Work in Manchester

Am thinking about moving up to Manchester from Cambridge, and will probably have to give up driving a desk and get back behind the wheel.
What is the work like up that way, I don’t want to go back on agency if I can help.
Would be nice to know if there are many firms advertising at the minute.
Don’t really want to do tramping, but 2-3 nights out per week is ok. Again, Multi drop, containers, not really fussed, as long as the money is ok.

Just out of interest, what is the average hourly rate for an artic in those neck of the woods ?

Cheers Folks

I know that Maritime has got a depot in Trafford Park.
