Anyone got a good word to say about this lot
What area are you in?
They pay absolute peanuts.

And you prefer Monkey nuts?
However you want to interpret that!
I’m just grateful to be employed Beez. I have more uniforms in my gaff than Arco.
Max out your hours.
In short, no. Never heard a good word about them
They have a couple of depots in my neck of the woods (Yorkshire and Humberside), and like it’s been previously said, they have a reputation for being a bad payer. Someone mentioned £8.50 per hour Class 1, the last time I heard. I see a range of artics and drawbars with Hiabs, so I presume they’re one of those outfits that wants every ticket under the sun, decades of experience, and expect to get it for peanuts.
The only other thing I’ve hear about them is that they have driver facing cameras in their trucks, but that’s from another thread.

Correct in all thoughts, so what other info do you want?

They will pay parking in designated truckstop s no msa they like you to use truckstop their own yards ind estates but only if safe other hauliers yards who they have agreements with
