bloke in charge say, “tell that lot what you want off the truck.” I let them move the equipment we took like flightcases, pit stop rig and flooring but letting them loose with the car is another matter.
I’ve done a few European roadshows where I did absolutely everything apart from the presentation. Arrive on site, set up the trailer, set up the equipment, get everything up and running, which could take all day. Then, when the presentations were running I might make sure everyone had lots of alcohol to drink, or go off to get lunch for everyone. Much of it I didn’t have to do but I liked getting involved with it as much as possible rather than just being sat back at the hotel watching TV.
I do similar Monk, it takes 6 people normally two days and a crane for one day to build our customers bar and a day to take down. So back to back F1 events last year were hard work.

I think there is a difference in expectations of what a driver does between the jobs where you’re taking a box trailer with a load of flightcases to an event and working with a display trailer, where you become a rigger when you get to the event, although normally those jobs are described as driver/Rigger.
Yeah muckles I’m assuming this particular job is a case of driving the truck and helping/watching the loading and unloading.
I obviously don’t know the money involved in this job but like I said before it definitely looks interesting.
I work for one of their main competitors and I see Jamesons’ drivers regularly. Good bunch of lads, always got time for them. Jameson’s run mostly fully specced right hand drive MAN’s, although I think they’re replacing them with DAF 106 SSCs. Mainly do event and conference work, and some music. That’s about all I know about them.
Thought they looked familiar - then I remembered we had a generator in the micro brewery next door.
