Hi Paul.
Which poundland depot is it? For my sins work out of Willenhall and bilston,it’s ok kind of job you can get starts from 00.45am up to 3pm for shop deliveries,I do Friday - Tuesday and get an extra £21 for both Saturday and Sunday,some weeks it’s 60+hours some it’s 50,all the shops have maps if you trust them lol,
Money’s not as good as some places but it takes me 5 minutes to get there in the morning they usually want you to do at least 1 weekend day in your shifts as well.
1 thing tho infringement bonus■■?

I’m a newbie driver I passed class 2 in 2013 and my class and my class 1 in 2014.My dad who has been driving c+e all his life said I should do some Shunting at my yard to improve my manoeuvring and reversing however I have been doing it 10 months now and I just want to get out .
I currently take home 470 per week how much of a drop would I be looking at ?
I work atm 4 on 4 off 12 hour shifts 7pm to 7am and use to working over the weekend , I think I would prefer night work as well .
Thanks Jeff
On the advert it says average 2 drops? Yeah right runs go out with 6 drops a day sometimes lol some one telling porkies 
Not sure about Harlow but will ask at work tomorrow,if you prefer nights then ask about trunking I know Harlow run to peterlee and meet the trunks coming down and swop trailers.
Is that infringement bonus 50pence a hour or 50pence a week? ■■■■■■■ shove that right up yer arse if that’s a week

Should be 50p for every hour you go without an infringement

Let me guess, this was dreamt up by someone who did averagely at sixth form, did a gap year making mud huts in Africa, backpacked in Australia and then wasted two years at university of Ipswich and had to get a job so Gramps wouldn’t write him out of his will?
Hi Paul i work for poundland (Harlow) on my second tour been there six months now,the money is dire but we are in negotiation for a decent wage rise.The job itself is easy work between 1 & 4 drops and all the units are volvo’s the working week is sun-thurs or tues-sat and i do about 8 to 10 hours a day.
Firstly thanks to everybody who has commented I work night so just seen the posts.
Hi Daz that’s the only thing for me is the money …
If you live around the area you proberly know bidvest logistics that’s who I work for we just has a pay rise there which now class 2 drivers are on £35500 per annum so as you can imagine I don’t really want to take a big drop in money . However I want to do class 1 I’m sick of handball up and down stairs .i wouldn’t say I was afraid of hard work but I did my class 1 for a bit more of a easyier life although it would seem the money isn’t as good .
I don’t really mind what I work I do 4 on 4 of so end up working every day eventually lol .
Im 23 I have a wife two children and a mortgage so the thought of jumping jobs scares me a lot but I feel I would be a lot more happy driving class 1 .
Look forward to your relpy
Paul
Take a weeks holiday sign up to the agency at Harlow and try it for a week see how you like it.

Hi Paul i used to work for them when they were 3663 and yeah it’s hard work but poundland is really easy work no handball you just drop the cages or pallets down and they take them in.However you will take a bit of a hit with the money,why don’t you do what Daytrunker said and take a couple of weeks holiday and go in there with an agency like H&G or 24/7 if your not sure.

ps Ment to say do you know Rob Lindsey i think his shunting there ?
With a bit of luck they might give you the opportunity not to put a rigid decker, on its side.
Thanks for the advise everybody I think I’m definitely gonna do that
I can’t say that name rings a bell I have worked at bidvest for 1.8months never heard that name sorry
Some people say it’s best to work at poundland and be a limited company but I think this can be quite risky any opinions or experience ?
