fagan and whalley

sorry to keep asking about different firms but has anyone worked for these before if so what they like usual stuff please

From what I have heard from various people in the local area, as long as the boss likes your face you are ok, he’s a bit of a slave driver and if he doesn’t like you, or you do something to upset him, then you get all the crappy jobs.

One guy went from crappy company A to F&W and came back to crappy company A. :open_mouth:

I know a couple of the lads that work there, they are not drivers, think one of them may be a FLT driver and to be honest, I wouldn’t want to be in the same yard as him while he is working.

so pretty much like most places then :smiley: cheers for that matey

And every vehicle is tracked, and they are all shown on a huge screen in the office.

So you can run but you can’t hide.

Ken.

They are part of Palletforce so lots of multidrop work or night trunks to Derby.

id be happy doing that if im honest do any of you gentlemen know what they pay i do know they have trampers

As to pay, I have no idea, the only times I have seen jobs advertised in the local rag, its only ever said ‘exceeds national minimum’ so that could be anything from around £6.10 upwards!

If you are local, then why not pop in and see Graham with your cv, you never know, it may make him look at you rather than just your cv.

Not sure it will reach the dizzying heights of £7.50 though :confused: (crappy company A mentioned earlier was only paying £6.50)

Anyway good luck with it :smiley:

I work for them and I will say this, but please remember this is only MY PERSONAL OPINION.

The money isnt the best but if you get the hours you will come out with a decent wage, the boss (Graham) is the fairest guy I have ever worked for, like everyone if you do something stupid you will get your arse kicked, if you keep your nose clean you will be left alone.
The work is good and clean, they won’t let you go over hours or ask you to do anything dodgy, the trucks (some are older) are all very well looked after as are the trailers, There are a lot of drivers that will do nothing but moan but thats the norm anywere.

Personally I love the place and very happy to work for them, wouldnt mind a pay rise but wouldnt leave if i didnt get one.

Hope that helps a bit.
