Constantly mess wage and the local drivers dirty cabs,never cleaned
Class 1 UK tramping (Current Employee) - UK - 30 August 2022
Indeed featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedNot paid right and don't get replies for pay issues, organisation is terrible, the company favourites get the best lorries and the rest are shared between anyone who still needs a job, local drivers don't care about state of cabs so your gambling whether your going to get a clean one or dirty disgusting local driver, units aren't assigned so damage to interior is never pinpointed, loads back to ireland can waiting on break to 15 - 20 hours on a weekend before you get work and no one tells you anything to let you know what's happening your left in the dark

Stay away
HGV Class 1 Driver (Former Employee) - Lurgan - 16 July 2023
As a past driver was good but when culina took over it went down the tube transport managers became available till foreigners which then looked after there own and left you stranded for ages waiting on a back load home and talked to the local drivers like dirt and as for the ceo’s young people who haven’t got a clue and just think they can treat drivers the heartbeat of the firm like dirt so be warned stay away
Pros
Free headaches

Chaotic environment
HGV Class 1 Driver (Former Employee) - Lurgan, County Armagh - 29 September 2022
Very poor communication, sending you to the wrong address, not giving you the correct information, having to chase after the information you need. Rude people on the phone who swear at you, when you won't dance to their tune, because they have made a mistake. Be aware.. if they make a mistake, it's no problem, but if you make a mistake, that's a different matter, and the management that supported you when you took the job, will totally distance themselves from you, and give you no support. When you call the office, no one answer's the phone, you have to continue to call , onto someone picks up. "You know, we're not calling for the fun if it, we need information". People in the office have no idea about what's involved in driving a truck, with a 40ft trailer on behind, we're not driving a Ferrari... all lorries have speed restrictors. Planners, plan your loads too tight, so if there's road works, or congestion, and you need to catch the ferry, well you're going to miss it. They throw you in at the deep end and it's sink or swim, and if you're a new pass then you're on your own. They'll send you a text message with just the post code, and you have to ask for the remainder of the address. Money is good, but this place is chaos. This place is good if you want experience, but few stay long term.

Looking after the staffs interests
Fleet Officer (Former Employee) - Craigavon - 24 April 2022
I thoroughly enjoyed my time with them. They have so many opportunities to go further in your career, even though I was there for a short time due to distance, I worked with a fantastic bunch and would highly recommend Morgan McLernon if anyone is looking to work for the organisation.
Pros
Offered a good salary and were quite relaxed of dresscode
Cons
The hours were long but that was the nature of the job.

Good for beginners

Pros
Interesting work

Low wages for living in lorry job

Good place
HGV Class 1 Driver (Current Employee) - Lurgan, County Armagh - 1 April 2020
Had a great time in Morgans they are flexible and will work round your needs. The office staff are mostly pretty well glued in a lot of ex drivers so rarely get sent round the country for a short cut.

Warehouse Operative (Former Employee) - Silverwood - 12 February 2020
While working at Morgan McLernon I was able to make several new friends and I got along with all the staff. This job required me to be self-aware and need to make deadlines. As well as that, I needed to be flexible and be focused at all times.
Pros
Good fun

Good Place to Work.
HGV Class 1 Driver (Former Employee) - Craigavon - 26 February 2017
I found The Company a good place to work, but as in all jobs, you need to put in the time to make good wages. As a result this tends to have a negative effect on your home life!!
