After a year trying to get a job, applying for hundreds of positions. I finally got a job with Boske Road Transport. Its a Sub-Contract as a driver, driving one of their vans. I was told the van is contracted to StarTrack Express and all of my deliveries and pick-ups will only be with them. Boske owns the van and pay for every expense the van has. I'm Sub-Contracted as a Driver and need to have a ABN (Australian Business Number) or a ACN (Australian Company Number). So I'll re-register my Company and all I have to do is invoice Boske every week my hours. The Sub-Contract is paying $25 a hour, which is more then I was getting with my own 2 tonne truck Sub-contracting with Team Taxi Trucks.
I have 3 induction days, one tomorrow with is only 2 hours. And 2 full days as a off-sider in the van as I have to learn Startracks scanning machine for loading and unloading the van at Startracks Depo. Then I start driving the van on the 14th of August. The person that hired me said, they are at the moment working on setting up a office in Toowoomba. And seeing how I go, their plan at this stage is to then put me in a van to do the line haul runs to Toowoomba and back to Brisbane. I'm not expecting to get that. But atleast I have a job and will be off the dole soon. Then its just a matter of putting my plan in to action, to benefit from the up and coming housing and stock market bubbles pops. So I can buy a house or a large block of land to put a house on.
Finding work these days can be really challenging and i think this applies to all over the world. So a big congratulations to you on your new job.
All the best moving forward on your new career venture 👌😎

These inductions are unpaid. But Employment Plus knows about them and I was told to keep lodging my fortnightly dole form. It won't be cancelled till I put in the area of how much I got paid for work in the last 2 weeks column. Its at a maximum of $1000 a fortnight. So at least I will have some money available till my first pay.
