HGV Driver in Newport, Newport
on 26 September 2023
Not bad good for new driver
Good place to work for a new driver. Long hours average pay but a good starting place in my opinion for a new Hgv driver. Fleet of vehicles are ok also

Shambles
Management are in shambles Get you to drive 1.5 hours each way waste £20 in diesel to be told they haven't got enough packs and can you come back on Monday. This is after being told to wait in a room for 45mins. This is on a Wednesday to then get a text on Thursday saying there are no jobs Dont even bother with them
HGV Class 1 Driver in Dafen, Carmarthenshire

Easy going and varied work
Owens had been good to me during my 8 years off and on. Mostly staff are amazing. Always helpful. Sometimes planners are not as good as others but as long as you can tell them, it's not doable, they will usually do something about the route. Communication is key. Owens take on new drivers usually which not many companies do.

Clean work new trucks
Can’t fault it, left to get on with your day. Quite flexible with time off when required, and office staff are friendly enough, driver trainers on hand for advice.
