Does anyone know the type of work they do and what there like to work for ?.
Can’t answer your question mate, I park outside their yard a few times a month they run old but tidy looking daf and volvos. Wagons coming and going all night long.
They are local and im working for a firm round the corner … I understand they rent one off their lorries out to a owner driver but other than that they hold their cards very close to their chest.
Thanks for your replies. There looking for a class 1 at Batley and l wondered what type of work they did etc. Looking to get back into tramping but wont just work for anyone. T’s & C’s have to be right.
Could always call them and ask
Do a night /day trunk for city link
I’ve rang many firms who’ve advertised for drivers who are very sketchy about what they pay etc. Several times l’ve travelled more than 80 miles for an interview to realise that had they discussed money before hand l wouldn’t have wasted my time and there’s by going. I now make it a rule that if they won’t discuss t & c’s before hand l won’t attend an interview.
A previous job advertised OCT 19th 2012, jcp.jobhits.co.uk/CLASS-1-HGV-DR … -BAY-35778 I also work just around the corner from them.

A friend of mine used to do that with them, but they fell out in a spectacular fashion.

That’s why the advert says previous applicants need not apply then?

Same here mate. Looks like he hasn’t got the balls to give people a straight answer.
Did he tell you about the Incab cameras, 1 facing the driver, and 1 facing the road.

Exactly the same here mate. Same reason I didn’t chase it up.
Think the guy needs to grow a pair, and let people know we’re they stand.
Went for an assessment with them and had a drive with one for the owners in a scruffy old Volvo, filthy inside and out, broken drivers mirrors and was entirely unimpressed with them and the company, never got a call back either but wouldn’t have accepted it anyway, no way would I night out n the sort of rat cab I drove on my assessment.
Money offered was about average for the area, work seemed to be trunking fron amazon to cov and back and otherwise general haulage.
Oh and the yard is a dump as well as offices.
I signed on with another local firm with 18 month old leet and contract all over country and loving it
