Leedale Ltd Employee Review

Poorly ran and no care for drivers

Tipper Driver (Former Employee) - Alfreton, Derbyshire - 5 February 2021

The first days at the company are great you are given a fairly new truck and the management seems fair. Although a week into working here i found out wages are not propperly calculated, i didnt get paid for the second week i worked at the company to then have my number blocked so i couldnt contact them to ask why. They do not maintain the fleet correctly and faults on vehicles are always pointed towards the driver. I had 2 days where i was sat doing nothing and paid the minimum hours as there was no trucks to go out delivering on. There was 4 drivers all sat doing nothing due to bad planning and management. I worked here 3 weeks receiving no ppe and being required to wear my own. There was no induction although any errors on tickets was treated like it was the drivers fault for not knowing. All in all a bad company with terrible management

Cons

Long hours, no pay, incorrect pay, poorly maintained fleet.

Driver (Current Employee) - Alfreton, Derbyshire - 1 June 2022

Each day you are given your work for the next day, going from site to site. The fitters and transport manager are very conscientious and the office staff who plan the work are very friendly. I enjoy being the face of the company on site to promote the company and the vehicles are brand new - around 3 years old

Long Hours . Poor Vehicles

Driver (Current Employee) - Alfreton - 10 May 2022

If you want a job where you can be out of the house 15 hours a day , this is the place for you. No work life balance , not hard work (that's if you are in a well maintained vehicle)
