I was told by an agency that they could not get drivers to work there because of the shift lengths, he had drivers some retired who only wanted 8 to 10 hour shifts but because stobarts could not get drivers they kept getting 15 hours so never went back.Sounds good to me ,agency get the [zb] long runs,while there own drivers get the 1 hit short runs
A well done too STOBARTS and there goole t.o staff for that one ,long may it continue
and when you run out of yard to sweep? 
Sorry to post on an old thread guys but I’m wondering if anyone knows if stobarts at goole offer nights out? I’ve got an assessment and interview there next week but not sure what shifts are available except days and nights

going back 6 months or longer I overheard the ops manager asking if drivers wanted some nights out ( can’t print reply but includes I pay c tax , w rates etc).
Haven’t been there for a bit but have tried out of there and have a few mates who
Are at present , but not based there .
Ask at interview , if u want tramping how far is sherburn
They don’t out of Goole, if you want nights out you may be better off trying the Sherburn depot, even then it’s either shifts or full time tramping.
Sherburn is about 50 miles away from me.
I’m working over the weekends and I’ve been told sherburn don’t have nights out over weekends.
I’ll ask the question next week when I go for assessment.
Thanks guys appreciate it

Left hand down!:
£15/hr still isn’t enough to compensate for the fact it’s [zb] work with [zb] trailers contaminated with mouldy food, [zb] cages with only 3 wheels, [zb] attitude from the office staff, [zb] attitude from the store staff, oh and it’s a lot of manual graft. I hope all the shelves in their stores become empty and they go to the wall.Bang on there " Left hand down " , Ignorant [zb] [zb] job [zb] trailers [zb] cages is exactly the reason why they cannot get drivers , but typical of a lot of firms they cant see it and sit there ■■■■■■■ about with spread sheets and doing silly graphs to stick on walls , if they looked at what is staring them in the face and got off their arses and sorted the problems out they would be running a happy ship , so called management they are as Thick as Pig [zb] !!, would have to offer me £ 50 an hour on P.A.Y.E. before I would drive for em [zb] em I say.
Sounds a lot like Boots crossdock, Thetford (DHL). (cept for the mouldy bit!) Rarely have i identified more with a rant!
