Transport Management

[astondog]

After 25 years as a lorry driver I had to stop work after Major surgery to my legs. I gained both National and International CPCs and a BSc in Transport Management while getting over these ops. I am now looking to ease myself back into work although I'm classed as disabled (I'm mobile but need a walking stick) any suggestions would be welcome.

In the U.S. there are a number of companies that teach new truck drivers.  The instructors I know are all well experienced OTR drivers.  Perhaps you could check with such companies in the UK? Best of luck!

See if this BBC link gives you some ideas.

In your years of working for other Transport Managers, maybe you could contact some them for suggestions. They may well know of someone in the trade about to retire, leave, or be drummed out before it becomes common knowledge.

Another tack; try Local Athorities. They need qualified CPC holders and Transport savvy people to run their home to school and subsidised bus transport. Although most use outside contractors, they still require qualified transport peolple to organise it all and prepare the contracts etc. They also run fleets of vehicles for road maintenance, property repairs, parks, street lighting, rubbish collection, education supplies etc. etc.

Some Univerities run their own student transport. There's another possibility.

Good luck.

This "Editing by Answerbank" is more than a joke. It seems that we are now not permitted to write answers using paragraphs, thus making sense easier to appreciate, and layout easier on the eye.

 

When trying to answer a question I try to be factual, concice and relatively easy to understand. This careful construction is part of and integral to the answer.

 

Why give us the facility through the much touted improved text editor, then remove the effects that it produces? What is the real advantage according to Answerbank to have a wadge of grey and forbidding text rather than one thought one paragraph, and those paragraphs separated by a bit of space?
