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.

Pros

Money can be good while cab hopping but will be horrible doing so for any amount of time.

Cons

No life and they will make you work till late Fridays because they are rubbish planners

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.

Decent

Driver (Former Employee) - Chippenham, Wiltshire - 15 February 2023

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.
