thanks dparr59, i have seen the advert through the agency but was wondering if they would be advertising direct. There is also an ad from a sheffield based agency floating around.
i would prefer to try to approach them direct but if thats not possible then it will have to be through the agency i suppose.
dont if it’s too far for u pal but dhl exel at whitwood are holdin a recruiment evening on 1st october ad through agency but it is permanent. it start’s at 3pm till 7pm.
this week ive had almost every agency in the district ringing me up about MFI thorne, seems theyre paying agy rates of £9 p/hr flat days, and £10 p/hr nights.
theres ads in the local papers too, seems its mainly trunking work to other depots
Rang Best Connection about the DHL contract at Thorne. Guy there says its been put on hold. Seems plenty of work out of DHL at Whitwood but he also seemed very vague about shift patterns, hourly rate etc., especially when you consider it’s their contract.
Anyone got any info on Best Connection? What are like for reliability, providing work, backing out on work provided at short notice etc.
Any info greatly appreciated.
Stan
I’ve worked for Best connection. Two weeks after passing my class 2 they gave me a job and were great. Couldn’t fault them. I didn’t work for the Leeds branch though.
I would recommend them to be honest, a lot better than some agencies I have worked for that’s for sure.
best con are crap and so are their rates.
what they do is promise you plenty of hours you get there and its a flat 8hr run.
they are full of ■■■■■■■■.
you might do a job one week on one rate then next week go back on another rate.

i spoke to em and:
peirre:
seems they`re paying agy rates of £9 p/hr flat days, and £10 p/hr nights.
tbh, as soon as i told em to stop plying me with the proverbial cow dung about the job, they said exactly what you stated.
thats why i havent followed through with my enquiries, ill probably let the intial dust settle on the Thorne site, THEN see whos doing what regarding rates etc …
