Pros
New trucks, clean work. Thats where it ends
Cons
Bad management Drivers treated like dirt Will push your hours to the max then ring and pester you to get back as they dont have enough trucks to go around. Can sit around hours waiting for a unit. Useless transport staff that deliberatly aim to make your shift worse in some cases. Actually witnessed this first hand whilst in the office the once. No set start times. 12 hour window and when there i had awful weeks where my start time would span the full 12 hour window then they expect you to reduce your rest to help them out after they just done you over (and laugh about it) Badly planned runs. Clearly planned or routed by people that have no idea or any road experience. Will start you early by 4 hours in some cases so your shift isnt a short one. You will sit around hours and hours waiting for trailer to be loaded when they knew full well it would not be ready when they asked you to start. When you get back to the yard ready to go home after a 11/12 hour shift they will send you back out with no warning to do more collections. Will route you to a night out run and not even tell you until your in the transport office. Paperwork is through the roof. Most of it is not needed and if you make the slightest mistake prepare yourself to be dragged in the office. I was taken in the office because i stated my break started at 20:15 but the tacho recorded it at 20:16 Will plan runs they are impossible to do following the law and tacho rules. Unless you can fly you have no hope. You will get dragged in the office over the slightest of things and i mean the slightest of things. Some of the supervisors in transport are quite amazing in how they think it is acceptable to speak to and treat staff. Well i hope i have helped with my review. I have missed loads of things to say about this place. Job was fairly easy but the BS will quickly overcome you. I have never worked in such a worse place. The only hope you have with this place is if your on the agency paid by the hour, in which case your quids in because you will have plenty of time sitting around due to the bad organisation. I could easily write a book about this place. Some of things that happened while i was there would shock alot of people. I honestly wish i never took the job when it was offered to me.
