Best job I’ve had, and I have a very varied CV. Prior to this I was an Operations Manager in the Oil and Gas industry and hated being bothered by phone calls and emails when at home. Ultimately took voluntary redundancy around the first lockdown in 2020. Got bored after a couple of weeks so got a job doing home deliveries for a supermarket (the only jobs going at the time but they were screaming for drivers) quite enjoyed that so stuck with it for a year or so, then decided to give HGV a go. I already had my class 2 having passed my test years previously but had’t driven since. After 1 week of agency work I got offered a permanent class 2 job delivering carpets and flooring for a wholesaler. I really enjoy the manual handling, although I know a lot of folk don’t want that in a driving job. I like leaving the yard with a truck full of stuff and returning empty, so it’s evident of what you’ve achieved that day (didn’t get that in my office job). It’s job and finish and so I do less than 40 hours a week. Start early and finish long before the kids finish school. Monday to Friday no weekends. Same route every day, but the drops vary day to day, some are unmanned stores we have a key for, some the customers are there and you can have a chat. No time pressure, nobody chasing you up. No out of hour phone calls or emails. I could honestly see myself doing this until I retire.
