Oh and were based in Radclife, Not Heywood


Yes sorry I do remember my mate saying Radcliffe. He works for us but did a bit for FAM, He almost joined your place last year. He actually picked up a couple of our rigids whilst he was moonlighting. Luckily most of them were going to the Leeds depot.

Yes that's the trailer that was in our compound, iirc it's still there. If it is i'll get a snap of it

what sort of money do you get compared to normal drivers?


I dont actually drive them as my job. I stand behind them checking what they're doing. I just moved it a couple of hundred meters as i was in the operaters seat so he let me have a go. They get paid quite well though i think, £40k+.

I hate the noise tampers make, only thing worse is a roadrailer with a tamping bank on it, shake them selves to bits
