Come on then, don’t stop half way through. If it saves a driver getting dropped in it, it is worth telling.

not sure if they still do the bulk work. when IBC took over IFF a change in haulage took place in Ireland. Bulmers sent a few lorries over to cover some work. while over a few lorries were damaged while the drivers slept and told to get on the boat and not to come back. seemed to have a brave tight fleet but by the sounds of it those days are gone.

I worked for Bulmers in ipswich for 3 years it was ok.As stated before they’ve had their problems, mostly asda work from felixstowe and trailers out of dooley and harwich.The manager at ipswich is a good bloke but they have new planners now so could,nt comment on them,The money was about average for boxes good kit but aging a bit now 58 plates the newest all xf’s.All in all were,nt too bad but never felt secure as tee’s always kept us in the dark.I left to join maritime solely for the security cos firms around fxto going ■■■■ up all the time so might as well be with the biggest and hopefully most secure after all i,ve got bills to pay. :smiley:
