Do you mean the Goldstar that transports containers, or the air freight company based near Heathrow (with the green trucks)?

You are out of touch mate. Turners hasn’t been a good job for at least 12 years. Shame really, as when I worked in the Sainsbury’s produce depot at Bingley Road in Hoddesdon 20 years ago, a lot of the Hargrave international drivers used to come in, and they were top blokes. Turners lads were decent too, then they ran as one, and Turners went down hill rapid
Goldstar is owned by Turners but still run by Goldstar. Nothing is changing for 5 years on the Goldstar front. Hence why Turners are flying about whilst Goldstar poodle along at 50mph.
499 TOPLINE FOR NIGHTS.
Anything over 62.5 hrs is paid at O/T rate though.Which is a mighty £11.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Start in Aldi on the tills tomo on more than the O/T rate

When they call £11 will be the minimum wage!
£499 is too much for scousers, plus shell suits don’t count as PPE.

It shows what the job has come to when Goldstar can get bums on seats for 20p an hour above the National Minimum Wage. Where people get the idea from that there is a “driver shortage” is completely beyond me.
