not on chilled,we seem to be getting more work/contracts,which is strange why there chucking all this ambient on us,its as if there seeing how much work you can get out of a 24/7 depot,

Really? Is that why Alcester laid off 16 drivers last week?

we were only saying a week or two ago,how many more drivers are they going to take on,its fine taking on fulltime drivers casual in summer when loads are on holiday,but what do you do with them all in winter when you have a full crew,i remember when stobarts took over they stopped having spare drivers on rotas,of late weve had 4/5 per day extra.
on top of that runs have changed
i.e alferton
6/7/8 hrs waiting for coll
worksop
now
bradford
alferton
derby
j27
worksop[or thats what i did other day
now there slowly stopping the sitting/sleeping for hours on end,they want the truck moving,obviously if your all doing more,you eventually need less trucks/drivers
you have officeboy saying corby are requesting more trucks,i am being sent down there now on a regular basis to work out of corby,as are other drivers
we havent got enough trucks
alcester you obviously know more than me, i havent been there i guess for 2 ish years[thank god]
:wink: ,next time ill put my depot,not chilled :wink: :laughing:
