A W Jenkinson Employee Reviews

Good job and pays well and new trucks. Can be a bully culture depending on what planner you have. No work life balance unless you are one of the favourites who always got back first

HGV Class 1 Driver (Former Employee) - Lockerbie, Dumfries and Galloway - 19 November 2019

I enjoyed my time working here. The job was clear and well planned knew exactly what needed to be done in any one day as well as the timescales the job needed to be completed in.

Good company to work for.

HGV Class 1 Driver (Current Employee) - Bo'ness - 26 August 2019

Probably the best driving job I have had, if your willing to put in a shift and adhere to health and safety then you will be left alone to get on with the job. Good pay compared to most.

Pros

Good salary, Meal allowance, Night shfft bonus, Night out money, Double time bank holiday working, Cpc modules.

Cons

Can be long hours. Waiting time on some sites can be long.

HGV Class 1 walking floors

class one walking floor driver (Former Employee) - Penrith - 29 December 2017

Working from Penrith depot four nights out per week, early starts, sometimes late finishes, can be dirty work delivering forest products, waste amongst other things. Good quality vehicles, Volvos and Scania, good quality trailers, well maintained, good salary, overnight parking paid. Left up to you to do the jobs. Easy work after the first few months.

Pros

Good vehicles, trailers and wages.

Cons

Bit too far to travel.

Not a bad company to work for

HGV Class 1 Driver (Current Employee) - Bo'ness, Falkirk - 31 October 2017

Mon-fri barely any 6th day run ins but you work your hours! All the kit is under 3yrs old and your parking is paid! Sometimes the workload is heavy and you have a late finish on a Friday
