Makes me laugh…
Stobart’s assessment for me was…
- Go to Crick and pick up truck and empty trailer - (less than 2 months with CE)
- Drive said Truck & Trailer to Bardon (approx 35 miles)
- Receive Induction by means of reading a 70 page document on H&S, Loading etc and sign off understood sheet
- Go back to Crick to pick up loaded trailer
- Travel back up north (70 mile extra driven now) to deliver to two locations and come back empty
- Get TOLD by my personal controller on last drop to go to Leeds to do a trailer swap
- I explain that I will be close to running out of hours…Don’t worry its only Leeds just 30 miles from last drop
- Reluctantly do the task get caught in traffic as expected (rush hour) and head back to drop off at Crick
- I knew I run out of time but at least not on tacho as “forgot to put my manual entry”
So yes I went through an agency but the above tells us a little about the outfit and its regardless if I am agency or not.
Good luck if you are going to work for them, I am sure they must have a differing attitude to permanent colleagues and treat others like dog ■■■ and you will get the fancy truck, trailer, uniform and a discount at the A5 truckstop ES cafe!!
