Same question asked on yahoo, here is the best reply...
" Your question already holds the answer. When you stated -
"i am used to working out doors and driving all around the country for hardly any money as i was a door to door salesman and worked long hours every day in the cold sometimes for no money at all"
That is what trade plate driving is all about, with a poor wage of around £6.50 pr hour for a set number of hours (usually too few) regardless of how long you may be out on the road. It can be a dreadful job in the winter, trying to get lifts from drivers that are weary of strangers thumbing on the side of the road nowadays. (Most trade plate vehicle deliveries are one way transfers!). In my opinion, you would be far better off looking for a van driving job in the meantime, which will also give you experience of customer relations, route planning, paperwork etc.
