Hello. Passed my tests in May but had a reasonable job in another profession so apart from pestering a few agencys for some suitable work for a new bloke i was happy to stay in my old job with a regular wage.
Seems the done thing to have a first weeks work diary here so if anyones interested heres my tuppence worth for the next week.
Got fed up eventually of being told by the agencys ānothing at the minute, only odd days or a weekā and i thought they were keen to get drivers after all the headlines and driver enrolement days in the local papers. So I called driver hire on the off chance (didnt use them initially at theyre not very local) that theyd have work.
What do you know, " register today and you can start an ongoing long term tempory contract on Monday". Moneys only so - so but it seems easy work.
Its a vehicle hire firm so hopefully ill get some practice in plenty of different lorrys just driving them to the customers and bringing back the previous vehicle. Gotta be easier than loads of drops to corner shops or building sites.
Guaranteed 45hrs week, days only. Almost no weekends or nights, delivering lorrys and shunting in the yard plus āhelping outā¦ā.
Gotta start somewhere whilst i wait the results of the full time job ive applied for or something better paid (pleeeeease) turns up thats gonna last for a long while.
p.s. why is it that the agencys havnt got any work for weeks then as soon as you accept one job, all the others call you up with work. Seems that when you tell them your busy for a few weeks they get upset and want you to come back working for them.
