HI Uplift, I used to cover from Leicester, coventry, Birmingham, up to Harrogate/Manchester leeds
So I think they will be looking for someone that doesnt mind a bit of driving.
They are a bit disorganised when it comes to planning a route so one job could be in manchester and then the next one could be in Coventry and, they would expect you to work from nottingham and try make you travel there in your own time.
Being in Sheffield I did manage to sort out a compromise that If i went into the Depot first thing in the morning that I would give the 1/2 hour but going straight to the job I booked from home.

Hope this helps

Further to snapmans post on the state of the industry, I would like to add that in Australia the situation is worse than s##t. I was made redundant recently from a position I assumed was going to see me through to retirement and have become disillusioned with the whole industry and the employers in this industry. Panic has set in and saving costs of wages has taken precedent over loyalty. employers demand undying loyalty from employees but this only goes one way and as soon as things get tough it does not mater how committed you have been or how many unpaid hours you have put in you are discarded like an oily rag.
If there are any employers out there looking for a dedicated experienced employee with over twenty years experience in the lift truck industry,who believe in loyalty being a 2 way street I am available and willing to start anywhere on the chain of command.
