Those pictures on the website look pretty old, I doubt that fl7 is even still alive!
Jennie:
anyone know anything about QTR
I’ve had a look at their website:
From reading their home-page it seems that they’re into warehousing and distribution.
It also looks like they might supply you with a nice uniform too. 
Just what a girl needs new clothes lol !!

Its multidrop and if you’re class 2 they look like Mercedes, Iveco or a 26t ERF, or you could be in a 7.5tonner which are Renaults and DAFs…
No I dont work for them, just seen a lot of them around 
Well done on getting the work
From what i can see on the website they are a pallatised distribution company. So i imagine everthing you’ll be delivering will be on pallets that will be forklifted off. Depending if you have a forklift licence or not will mean you or someone at the customers will take it off for you. Could possiblely be handballing stuff off but (i found) most big pallet companies don’t do this. I’ve only had to do this when delivering flat pack kitchens and tv’s etc. Normally to residential addresses and double manned with a mate or another driver.
That said it could be either.
The deliveries and collections sound like a typical day i do in a class 2. First half the day is bringing out a fully loaded truck and dropping everything off then the second half is popping round loading back up to bring into the depot to get sorted then most likely shipped off else where.
Have fun 
Thanks guys just wanted to know a bit about them so was prepared for today as most of my experience has been trunking with one delivery and home so on with the learning curve !

Well guys all went well
4 drops palletised 3 to petersfield 1 basingstoke and then 1 collection Basingstoke only glitch was a farm delivery in petersfield that could not get access to all roads in not suitable for HGV `s in the end thought sod it and ended up going up one of these my breath was held a few times negotiating little turns and little villages only to still not find it and ring contact on documents he says bring to my home address which was up such a little lane thought was going to middle of nowhere then he says cant take it as pallets so points across the fields to big barn building thats where you need to be thought he was gonna ask me to drive the truck across the field !! just followed the outskirts of field and managed to get to it by following outside of hedges, drivers at QTR where really nice to me always good, hate going to somewhere for first time as never know what the reception will be lol , DD no uniform i was fine in me jeans !!
So another learning experience was had and think i have a dislike of man truck this one had no guts 30mph up some of hills if was in the dafs i normally drive they would i made it up the hills a bit better!(even starting to sould like a truck driver now eh !!!
