A W Jenkinson

A W Jenkinson Employee Review

Excellent wages - have to work for it.

Driver (Former Employee) - Lockerbie, Dumfries and Galloway - 20 March 2022

AW Jenkinson is a good place to work as a driver. The wages are on par but you will struggle to work them out as you are paid a basic rate then 20% of what your truck makes.Equipment is good and they have no problems getting trailers in and sorting the problem immediately. Work is ok if you are prepared to graft, can be a bit dirty/smelly at times. Management in some offices needs looked at, but majority of planners are spot on.

Pros

Good money

Cons

Long hours, time away from home

Decent company to work for, wage is pretty good for the work. Do what you need to do and the planners leave you alone. Decent bits of kit well maintained.

Really enjoyed working here. Tramping Monday to Friday. If you have a young family do not do it. Try for a day shift job. Overall excellent can’t fault them for anything.
