Teaching sailing/windsurfing and powerboating was/is my favourite job. Plus with being a qualified senior instructor - I dont have to do much, just tell everyone else what to do!

I used to do that Phil when I lived down in Southampton - used to drive all sorts of cars and the pay was amazing. You got double time for any hours after your first 6 if they ran past 6PM. Double time sundays, bonus for 12hr shifts over night

Drove brand new cars before they were even on General release:

Landrover Discovery TD6
Range Rover Sports
Landrover Defender LWB
Jags all sort
Mini's
Renault's including 3/4 CLio V6's
Honda's
Nissan
Import cars bought into the country
POV - private vehicles going abroad

best and easiest vehicles though are Transits shifted 35 of them one night; really well balanced and easy to manouvre - we put over 2000 of them on board a boat heading to the far east

i can vouch for this. i work for ANC. most driving jobs need you to be 25+, but i got in cos my uncle owns the Fife depot.

i do the Pitlochry run. i love it. rarely pushed for time, and only about 30+ to be done.

up at 7 on weekdays though, but weekends off. about 50 hours a week.

Yeah Matt we use SES quite a lot down here. They travel From Donny in the morning, work all day then drive back home again! long days thay do when working around east anglia.

Ludacris- Trackmen do all sorts. Usually on the shovel, lifting/moving stuff around on site. They do all the labouring work really. Balfour Beatty trackmen get around 26-27,000 a year + overtime. Im a Hallade technical assistant for Balfour Beatty, basically i hold a tape measure and a staff Not built for shovelling.
