That's a shame as the is a few jobs around here Hastings/Eastbourne driving 7.5 tonne box vans
for removal company's. 20-25k a year. Some nights out and a bit of France/Spain but not bad work.

I think I posted in the wrong internet help forum

I'm semi-retired ill. For the previous 25 years I worked in the earthmoving industry, operating Dozers, Dumpies, Excavators, Frontloaders, rollers, Scrapers... basically playing in the sandpit :woohoo:
Before that I was a Winemaker for 20 years, starting in the Goulburn Valley then Seymour and finishing up in Red Hill, all in Victoria.
Whilst all that happened I had six kids, 3 wives and enough memories to last a lifetime plus my Vintage and Veteran and Classic Car Collection.

its annoying because iv got to pass another test to drive 7.5T stuff then another one so i can tow a bigger caravan as the one we have is a little small for 7 of us(caravan is a 4 berth) the max i can drive is 3.5T

im going in for my hgv licence and my b+e in the very near future once iv saved up

ahh the joys of only having a licence for 3 years

I'm at the other end I've lost my class one when I retired and I've not long lost the 7.5t

Not to add insult to injury but you will have to do your CPC every 5 years as well and take it from me that's a complete
waste of 25hrs and god knows how much money.

A quick shot of my current workplace. (I forgot to add this the other day)

That's why I gave up on the class 1. Even the 7.5 t requires a medical every year when you get older so I let that go as well.

yeah forgot about that, oh the joy

but i would honestly put up with all the faffing to not be in a warehouse again. done that for 2 years and hated every bit of it and ended up having a fight with the manager at my last job because he was a bellend and allways tried to put me down and generally just be a dick (throwing things at me calling me names and so on)

so after flooring him i quit that job

I'm retired but keep busy with my classic cars Tr6,Lancia Fulvia scratching on my old Kawasaki Gpz900r and in the middle of restoring 1980 Yamaha xt250 trail bike. So plenty to do,as well as the Jimny jlx.
