Yeah all good John,been busy with the dreaded DIY chap ! :unamused: :wink:

Heres one from your part of the world.

Just flicked through a couple of pages, so please forgive my questions. I created a thread earlier about me, a bus man, converting to the other side- HGV driving.
Seem a few companies looking for bodies- Porters and drivers. Any idea what a hgv driver is typically on?
Is it fairly steady and secure? What if the house movers scene dried up, presumably the company won’t pay you? Is the HGV class 1 or 2 generally?

Hi lads,what’s happening no one coming on are you all busy we still flat out at moment,hope you all keeping well how’s the family mark,regards john
