Over the last few months ive been reflecting over certain parts of my last few years, and what sticks out the most was my time trucking over in North America/Canada although at the time of leaving Canada and returning to England.2 1/4 years on the love of North American trucking hasnt faded in fact its becoming an obsession once more.Im going to post quite a few post in the coming months about what we've been upto in the last couple of years and then see where we go after that.
I secured a job driving a low loader for a local company although they are actually a Scottish company with a North West Division,Souters Sports are a company who specialise in the renovations and manufacture of sports fields whether it be for the local council or a major football team,working on pitches for Manchester United,Liverpool,Stoke City,Bolton Wanderers and Preston North End.Also building pitches for St Helen Rugby leagues new Stadium.Ive done flat work before roping and sheeting and although had little bits of plant i have never worked solely on this type of work before so for the first few weeks there was qutie alot of blagging going on (alright an extreme amount lol).It became big boyz toys and after a few months of getting dirty (i Hate been dirty)i started to enjoy it and the hourly rate was very good.If the transport was a little slow i would help working on site whether driving a tractor,dumper,Excavator or just the good old shovel.I did enquire about the old ERF sat in the corner of the yard and was informed that yes it get used as well (inbetween spending alot of time in the workshop Lol)
Golf Clubs,Bowling Greens School fields polo pitches we worked on,draining,scarifying,vertidraining and i along with 1 other driver would supply each site with what ever plant and materials were required,so after the end of the 1st summer i was asked to stay on (this was only supposed to be a temp job and i had recieved other job offers which although were a little less money weren't as physical)so after a little persauding i stayed.
