There's a clue in the job title for one of the reasons for a so called driver shortage. It's not so much there's a lack of licenced/qualified drivers, it's TRAMPING! low pay (for the amount of time away from home), road works, congestion, driver hours, CPC, health and safety, let along the company specific rules. The bigger the company the more managers having meetings to arrange more meetings to dream up new rules to make a drivers job even more stressful!! Some of the larger haulage/ transport companies are going to have to change their business model asap. Less reliant on tramping and back to shift work. Obviously more complex than that but that's some of the basics. I would suggest that most drivers are uneducated and just want to drive a big shiny new truck from A to B with minimal hassle and stress. Where do I get an application form?
You get a basic , nights out and then percentage of each load but no one knows how much the load is. £650-700 a week for 5 days tramping same as most places
@@SB-hr5yr in all fairness bulk haulage isn’t bad albeit a bit messy at times but I don’t mind it at all I also tramp but I do 4 on 4 off which I think is the perfect balance in this job
Hi. We work out of Invergordon a lot but the depots are in Bo'ness and Lockerbie. Please email drivingjobs@awjtransport.co.uk - they will be able to tell you what is available.
Still loving the job after 4 months easy work and as dirty or clean as you make it Never pushed you just do the best you can and they ask for no more Moneys brilliant for what we do Try working on a farm if you want 100 hours a week and low wages then you can moan 👌👍
Done tramping loads of times. Mainly hauling sea containers from Felixstowe and Tilbury etc and brick carriers working out of one brickyard to another etc. Get yourself trained up with lorry loaders and cranes, then ADR etc then go self employed as an agency business.
Every one of Jenkies I see on the A82 drive like absolute loonies ! See one of Jenkies coming and head for the grass for fear of losing a mirror , see them in BSW at Corpach abuse the shovel drivers because they are under so much pressure ! You deserve to be short of drivers
They take your night out money if u run out of time in your home town penny pinching company watching you all the time glad that geezer dropped there trailer

@@DriverExtraordinaire-qn6gt Not worth it being out all week. Not surprised they're always looking for drivers. No as bad as Keedwell!
@@SB-hr5yr I don’t work for them tho I only spoke to one of their drivers whilst in a que he was running out of Runcorn
@@DriverExtraordinaire-qn6gt sorry. Should have replied in the other section. Silly me 😂
