Haven’t worked there maybe 4 years now, and that was walking floors, but the job was a pretty good really. You will get mixed reviews though, you get assigned a planner, and each one seems to have thier own regular work to a certain degree. Talk to two different drivers with different planners and it will sound like a world apart.
There was never start times, bit odd the first time you ring them and the planner asks what time you start. Most people with any sense start earlier, because who wants to try and park after 6pm.
Money is odd, majority think they are basically paid for 12 hours a day plus night out, so that’s what they work. Used to be roughly 650 in the bank.
Assigned units and trailers, got fridges in, garage will fit your inverter and CB, but they weren’t supplied.
Somebody will drive yours when your on holiday, weekends they sit in the yard, defects and maintenance done.
Walking floors are versatile beasts, pallets to waste to wood products. Some jobs are dirty, just keep boots and overalls for them jobs and your set, most lads manage.
Chip liner work is dung, it’s the wrong tool for what ever job your doing.
No idea how the tippers get on, always wondered how they get a net on top of a mountain load of chips though…
