Pros

Not much driving. Decent enough cash for the job you do.

Under paid expect you to work late.

Driver (Former Employee) - North west - 5 August 2021

If you want to keep your license clean stay away from this job. Expect you to have your break waiting for a load in the yard .you can be on a tacho break and when you get called for a load you are expected to come off it. Even if your not finished it on some days start at 6 and finish at 7 that night for no extra pay looks like they take new drivers on who don’t know about how vosa work.

Pros

None

Cons

Minimum wage job

Would recommend working for this company

Driver (Current Employee) - Deeside, Flintshire - 8 April 2021

A typical day would be 6.00am start having been given my work the night before. Drive up to the quarry for a load of Material to be delivered. Once delivered it would be a quick call to the office to take instructions for next job. The job is as hard as you make it we are given all the right tools for the job ie- we'll equipped trucks and all the tools you need and technology if needed. Once you know what you are doing in the job it becomes easy.

Pros

Work and home life balance

Cons

Might get a late night. But they are few and very far between

Hardworking

Class 2 Driver (Current Employee) - Bolton, Greater Manchester - 6 April 2021

I've worked here now coming up to two years, when you first arrive you get put through your paces I would say to make sure your good enough for the job, pay scheme is fair. Communication at time could be better in where the company is going forward. Work with them they work with you attitude within reason. They do try accommodate your needs. Other than that brilliant work force.

Pros

Quality vehicles

Cons

Communication.
