nettrucker:
Back in August 2018 you asked about The Range, as you had some work lined up for the week after so not sure what you’re asking for unless it fell through. Btw only looked through your previous posts to see where about’s you’re from.Anyway I’ve got experience of The Range (Gregory’s) up at Thorne. It’s steady work but no the load isn’t secured for you (often the loader has moved the internals to somewhere close to where you’ll need them but obviously it depends on the loader) and they expect it to be done and do check things like time you start to time you leave to see if you’re doing it properly along with your checks. Not sure why you wouldn’t do it anyway, if nothing else you’re getting paid. When I was there I also heard about a lad who got pulled who hadn’t secured some pallets of very light store rubbish that you’re required to bring back to the rdc. We’re talking pallets light enough that you could usually move about and offload by hand. Apparently the driver got a fine plus a warning from plod that they’d be on the look out for Range trucks in the future. A lot of the time weekend runs consisted of store deliveries and running empty to a fulfillment centre (larger furniture, that kind of thing) they have at Rugby for a collection.
