Callum has finally found some work. No matter that it is only for 6-8 weeks but its a start. Just what he needed, a step in the right direction.
We thought he was going for an induction today but he ended up working for 8 hours, some of it supervised, some of it solo. He answered loads of questions from me and talked to his Dad about things I wouldn't understand, like grease nipples and hoses and such, in his quiet way. He was grubby and tired but mentally calculating the dollars. And here is the kicker...
For a lad who doesn't have a truck licence or even a car licence he will be driving a truck like this with tyres bigger than he is. As Cal is just 6 ' tall it must be a big truck. It seems anyone can drive one after induction.
He is working again tomorrow at 6 am and headed off to bed early. Hopefully it will all be big from here on in.
Yay for Callum! That truck is massive. I'm sure it seems like just yesterday he was sitting in the sandpit playing with a Tonka truck just like this one! Hope it all goes well for him and leads on to lots more work.
