Hi thinking of joining mallinsons anyone tell me what they are like to work for I will be a tramper rather than day lad
Don’t hold out any hope of buying a new car whilst you work for them, crap rates of pay. The best one is, as we went into the recession he told all his drivers they would have to take a pay cut or face redundancies, 2 months after said drop in pay he bought 4 new motors. A few drivers walked the same day.
truswells might be worth a try not too far from mallinsons they have a lot of trampers and by sounds of it moneys decent enough.
Thanks for that not on the best of money here so wouldn’t lose out what is the attitude towards drivers from office staff and management do they push to exceed hours

As long as you don’t take the ■■■■ they’re fine, only drivers who complain really are those who park in lay bys for an hour and half after driving an hour down road and when tipped pull up 5 yard out the gate then press delivered on the tracker after an hour thinking them in the office can’t see them. I’ve been there 7 year and enjoy the work we see all the country, oh and drivers have left for other jobs because the “grass is greener” then come back after a couple of month with their tail between their legs. I can live off the money I earn and have a good life. The kits good and they are red hot with discrepancies and infringements, we are a VOSA testing station so we ain’t going to run bent. Oh and before anyone thinks I’m one of the “glory boys” I can assure them I ain’t.
Steve do you have one of the new giga space mercs then
No mate I got one of the last mega space Mercs brand new it’s nearly 2 year old now and I wish to keep it till it blows up or they give me a new one, I don’t want a hand me down. I had a DAF XF super space cab before the Merc and if I’m honest I prefer that, it’s the best living space in a truck IMO the bed you don’t want to get off on a morning! 
You usually have a unit for 3-4 year then get a new one.
I’ve been at Truswells for over two years now and its spot on. Your right with them and they are right with you. Pay is about average and and the trucks are well maintained. Nothing to lose by giving them a call.

According to the Yorkshire HGV drivers jobs page on Facebook they made 12 drivers redundant last week, drivers on there looking for work for that very reason.
Meanwhile on another social networking site Harry Mallinson is Willy waving about his new office complex being built.
