Some might remember me from a few months ago. I had failed my Class 2 a few times and was a little down…passed on my fifth attempt! I then went and did my class 1 which I failed first time but passed yesterday on my second attempt. Extremely relieved as many of you will know what it’s like to fail a few then finally pass. Anyway, I would like to work around London…I saw a few months ago somebody mention that there would be a lot of work around Heathrow. Does anybody have any agency names / contacts there? Is there a lot of work around the area for a newly passed driver? Thanks in advance…
Congratulations on passing class 1 & 2 Ader1
and good luck with finding work .
Well done on the test passes , hope you find work.
Congratulations Alder 1
you must feel great after such a difficult time training.
What kind of work do you have in mind?
Thank you all! Ladytrucker, I am looking for any type of work initially as I am inexperienced but ideally Class 1. Do you know of anything in the London area or even further afield but I would prefer to be within a reasonable distance of London…

If that’s the area you fancy working in I’d take a trip round there and knock on doors i don’t think it would be too long before you got something
You could try calling in at Saints Transport - you’ll have to look up their address in your local Yellow Pages - or any of the dozens of other airfreight transport companies in the Heathrow area.
** They could be listed under ‘Road Haulage’ …(or alternatively ‘Freight Forwarding’.)
I read somewhere that Christian Salvesen run out of the Airfreight Perishables Terminal, you could try them as well.
Several ‘overnight parcels’ and ‘pallet network’ firms also have depots in the area - I’m fairly sure !
Good Luck with your jobsearch.
