Agency here in Chippenham used to want drivers - since the crunch things have dried up.
My mate who works at Honda has a class 1 is now on the 4 month "rest" - he went looking for a bit of driving work.
Agency owners is actually a mate of his and used to beg him to drive for him at weekends - now he can't offer anything. Ain't got enough to keep his regulars going.
Have another mate who drives car transporters - (good money) - he has been on a 3 day week since last October. No one is buying cars so there are non to shift.
Have a few lorry driver mates on the RD aircooled forum - they all say things are quiet. Some do regular runs - now they do it once a day instead of twice.
Another with a class 1 got laid off just before xmas (last in -first out).
Took him till january to find another job. Drives frozen chickens now. Has to work nights and weekends though.
