have a look about for work as a driver, most will put you through the tests required if you show apptitude and willingness to learn and work hard.

I would go for the 360 as the 180 just does'nt have the same reach and it sounds better.

360 fella...that way you get about on a lowloader instead of holding every fooker up on the road like you would in a 180...

I did mine with Clive Hurt Training Services through work (I only did loadall's though:() but they do training on all JCB's etc... They are based in Leyland - I can pm you their address and phone/fax number if you like? The fella that trained us was part of the dancing diggers display team and was the one on "You Bet" years ago picking up bottle tops with one:)

nearly worked for this firm, they are very local to me and I know kevin quite well, do you work for them?

no i dont work for balls just spend a lot of time working for tarmac.
this photo is on the A1 at newark, been on this job about 3 yrs :thumb:

hi mate thanks for the advice:thumb: Yeah the job i do at the moment is to rewarding and it quite low pay to be honest:(

So this should be much better for me.

when you say a driver what do you mean, friend??

thank you all for your comments and best wishes for 2007:thumb:
