I got the impression from your show biz outpostings and on here about your employer that working for Bull was the best thing since bread was first sliced.

Until that is, Ray White offered Baggett’s sliced at a jaunty angle .
I’m sure we’ve all had a change of heart over a job that we thought was the best we’d been offered, or even just different to what we’d been doing regularly until then

I’ve never started a bad job, but I’ve left a few…

I don’t see what all the fuss is about. Unless you’re known by your trucknet username at work, I’m not convinced an employer could identify a specific employee on here.
My username bears no relation to my own name, nor anything else that would point to me.

That’s what saved me a few year ago after a customer complained to my company I was slagging them off on here
They could identify the depot I ran out of but not me
Ever since then I’ve been very wary and vague about what I put on here. Ive been thinking about writing XPO on my signature and all the hate will get delivered to them

Bull is a good company and a good place to work. Alas I simply found Tesco store work incredibly boring and desperately wanted some exciting work when Mr White came along. The fact is I originally planned to work for Whites when I jacked the Virginia driving job in, they featured on my radar long before Bull.
The fact I worked for Virginia for 9 years is an anonomly, I used to chop and change jobs every few months so my current moving around isn’t unusual. Its my 23rd job in fact

At the end of the day Luke its your call, you found that Bull wasn’t what you really wanted, so went back to plan A
Good luck with how it all goes,
PS got to agree about the microwave, a valuable edition to any trampers cab, coffee makers handy too

I remember you mentioning Whites before actually. Glad you got there eventually, hope it works out.

One of the best laughs on this forum was a couple of years ago, when the prick who runs that Jock outfit that pays his drivers a pittance for driving flash top range motors, came on here moaning about being slagged off on here, made a complete prick of himself…comedy gold.
If firms don’t like their drivers giving their opinions of them they should not [zb] them about, pay them crap wages, or treat them like kids.
If they were confident that they treated their drivers well and done none of the above, what would they have to worry about.
A couple of firms I worked for in the past were spot on, and I would not have hesitated to have mentioned them on here in a positive way.
The firm I work for now is average, better than some but worse than past employers .
I do have a fairly good number compared to some of the other drivers. I do not broadcast who I work for (although one or two on here are aware), I try and keep it to myself, but I suppose the world would not end if it came out,… but I prefer things as they are tbh.
The fact that some firms are specifying that they do not want opinions expressed on social media goes to show that they are fully aware that they range from being unfair employers to complete showers of [zb].
Did you previously drive for “the group” ?, is that one of their 51 plate scanias, after them new boys bought the bizz. I’m familiar with the old group, pre 2000.

I think that thread needs digging up again. I want a read of it.
Don’t bother. It wasn’t interesting. In fact it was complete and utter POLLOCKS.
But i suppose if you wanted to find it you would only have to search for the company name on here. Can’t mind it though. General hauliers based in Bathgate i think. [emoji6]
Haha - I remember reading it at the time. He should not have got involved. Naive.
