Back on the Road

Well the Lorryday blog is back on Monday.

I got a job with a large local firm. They seem a really good company.
They were also the first company I emailed after losing my job because they were an outfit I had admired out on the road and wanted to work for.

They have proved to be pretty decent because although they emailed back saying they didn't have any vacancies at the time, they did take my mobile number. A lot of the other companies didn't even reply.
Well, on Thursday they rang and asked me to come in for an interview.

Everything went really well and I was offered a job with one of the biggest and best company's and Leicestershire, what a week its turned out to be.
First a bronze medal in the boat race and then this.

I'm covering the holiday's so Ill be in a different wagon most weeks. 18 tonnes and 7.5 t, but I was told I would get my own vehicle when they get a new 7.5 t driver, that's OK, I am just happy to get work.

I have been out of work since April and I thought It would be a lot longer.

I chased a lot of company's and I got a lucky break that they remembered me and chased up my begging letter's!, It must of made me look keen instead of desperate!

I picked up my phone, my uniform and my Hi Viz today ( no I didn't wear it home) and they ordered me some work boots for Monday.

I don't know what vehicle i'm in yet but I am going to see the Bloke in charge of my section on Saturday and he will show me all the procedures and show me what I will be doing on Monday.

Ill post some pics on Monday and I hope that the powers that be will let me continue to write a daily blog.

Ill see you on the road.
