they mst of changed it since the pay talks i used to get extra for weekend, i dont think i would work a weekend for normal pay but depends how desperate for a job you are plus you have the added nuisance of isotrak, but isnt widnes just fridge work?

Widnes will just be delivering to Tesco stores. There may be some trunking but wouldn’t have thought there will be much of that. You will basically be a Tesco driver but wearing the green (& on less money).

i thought the widnes depot was only fridge work because the middlewich work was being transfered to goole?

That’s my take on it too. Theres already noticeably more trucks at Goole to cope with the Middlewich work, plenty of ten plates too. They have run out of room to put empty cages on the site as well. Might start loading some empty cages for the return trunk deckers now… :unamused:

ha ha they always had trouble with cages but it was getting the drivers to return them which was the problem :laughing:

stick where you are mate the bloke is an obbsesive clown £7.60 for driving an artic is a joke tell stobarts to do one

Saturday and Sunday are paid at a premium rate,ok granted its not time and half and Sundays are not double time but its more than single time.
Bigrig,why dont you just go for the interview,nothing ventured nothing gained,it may not suit you but at least you would have heard everything from the horses mouth instead of the “my mates said brigade”.
Then you can come and tell everyone on here what the t and c are and whether its worth applying or not.

nice of stobarts to guarantee you 50 hours especially when the wtd clearly states you can only work 48 hours per week almost every trucker on the road in the uk is driving illegal no wonder nearly every driver who gets pulled by vosa gets fined

I agree he seemed to come out of no where with that. But in essence, he’s not wrong. We work in a industry where you cannot average more than 48 hours per week and yet we regularly get paid for 60 hours per week, week in and week out. We live in strange times :smiley:
