    Just wondering what the story is with jobs for commercial drivers with the likes of DHL, DPD, Fastway etc?
    Or is the industry difficult to get into

    anything in commercial delivery business is cut throat now, that accompanied by amount of office work and safety and other regulations to comply with make most iv'e heard of wishing they avoided it ,most is contract based and if companies were able to make money from it they will not sub-let work

    Plenty of work if you have your own van and pay for your own wear tear and diesel.

    might be wrong but someone told me a few delivery companies are looking for drivers in cities, might be on Fas website, but some companies don't advertise there anymore, might be worth a look on other sites,better getting wage and van + fuel than supplying imo
