I see steady eddie is cutting over 100 jobs from 3 depots all of who are trampers. Anybody else notice that tramping s trying to be cut out anywhere else as I know 1 or 2 others who are doing the same to cut costs. Some bright spark thinks that when a truck is parked up for 9 or 11 hours it could be out working on another job.

If the wheels ain’t turning … The trucks not earning ££’s

Maybe they should realise that when they have other trucks sitting on their bays at RDC’s for hours on end waiting to be tipped.

This dont count, as there
s normally an invoice attached to this activity, which would cover a certain amount of “waiting”, over and above the normal tipping time…if your doing it right, that is
So did they actually convince more drivers to remortgage their granny?

I think this is enough to start with.

When you have a good network of depots you really shouldn’t need trampers and even if there is a gap in your network like far north etc you should subby this work out and try to make a profit as a middle man.
We run 24/7 the units never get a chance to cool down, usually the units only sit for 1-2 hours a day at home depot but they are all on mega mileage.

And the alaming thing is some mugs will fall for it. When you consider that some folk fall for the foreign charity bank scams its inevitable. All these poor drivers are doing is giving away thousands and gaining ultimate legal resposibility for operational liabilities such as truck defects and drivers hours whereas at least a normal driver has a little bit of security when work schedules are put into question by Vosa. Drivers are by nature easygoing they have to be, but the goalposts change when you take on ultimate the responsibilty and infact with this type of set up the tail will be wagging the dog, then stand back when a serious breach occurs with regards drivers hours or vehicle legality. Has anyone actually done it
I’ve yet to meet one of these “owner drivers” at Stobarts!
I’m off!! I’m handing in my notice tomorrow!! I’m sick of the bullcrap with this lot!!
The further away from Tesco I get the better!!
Thanks for the experience! But No Thanks! Think they own you on their crap hourly rate!
This is a right stitch up. You’re not an owner driver as you don’t own the vehicle! You’re not free to work for who you like, as you say, I’d love to see someone say, “Sorry can’t this week, I’ve got a Madrid, try me next week.” If anyone takes this up then good luck to them, they’ll really need it.
It appears that Eddie Stobart have become far too unwieldy with 2250 trucks, Tescos probably accounts for 50%of their business now.

Should read “Self-employed mugs”. No holiday or sick pay, no pension. What happens if you are injured, who pays your bills? If anyone goes for this then they are definitely of unsound mind.
It is all the things that aren’t mentioned in the advert that count, the sun doesn’t shine every day.
