Try K & S Freighters
Ryans at warrambool ( spelling)
Scotts Of Mt Gambier
Hendersons Transport at Bordertown i think
Diamond Bros at Ballarat
Success Transport at Geelong.

that are company's in your area. or if ya keen for a move. Try:
Shaws of Darwin
Betts Transport at Walcha
Rob Pilon Transport at Dubbo
Cockburn Transport WA

There are heaps. go onto the transport newspaper called OwnerDriver. They have a webpage too. Hope that is a start.

Cheers

id stay away from working for a transport company direct, the way they are going down at the moment you wont know where you stand.

If you go and work for a labour hire company atleast you have job security, if a company they sub you to goes broke then you'll still have a job next week, they will just place you somewhere else.

I thought Scotts of MG went broke??

No. That was Scotts Refrigerated of Sydney.

I doubt old Scotty (of Mt Gambier) will ever go broke.

Go to any half reasonable roadhouse and get the Owner Driver mag/newspaper. There's Always at least 3 pages of jobs going.

If you cant get a job from there you aint trying

wouldn't mind dump trucks that would be cool but getting one of those jobs is near impossible unless you know people

[SeXC]

where are you? plenty of mining jobs over here, the trick isnt knowing someone, that gets you nowhere, its doing a crap job to start with and working your way up..... you have to make sacrifices to get where you want to be.

[tregs]

im in hamilton vic i dont mind jobs if it gets me somewhere

[JONESY_XR6]

Well here its not what ya know its who ya know. Such is life...

[SeXC]

in wa mines, who you know means nothing until you talk manager, if you want a job, and you get a crappy job and work your way up to it. (unless you have done the exact smae thing before.)

[JONESY_XR6]

Understand where ya comming from. I started off as a "nipper". Its amazing to see people Brown nose managment and then become a superintendant in a role they no f-all about.

[tregs]

good news i guess i have a interview in adelaide driving for linfox i have to drive there sunday as the interview is monday not sure what to say ?

[Full Noise]

Just be upfront and don’t beat around the bush if they want an answer. Try not to be nervous, or if you are, try not to show it.


Good luck. I hope it all goes well for you.

[JONESY_XR6]

Might see you up hear then...They have a huge contract with BHP.
