hi all
i am new on here is there any builders merchant drivers on here ? 
Yes, doing timber & builder merchants in rural west WalesâŚ
Ex- builders merchants and civil engineering suppliers.
Yeah I work for Jewsons, not the best but itâs a job
i work for travis perkins.
one of the easiest jobs i have ever had.
Done plenty of it in my time, only problem with it is you generally have to deal with builders, who are never at site and never know where they want their delivery put. Apart from that itâs not usually that many drops and very little effort.
Used to be a Jewson driver. managed 1 whole year before I jacked.
The work was great I loved it but as usual its the sales monkeys in the office that made the job harder!
There are quite a lot of merchants on here. 
I hope this helps.

I used to work for TP good job if your left alone to get on with it.

We do a lot of bulk loose sand and gravel for Jewsons: They tell their customer any old crap and when you canât get into a private address the customer will whine the obligatory âBut Jewsonsâ said you can do it!â Iâve spread shingle down drives only for customers to complain itâs not level, itâs not as white as the sample (let it dry you twit), you havenât brought enoughâŚAnd Jewsonsâ rarely leave a contact number so the load gets dumped where itâs convenient for me not the absent customer (love to see their faces when they come home to find their drive/garage blocked up)

i recall going into lime grove by the church yard end , the council put an iron post on the corner to stop us cutting over the curb . i got in ok , but coming outi couldnât turn left because of the usual (zb ) parked opposite , so i turned right and ripped the post out with the underrun bar . next time i went in the boss thanked me , cheers , dave
