Many people will slate Stobart but have never worked for them.
As a newbie to C+E take the job if you get offered it. You’ll get good experience and most of the work Stobart do isn’t hard.
No doubt they have a bad reputation but their equipment is well maintained and it’s very easy to get defects sorted, it’s just lazy drivers not willing to make a phone call to get something repaired.
Planners may try to plan you maximum hours but just be firm and say you don’t have enough hours to do the job and usually they’ll change the job.
Their training academy set up is fairly impressive. You’ll usually get sent out with an experienced driver for 2 weeks.Even if you don’t enjoy working for them and stay there long term you can use it as a stepping stone for something better. What depot are you applying for?
Well said. I haven’t worked for ES yet, so don’t have an opinion. It might change in the near future [emoji16]
What I can say though is that I’ve started believing that bad things and practice can happen everywhere. I could write a wee book about shocking and illegal things that I witnessed at DHL, a company with DVSA’s blue light. It’s always, obviously, brushed under the magic carpet and the illusion is maintained…
