just wondering if anyone knows what it’s like working there,I know they don’t allow the unions in there, the pay on offer seems decent but lots of agencies looking to get drivers in there and permanent vacancies seem to be advertised quite often.thanks
Trucks are slow
As well as agency, they use a lot of subbies as well. We’re one of their subbies and the jobs OK out of there. I think it’s all full palletised loads of booze going from warehouse to warehouse & some RDC/customer drops (although most of the direct deliveries seem to get farmed out to the subbies). They don’t seem to deal with kegs at the new Derby site. Can be some long waits for loads, but everything is run dead straight by the looks of it. The K&N trailers with the internal curtains are great to work with.
I’ve seen a few moaners at their transport desk, but no different to any other firm. I’d give them a whirl if I lived local and was looking.
Thanks rob,they got a perm job fri-mon which will suit me so going to ring them up in the morning
will drop you a message minger.

I’m a drayman for a small brewery and I’ve spoke to a few K&N draymen who have said its crap and K&N want rid of the dray side. Asked one the cheeky question of what does your hourly rate work out as and he said £14-ish an hour, not bad aye but when you consider how much they deliver and how heavy the work load is (had physio after a crash, he deals with a lot of draymen with bad joints/backs etc that aren’t much older than me and I’m 29) its hard going and I’m on just over half of what they earn for no more than 1.5 ton a day.
