Hi all,
Does anyone have any experience working for LLD in Bellshill?
They’ve been advertising for a while which I know should tell me everything.
I’m sure it’s a ■■■■ hole, just need it confirmed [emoji1]
Cheers

I done some agency there. When I was there I had a rental unit and you could go anywhere and everywhere. From aldi, lidl, morrisons rdcs. To small premises that made groups. A lot of hand balling and pallet truck stuff. It will keep you fit and some of the reversing was a experience. I can understand why a high turn over as let’s be honest its basically class 2 work in a artic. Gaffers where decent.
Nearly there again:

Yes done agency there too.
The key thing is the manifest. They are the most intense paper orientated firm I have worked for on a daily basis, so make sure you properly understand it not just bs your way throught it. It is written in a bit of a kack handed way so get it otherwise they’ll be on you. You basically go around with a lever arch file!
The office wallahs are ok actualy, not like those our souls at Gist for instance.
Reversing at Bellshill is err fun, remember goal. Can be a lot of hanging around and the brew up room isn’t that big, so take a book or something to amuse you with you so you dont get too bored.
Most of the work is very local only a few shifts down country so to speak for day drivers. But a mix of the Tescos, Aldis, Morrisons etc. More likely to get a WTD infringement than a driving one so watch your 6 hour rule.
If agency pay can be quite good.
Car parking can be a pain you park on the road south of their office block opposite Muller. The wagon entrance is in a parallel road about 200m further on on the LHS.
Oh and no p155ing by the fuel pumps. There is a notice up to tell you !

So, those benefits in some ads that state ‘free on site parking’ & ‘on site toilets’ DO have value?

Handy shout out for cycle to work too. So you can park the car miles away and cycle the last bit

Love it. Except you’d be cycling about 50m. Take you longer to assemble the Brompton/remove it from the cycle rack.

To the average trucker cycling 50m might aswell be 50 miles
