I see this “awards” dinner is been held tonight,I wonder which large faceless corporate company who don’t care about there drivers wins “haulier of the year”…
Who actually decides this??
I once worked for a previous winner and if they were the best haulier then I’d hate to see the worst…

Just don’t understand how a firm can be giving the title of best haulier when most hauliers are not even at the event 
CJ Pryor won tipper haulier of the year and went pop soon after.

They won something similar about 3 years ago, actually I think it was chilled operator of year.

Because as I said it’s a corporate old boys thing ,
Most small and medium sized not corporate hauliers wouldn’t been seen dead in the same room as these Zb leaches
I know my boss by name and face , how many of those companies could a worker pick their boss out in a line up ?

They’ve pretty much swallowed great bear now, that’s why I thought they might get it. MT love that sort of stuff
You have to laugh at some of it though,bibbys in the contenders for livery of the year 
So put some stickers on a plain white unit with a corporate buzz slogan on it and it could win an award 
Meanwhile the firms that spend a fortune painting up a smart fleet don’t get recognised by this joke ceremony

This, exactly. My bosses (theyre brothers) know me and I know them by name face etc, I’ve called in at 2am Monday morning with flat batteries and it’s the boss, the dude with his name painted on all the wagons that comes out to unlock the workshop for me. I have problems with how I’m being run, I’ve got their direct personal phone numbers. And yes dave (the boss) did then ring me at 2300 asking if I’d change to an earlier start a couple weeks later but hey, turn n about its fair play:)

The ‘Industry Oscars’, they call it…
That in itself would be enough for me not to attend.
They do come up with some crap don’t they…
I hope that Corporate Solutions Logistics wins it, purely for how their name neatly summarises everything that’s wrong with transport (and plenty of other industries too!)
