Wages £11p/h 8hr shift c+e £522 BASIC
time and half there after ect
Some nights out if yiou want em ( YES PLEASE ) £20
Could be a good little number
Stevewoods:
What was the shift pattern? And did you have a medical? One of my freinds from over there is due to go for an interview soon i think.
No medical as of yet.
47.5 hrs over 5 days £ 11 basic
Any 5 from 7 working days, 3 weekends off in 8, its a good and easy job but you earn your money by the amount of weekends you put in.
I’d reccomend if you dont mind the weekends

There is another 1.50 on top for “unsocial hours”
I agree with the rota change quip ‘College’ Its tough to get up on your banked hours thats a fact,but not impossible I may even earn a bit of overtime this month if I can avoid a week of 6,7,8 or 9 hour shift (You watch me ) I find the best way for o/t is by doing a 6th shift, I may as well as my days off are midweek and I’d only be spending the day alone as everyone is at work or school
The agency that was regularly supplying drivers to sainsburys near the stockyard before it moved up to Sherburn, recently offered me £12 + p/hr days (O/T after 8hrs) to travel up to sherburn, seems they still have their foot in the sainsburys door
Glad to hear your assessment went well I went for an interview/driving assessment with Wincantons for Sainsbury’s at Swan Valley Northampton on fri 26th Sept had my theory test and interview went well driving out for a good hour mixture of a roads,country roads and motorway it was a Merc auto nice came back and reversed on the bay passed ok was told the next step is a medical and her eis is the problem am still waiting was sent a double questionaire ,one about my general health and the other about my sleep pattern apparantly at this site a medical is part of there process before they offer you the job so lets hope I hear back soon…regarding there shift pattern I was told it’s 5 out of 7 and for every 7 weeks worked you’ll have to do 5 weekends mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm money is good and the job looks easy as northampton is meant to be the greenest distribution centre in the UK and they only deliver in a 2hr 30min radius from the site looks good.

Transline are the only agency operating in the sherburn RDC so I believe, my mate works for them and they pay £10-75 flat rate all the way through

I discovered on saturday that transline are subbing out their work to other agencies as they are struggling with their own drivers to meet demand,.
I dare say in a few week they’ll not have any futher problems of that note
Its a dog eat dog ole world we live in.
