Speechless…
Almost.
Six hours to unload six pallets, drivers sat for six, seven, eight hours. Neither food nor drinks machine working. To be fair though the gi staff brought boxes of sandwiches to give the drivers.
I asked what the problem was, as I had only a few hours left of 15, and was told they had no staff and would tip me “sometime”.
An unexpected nine hours in a less than luxurious lay by on the A5. Thanks.

Same situation last week… 8 hours to tip. I was told they were trialing a new system… Obviously its not working!!!
I believe it has to do with TescoExpress which seems to involve using hauliers as free warehousing. It is not difficult to see the system does not work, how can they justify keeping drivers, trucks and loads sat for hours and hours■■?
instead of wining on about it on a forum, you need to grow some balls and stand upto them. its dead simple, you sit for 2 hours make a call to office to explain what the hold up is. wait 15 minutes ask for your keys and paperwork as your leaving. if they refuse then dial 999 and say your being held against your will and see how quick your either tipped of released from premises. or you could do what I did at argos Trafford park a few years back and block the in/out gate and refuse to move until you are given assurance that you will be tipped or loaded straight away. its amazing what happens if you stand up to them.
Lol, I’d like to see who has the balls to stand up to tesco by blocking their gates, threatening them etc. You’re more likely to get barred off site & potentially sacked by your gaffer I think-tesco doesn’t give a zb about anyone or anything, always remember that…!
PLEASE RING BRADFORD EVERY TWENTY MINS no honestly that’ll get tossco working again free storage ON YOUR TRAILERS to the OP I hope you don’t get your diesel ROBBED

Yawn, that’s what a proper trucker would do I suppose…
Agree with pimpdaddy, that sort of action would simply get me sacked.

I agree, all this nonsense has been steadily getting worse for years. The balance of power is in the RDC’s favour. Make a scene today and you’ll be out of work.
The time to put a stop to all of this was many years ago in the “good ol’ days” It started with drivers not being allowed into canteens and snowballed from there.
I had the misfortune to tip at Tesco Hinkley, about 20 years ago (pre mobile phone days)
I was in a 7.5 ton fridge & had half a dozen drops on & I only had about 20 packs of milk for Tesco’s. the Bum Wipes kept me there for 4 hours !!! WTF !
