I’ve worked at Warburtons in Enfield. Often you find yourself running out of time. When you’re driving a double decker and delivering to Kent late at night, it’s not much fun finding that the East Tunnel on the Dartford Crossing has been closed…which it often is…and having to go the long way round the M25 to get back to the Enfield depot before your 15 hours runs out. Just make sure that you phone the highways agency to check if it will be open or not before you leave the depot in Kent so that you don’t waste your time trying to go through a closed tunnel. At 16ft the double decker is too high to fit through the left tunnel.
As someone else has pointed out, it’s no fun unloading at Lidl’s RDC in Southampton. You have to push all the stacks of bread into the warehouse and push every stack into the correct place in their warehouse. It’s a lot of walking and pushing stacks about, so make sure you have comfortable boots…and try not to get run down by all the speeding fork lifts whizzing about inside their warehouse.
You will also be doing store multi-drop work when they’re short of drivers, and driving 14 tonne rigids, 7.5 tonne rigids, and even 3.5 tonne vans. You will certainly earn your dough.
