    Same here seems to be more "market activity".

    I think its becuase there is not the 4 days off in a row we had last year were people too the 3 in the middle off to have almost 11 days off in total and people are actually back at work so sending out the "i need" messages to pimps.

          I always wanted do the horn on one of those articulated vehicles. Hmmm I think I'm coming down with something.

            I am a logistics contractor - design warehouses, logistics networks etc. Basically lots of number bashing then some suggestions on what kit to use etc.

            I also have a plan B which does involve driving trucks. Like this week. Client doesnt want me on site so been hauling stuff round for Argos, in the middle of dying of flu.

              I had one once where they had replace the air horn on the cheap with one from a car. Now to me a horn should be proportionate to the size of the lorry....I felt like I had lost a limb with this puny horn.

                How much do you get for hauling stuff around? Can you do it without having to drive a massive lorry?

                  Rate is £16/hour for C+E work Ltd rate. You can get C1 if you have had your licence since before 1 Jan 1997 - but that pays naff all as every man jack has the licence. Probably £6.50 an hour.

                  Not going to set the world on fire but done 30 hours this week which is 500 squid that I wouldn't have seen.
