Obviously written by an ex driver turned TM
If i was looking for agency iād give them a ring, a refreshing outlook instead of the usual ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā most of then advertise.
Shame itās in Scotland and too far away from me
Iād certainly have a gander.
As the clown said, a refreshing approach using humour.
But after a few shifts we are usually a wise bunch and realise we are still getting shafted.
The range needs work. Ā£19-Ā£20ph would sound a lot more āmotivationalā and āwould be worth putting up withā for whatās being requested of the driver here.
Ā£12-Ā£20 means you get Ā£12 for working weekday nights, and the Ā£20 is for bank holiday overtime when youāve worked 40 hours that week already. āNothing specialā in other words.
If Iām wrong - then SAY itās the higher range like I suggested above. Eg. the lowest pay you can get is ā ā ā - because itāll always be the lowest end of the range that youāll get as the bread and butter work.
Itās not the āhardness of the workā that puts people off in the first few days - itās the constant lies that try and trick you into maxing out your hours at the lower rates.
If it were all paid @ Ā£20ph right through - weād be scooping up turds with our bare hands, cleaning the toilets, making the guvnorās tea, and not expecting any āgoing home earlyā for THAT money - right?
You are indeed RIGHT Winseer.
And I will tell you what else you are right aboutā¦Amazon in Doncaster. Christ almighty, 3 hours there yesterday morning.
As far as Iām concerned, thatās the first hurdle passed, they are straight shooters.
If I was looking Iād be all over it to see if the job matched my expectations.
Pity they are only in Scotland, although no idea whete their clients are. Do like the honesty although the wages range always makes me suspicious. Doubt thats for class 2.
Looks like their web site also has the same ad plus some slightly more normal, but still better written and honest ones.
As for Amazon, maybe we need a thread on dodgy RDCs like Doncaster Amazon site 3 (buried behind Morrisonās) where 3 hours per pallet is normal, and Wincanton Corby who should win the award for most abnoxious office staff. Any agency including those as examples is worth a look.

Bloody hell they must be olympic standard ignoramusās, for there is an awful lot of competition out there for such a desirable title

I would assume itās not for class2 since the advert is looking for class 1 drivers.

Goldfinger:
On the full advert, they want class 1 & 2 driversā¦
It also says the rates are from Ā£10-Ā£20, which we all know means Ā£10 almost all the time.
Iām not sure Iād call that rewarded handsomelyā¦
a handsome uniform to show off that hard earned lorry driver physique,in my case would they do size big fat belly lol.

No probs - the handsome uniform will consist of a single high viz with the agency name stamped on itā¦ along with the obligatory plastic carrier bag as an accessory.

iām quite fussy though,if I was agency it would have to be a waitrose bag,nothing but the best
Even if it was āmainlyā Ā£10 an hourā¦
Round here, thatās a FORTUNE!!!
Always said, this governments ānorthern power houseā thing ends at the M62ā¦
