hi guys, im thinking about applying for a job with Maritime transport out of Hams Hall, any info would be great ie- whats the money like, the hours,nights out etc etc etc
also whats container work like as i have only ever done fridge work and i suppose i just fancy a change. thanks guys
A mate of mine works for them out of Southampton. Thinks they are ok. TM is great if you are up front and honest with him. 100% legal running, good kit.
He says he takes home anywhere between £350 - £450 per week.
I couldn’t personally do boxes as there is too much waiting around, it would do my head in. I much prefer to be busy. That said, buy yourself lots of books, a DVD player and no doubt the time will soon pass!
Top spec motors,Fridges and Microwaves in the new ones,parking paid for ,average take home anywhere between £430-£530 depending on hours /nights out what contract you go on etc you do get ■■■■■■ about a bit but that is like most container firms and when you start you more than likely will cab hop for a couple of weeks.long hours though if you dont mind it.
Great company to work for though,so I’ve heard 
and being based at Hams hall you get the privilage of working out of ABP Rail Freight Terminal and Freightliner Birmingham itself both being really quick and efficient with commited and helpful staff 
Hams Hall used to be great in the early days when it was just MSC boxes and those swap bodies, nowadays its just tolerable when I have the unfortunate task of tipping a box on there

hi guys, im thinking about applying for a job with Maritime transport out of Hams Hall,
I’ve got no info on Hams Hall, but I’ve met 15(ish) of their Southampton guys. TBH, I haven’t heard a single complaint.
ave a look on the website maritimetransport.co.uk/hamshall.cfm
there is a number on there give em a bell
the comaany is fairly good to work for but i will keep my opinion’s to myself about certain people in the managment team 
We got DHL chuck-outs in FX.
Ive done a bit of work for maritime in avonmouth and know quite a few of their drivers.seems ok to me,basic money is ok,but the nature of the job means lots of overtime and nights out.parking and truckwashes are on account,and they’ve got decent kit thats well maintained.having so many trucks means they chop n change your days work to fit around problems that may occur.The office staff in avonmouth are ok,but ive met some in southampton and tilbury who are ignorant to say the least.i think some depots lack the personal touch and treat you as a number,but thats a big company for ya.
