they have a new advert for class one tramper. If it’s what you want apply and then ring them, that’s what I did. Probably speak to Nick Innes

Reed boardalls is definitely worth a shout, was good with me as a new pass, and I travel from ferrybridge, not a bad commute really

I work at a different depot, but they're looking for drivers. Also the work.
Offal, carcass and blood from chickens, pigs and turkeys.
Have to mention the worst bits 😬👀

Shipley Transport
Mark Lee Transport
PD Bannisters

They are all constantly looking for drivers, phone them or turn up. They are always looking for a reason by the way

Expect Distribution

Woodland Group at Dewsbury
Turners at Castleford - definitely will take you with no experience
Maritime is always worth a try
Stobarts at Sherburn, Logistics people are their agency

Phone company's, turn up.

I applied for a job in that area the other week, HR phoned to ask a few extra questions because they had had 95 applications, so don't just rely on websites.

Not a great time to be looking for work round here at the moment it seems
