I did. I’ve been vocal on Turners before, and I will stand by what I say. Turners are everything wrong with haulage. I would rather stick pins in my eyes than work for them again. Crap pay and crap treatment. All around the board. They’re probably the most reliant company on Eastern European drivers in the UK. Now reportedly the EEs are going home, so I’m guessing that Turners are or are about to be in a bit of a pickle.Detached management and planners who wouldn’t know a truck if it ran over their face… Every second counts attitude to drivers’ hours… Obsession with telematics and a camera pointed at you all day… Horrifically low opinion of their drivers and the worst “them and us” mentality I’ve ever seen… Crap, poverty-spec trucks, and a wage that lingers slightly above NMW. If you value yourself as a human being, stay away. Please.
I could go into massive detail about how and why they’re so bad, but they are literally a skidmark on the underpants of global haulage. That’s the best way I’d put it. I actually have nightmares I still work for Turners. I’m not even joking.
I can vouch for the above, and that’s the tanker fleets tend to be mostly Brits. I don’t have anything against this lot, as a lot worked for once decent companies who Turners bought out, and are Turners by default. Although I have noticed a few Easty Beasties on their powder tanker fleet as of late. The fridge, container and curtainsider fleets are 95% Eastern European drivers.
I wish Culina would buy them, and put an end to this inhumane regime.
I would disagree with you i worked for Turners and Culina.Turners are a bit laid back .Culina the less said the better.Its like a regiment.Culina despite everything cant keep their lot .Too many agency at Avonmouth.
