Thats not allowed.
You are not insured in the back of a container.
Apparently ECS give you a pallet truck to tip,not on all occasions but quite a few.
Thats what i’ve been told by 3 of the drivers who’ve been on the contract.
Also there are apparently belgium drivers who are on the contract running illegally,so that is why ECS are pushing the British drivers to perform
ecs only push you if you let them or if you boss takes on jobs that push you the guys your on about are running the red magnums and volvos with 4 axle trailers ecs are normally self tip alot of aldi and lidl tip times usually about an hour and is usually pallets
hanbury want you to max out on hours every week and run in saturday, i feel sure that you will be over the 48 hours average unless you are required to cheat with the POA’s.
i haven’t done containers for many a year but when i did it was against company policy to unload or assist in unloading, although there were a few occassions when i felt sorry for the peeps at the delivery point (only when the work was light weight) especially when it was one kid on their own tipping the whole lot.
Ive never understood Hanbury, how can some one be given a Premium 05 when they have TGA XXL 05 and Mega 05, when you spend the same amount of time away?? I know its not all about the truck, but seems unfair, it not like its in the same league, this isnt why i voted Deben though.
I do like Hanbury’s new livery though.
north surrey haulage:
I know a subby on ECS you only have to self tip at Lidls with an electric barrow.
If you go on ECS for Hanbury you’ll have to learn Polish to speak to your workmates (taking 20 poles for ECS contract)
Go to Deben
PS
Didn’t stay away long did ya

Go where you think your be the most happy.
Ill be quiet now
The only reason Hanburys in Southampton have renaults is cause Renault is over the road,everybody there is up in arms,and blokes are leaving as the 52 reg MANs will be going in a month or so,and many others will probably go.A bit unfair when like you say Felix have Mercs and DAFs and XXLs and all the other depots,and Southampton get Renaults
But the TM aint shifting on the matter, French trucks it is,and thats that
I know a bloke who used to work for HD, and they don’t sound great to me from what he’s told me.
HD pay superbly if you can get on the rag-siders, like Jacuzzi at Bradford for example.
Sorry Rob - I don’t mean the pay, the bloke I knew had no complaints about the money - and he was on containers.
His gripes was that if you didn’t do x miles per gallon, they’d not pay you a bonus, or if somebody scratched the truck - it was your fault unless you had hard evidence to prove otherwise.
He’s also told me that you had to park up where they said, so they knew you hadn’t gone home for the night
Just sounded like a very ‘controlling’ company. I suppose that’s why they seem relatively successful. He had no complaints with regard to the money or the kit.
I suppose I just like working for a firm that haven’t got a clue where you are. And if they ring up and ask you - and you tell them the truth - they’re still none the wiser
