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.

It's not a bad job. Most deliveries/collections are decent, that are suitable for artics.Generally OK run. I did have a few problems w some staff but I think they've moved on.Some trucks are tired but they are upgrading them all eventually.
