I keep getting TPO jobs which I would usually pass on to someone else if I've got other work, but right now I'm thinking of changing that around.

i was self employed until last sept,when i was offered a utility arb job full time,never looked back,if i was self employed now,i think i would be in the s**t

 

when they put me though UA1,the trainer told us utility arb is a job for life:001_huh:

 

theres loads of work,some of the boys work 7 days a week

 

 

get a utility arb contract,i work for fountains(OCS) and we use lots of contractors,aswell as our own staff

Tree work has really dried up for me, got a few days coming up but basically:thumbdown:

Keeping myself going with agri fencing-if I didn't have that I would be screwed at the moment.

I feel the same. Thirty five years in the industry and it has never been so bad. Trouble is it's been my life!
