You could be living the dream lifestyle if you apply to xpo in Leigh.
Does mention though your be living in your cab Mon to Fri.
But apart from that your living the dream life.
Have they sold it to you then?
You can polish a turd…but it’s still a turd.
Can’t argue, they do have a point. 60-70hrs you’ve already done on Monday to Friday aren’t enough for many haulage companies and they want you in doing Saturdays if you’re not tramping or running out on Sunday if you are.
Sounds like an exciting opportunity.

No, you CAN’T polish a turd, but you CAN roll it in glitter

Was on total jobs get emails all time with latest jobs because joined them ages ago
Altough the advert does contradict it’s self
At the start it says £ from GBP 44500.00
Yet near bottom it says the following
You will be working on a minimum 40 hour week but with OTE of £44,500 on average.
To me at start it says starting pay is £44500.
Yet at end it says you can earn upto 44500 with overtime probably max out your hours every day.
Do wonder if you could do them under trade descriptions act.
Or if you worked your max hours every week and didn’t earn the advertised wage over a year would you have. Case to sue them
Says a lot about the work/life balance we have in the Uk at the moment that when advertising jobs, employers think its a boast that youll have the weekend off to do what you want.

My thoughts entirely . 
My cage monkey rota gives me a fantastic work life balance for £900 less OTE (OTE is getting full Fleetboard bonus). However I say that after ■■■■■■■ up yesterday causing me to night out at Sutton Scotney. I really couldn’t do that for 4 nights a week, the very rare
night out is more than enough.And every third weekend is an Easter bank holiday. Fishing, mountain biking, sea kayaking
If my uncles 30+ years of tramping is to go by then the reality is come home, eat, sleep Infront of the telly and repeat

It never ceases to amaze me how guys who have never tramped, have these misguided views on the life of a tramper…
If that’s how your Uncle chooses to live his life, that’s up to him, but don’t judge us all by that way.
Living on pot noodles in lay bys,.wet wipe washes etc, and now continuing to live a ■■■■ boring life on our time off as well. 
And btw …wtf is a ‘‘Cage Monkey’’ ■■ 
Cage monkey, pushing cages into stores.
Last cage…
Monkey job I did was for Superdrug on nights.
They sent a drivers mate with you. He had all the keys and codes to get into the stores. Job was a doddle with two of you in the box doing the cages okey cokey.

Ah right , that one has passed me right by over the years.
Sounds MUCH better than tramping btw. 
Mon-Fri not exactly hard to find in the tramping world.
The big question is what time your in the car on Friday afternoon.
Veolia I think is Mon-Fri, I think that’s doing the moffat work collecting bails of recycling.
I used to play golf on a Saturday morning but I gave it up.
I could never get the ball to go under that windmill.
