Coulthard’s paying not much more than minimum wage and getting exactly the caliber of driver they deserve.
They’re heavily reliant on agency drivers. I don’t drive for them myself (nor have I ever) but we do see a lot of them at various customer yards we both frequent. I could tell a few stories but shall refrain in this instance. All I’ll say is, it ain’t pretty but it’s entertaining to watch.
Just for balance, they do have a few decent lads driving for them.
They were advertising for drivers not 2 weeks ago…
And yes the wage advertised was not that good…
I spoke to them about doing Subby work. Needless to say I’m not doing Subby work for them. Their rates ■■■■ harder than a Dyson on crack.

Nope, road markings are different as is back of truck.
I guess theres a sign on the bridge there - can’t see it but is a strange angle. I seem to remember BM being one of those who were advertising for brand new drivers so likely paying daftly low wages.
Is Coulthards the official name for BM? Like home bargains is trading name for something else?
No Hayton Coulthard just do all the B&M work in Scotland. They run it out of Lesmahagow truck stop.

Motherwell this morning, as if the snow wasn’t causing enough problems this knob end causes total gridlock on one of the busiest roads in the area.
I’m beginning to think licences are freely available in lucky bags or christmas crackers these days.
