Hi new member here looking for more info on NFT in Crick.
I live in Edinburgh and been offered work on a 6 month contract.
They have accomadation for the week at cheap rate.
Does anyone no any horror storys? 
It’s easy enough work , all Sainsbury’s or Asda , depends which one of the Crick sites your on. Normally get the same run every day , but the old hands get all the nice runs 
Stupid o’clock shift patterns and it 24/7/365 chilled so forget bank holidays etc.
I had an interview a couple of years back at Crick and was told to expect to be working xmas day and new years day , along with the rest of the speech I got I ended up turning the job down , but i know a few drivers there and a few of the w/house staff and they seem to like it . Hope they don’t put you up in Rugby , it’s like living in Beriut these days , so keep your head down 
Thanks shade thats sounds good! Its for a agency so it will be Bagdad
An easy job with lots of sitting around. Job normally goes…out to suppliers do a collection. deliver to RDC and bring a collection back in with you. Mainly long shifts, all regular pick up and delivery points. If you get chance, ask for digs in Long Lawford !!

Thanks. Need the hours to make it worth while leaving home 
I’ve worked for NFT for 18 months out of the Bristol depot.
Not to bad to work for. When I was driving most of the shifts are based on 12 hours. It’s the easiest job I’ve ever done. You are rarely expected to touch the load and you are never pushed, it’s takes as long as it takes within reason.
If you take the job & you get sent to the Bristol depot make sure you buy the shunter a coffee. (me)
If your looking for a job nearer home malcolms are currently looking for drivers
in alloa, newhouse and grangemouth

Jeez Mike , go easy on the guy , Ive lived in Rugby all my life and they only let me in Lawford if accompanied by a local 
Ravanoli, if you go for it ,drop me a pm and i’ll let you buy me beer while I show you where not to go :wink
Thanks Shade. I go to the agency Thurs. to find out all the ins and outs i.e. money, Digs so on and so on.
Thanks for all the replies they have been helpful.
I wil let you no asap how it goes.

What kind of units do NFT use ?
Volvo’s and Daf xf’s on Sainsburys , all Scania’s on the Asda contract
They want drivers to do a Driving assesment before they start

That’s company policy, nothing too difficult though usually just a short drive round the block then a reverse onto a bay.
Last I heard the Sainsburys operation at Crick was going to close down when the new Sainsburys super depot opens up that way. The ASDA operation was going to move into the current Sainsburys site.
As been mentioned before it’s easy, clean work but they expect you to work long hours. Bank Holidays are treated as a normal working days; the only one you are guaranteed off is Christmas Day.
Oh and there’s free tea and coffee in the mess room
I worked at Elstree for 6 months but the bean counters at Sainsburys shut us down. I found them OK to work for, the rate of pay wasn’t the best but it was regular.
Thanks jeh_lon. Free coffee Yip ee. Does any one no what the local pub and food establishments are like?

If you can fight try London House and then Chesters!!! For food just use Weatherspoons in the market sq, then pop over to the Irish club almost opposite, you’ll feel right at home as its full of Scots !!

Yes i hope so its Staffwise. They said they dont have accommodation so they have to go through ADR Network.
Sounds a bitt strange.
