Need a driver...

[crackers]

I need a person who can drive and also supply a van or truck in my area.

The person would be helping me pick up things and load them, as well as be driving for me.

The reason I ask is i am not old enough, and have been using my Granpa to drive the truck.

Thanks.

Have you tried putting an ad in your local paper? or even put some signs up at supermarkets or in shop windows looking for a driver?

Or maybe a sub contractor. Someone I can call upon for when ever I do pickups. They drive and help out and I pay them 150 for the day or similar.

Hey Crackers,
have you tried contacting your local job network office. If you can offer about 15 hours minimum per week you will be able to recruit somone at no cost to you and may even get offered wage incentives (between $3,000 - $5000) for taking on a long term unemployed person or a parent returning to the workforce.

thats a great idea.

Crackers, what about just looking up 'Man with a Van' type companies and seeing how much they charge to pick up for you?

[crackers]

okay, I wont have enought work for a job network, only about 1 day a week.

Also idk where to find the "man with a van" type people

maybe put a small ad in the local paper? saying need a driver for 1 day a week with the potential for more, must have own van!

Well I found a company!

The guy who runs it is also a bit of a entrepreneur.

He runs 15 trucks and is cheap!

Very impressed by the service he offers. Lets see how it will go for my next pickup.

Found him via the Australia governments job website. Gave me a call and offered his business's service to me.

All good now lets hope.
