School-- traction trainee--secondman--driver ! 30 years later I'm still here and very happy (that's unless I'm doing a 3am start)

The money is what has been offered by the hh management . it has not been accepted yet. I have not put in all the **** that goes with it, but I would be highly surprised if it gets the yes vote. The T&Cs of most freight companies are quite **** these days, so I suppose it is all about the money...

To all of you who are applying for a job with HH I wish you all the best. I am a driver with heavy haul and was talking with my line manager about the recruitment of trainees. He is adamant that once you get the job, you could be posted anywhere that there are driver vacancies, and that could...

I was declined leave next week, but luckily with a bit of free day swapping with some of my work mates, I can make the recruitment day. Hope its worth it
