[QUOTE="Pennine Ploughing, post: 7917684, member: 999"] Aye the bulk blower job is not that bad, mostly bins now, regular work, different farms every day, home most nights if not all nights, busy in winter when the days are short, and not the weather to do much. Please early finishes in summer, and you can take your holidays when you want. Driving hours usually not a problem, and WTD means every Sunday off, and Saturday every fortnight, more time to see family and plan days out without having to work at last minute. Best bit of advice I can give, is drive directly for a feed firm, not a sub contractor, as feed firm run the lorries as an evil necessity to shift their products, and in general its easier on your work life balance. Where as a haulage contractor runs the lorries to make money and will be pushed on harder, running out your hours [/QUOTE]
