Pollock Scotrans Ltd Employee Review

Work work work.

HGV Class 1 Driver tramper (Current Employee) - Newcastle upon Tyne - 3 October 2022

The job itself is fine. Trucks ain’t bad. trailers are past there best. Traffic office staff tell you want you want to hear be it the truth or just a load of bull so the job gets done. Money isn’t bad but could be better, that applies to every job thou. All in all I’ve working in worse places and better places but every job is what you make of it, just don’t let them run you down and it all works out eventually.

Pros

Left alone once you get jobs

Cons

Wages. Hours and office staff attitude towards drivers

Management poor planning poor. Trailer poor. Loss contracts. Track you all the time, until they go home. Stay away.

HGV 1 Driver (Former Employee) - Birtley - 29 September 2022

Management poor Planners poorTrailers poor. Lost a load of contracts. Not POLLOCKS any more, Run by gregory. Not good. MY advice is stay away Not a good Company to work for. Truck get used when you finished shift. They want you to keep truck clean, but with your own monies. No reinburshment. Stay stay away. Nobody in the community or on the he Road like them
