Stobbarts assessment written test

If your Manager asks you to go to Dublin & drive through a picket line involving your own work colleagues, i.e. Men that work for the same company as you & only earn €25 per week more than Social Welfare.
Would You:-
a) GO WILLINGLY.
b) HAVE TO THINK ABOUT IT.
c) SAY CERTAINLY NOT.

If the answer is c) then you have a chance of becoming a respected driver going about your work in a professional & dignified manner for a low key logistics company … Not jumping in front of a camera like some delusional Knob!

Question X

How would you feel working for a company that the general public seem to like, they wave at you and take photos of you. Yet the drivers of this same company appear to be despised, mocked and vilified by other members of the haulage industry.

Why do they bother with assessments, it would make sense to me if they employed some of the agency drivers that work for them on a regular basis. They would know what they were getting.

I actually know someone who works regularly for this company through an agency, he knows the job inside out & has been involved in the logistics industry for over ten years …
Why?
Because he earns more money this way than if he donned the uniform and had that part of his brain removed that says, “Think for yourself!”

Can you drive a 7.5t round & round & round the same block in London coz your a sh@te driver and can’t reverse it into a simple entrance way… and then get a parking ticket for it as well… all whilst trying to show serious concern for the company’s image & profit margins…
