Hi Si,

No i don’t work for them anymore, i left about 9 months ago.

Jessica’s dad unless it has changed you have nothing to be jealous about :wink: :wink:

Good luck Hexenhammer let us know how your getting on in a months time,

12

I was going to work for them until i heard the stories about them on the phone all the time wanting to know why your stopping when you still have 10 minutes driving left, never leaving you alone, and generally giving you a hard time. I heard this from one of their own drivers in Meer truckstop one night.

But hey it might have changed, good luck anyway i guess its horses for courses as the guy i was speaking to had worked there for 5 years. I just prefer to be left to get on with the job. :slight_smile:

It was a few years ago now, but i was with one of their guys on Weil Am Rhein Border one Saturday morning in 2005 and he reckoned it was a decent job. Decent tackle(he had a 164 Topline), money was good, his only gripe at that time was they used to ship him Ramsgate - Oostende all the time and he hated it.

Times may have changed though.

Oh dear God!!! What have I let myself in for guys? Are they really that bad?
Anyho! Is everyone having a nice easter,gorging themselves on eggs 'til they’re sick■■? I know I am :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

Hey! You can be sure that once I start with them I will post pics and a diary.
I’m getting used to this technology now(I think)!! Being WELSH,I’m only used to an abacus,slate and chalk :smiley: Bye.

Like i said mate its horses for courses, and like someone else said you might fit right in, get on well with the right people and everyone likes how each other works.

There is a firm in Bristol that EVERYONE wants to get on with, top kit blah blah blah, well i got a job with them and within a week i had handed in my notice before i got a verbal warning!!! biggest load of ■■■■■ i have ever worked for.

So give it a chance, just be prepared :smiley:
