Dont waste your time

HGV Class 1 Driver (Former Employee) - Chippenham - 2 December 2022

You're just basically a glorified bin man most of the time. Planners have shocking attitudes and are on weird power trips. Management are poor. Wage structure is pathetic and impossible to work out, if you do query the wages you can never get hold of anyone to sort it. Trailers are old and ready for scrap yard but units are pretty good. All in all, Don't bother, its a complete waste of time

Pros

only one and thats pretty good tractor units

Cons

everything else

poor man management and poor pay.

Class 1 C + E Articulated Driver (Former Employee) - Sittingbourne - 11 June 2023

Never paid the correct money and always over worked. Poor management, and would never work for this company again. Since I started working for them, I had nothing but constant problems with my pay and HR were never helpful. I did overtime, and the money just never worked out correct from week to week. Really disappointed with my experience, and would not recommend them as a company to work for.

They don't care

LGV 1 Driver (Former Employee) - Chippenham, Wiltshire - 23 April 2023

Really poor management and planners have no idea what the job is like and what you do. They want to much from you with poor training given. Expected to wear your own cloths to work in no uniform given for some time after starting. Plan you no where near Facilities to wash so your often go through week with no showers. Expect you to contuine drivibg a lorry with issues like airleaks or bold tyres. Will leave you a letter terminating your contract with poor to no excuse. They won't work with you to get the work they want compleat. Seems to be a us and them Mentality with planners and drivers. Worst company I've worked. They will put you in a situation on a daily basis to lose your licence for their gain. They simply don't care about you at all. You won't get back till late on Friday and you will get harrisment from planners texting you on personal phone about the following week before you even have your time off. You will be expected to put your taco on break while being loaded and you can't go stop at a Service they will watch your every move on tracker. They won't reply to messages once they have left q letter in your pigon hole to Terminate your job. Rude and Inconsiderate management. Simply don't care about your well being at all.
