Hi
I have an interview with Canute Group this Friday in Gateshead Class 1 Tramping
Are they any good and what about the wage
I’m on £25k here in Birmingham DHL - Night Trunk
But home is Ncl and miss it
Been driving class 1 - 6 mths luv it - Reversing getting better week by week. Still have trouble getting it dead straight in an open parking space… Doing my head in.
Luv my Auto Renault Premium… Auto forever - Got to get an Auto car - Would not know how to drive a Manual truck now…
i’v only chatted with a handfull of canute drivers over the years but thay all gave the impression it was a hard work company. was told the owners a million air so it proberley is a work you to the bone company.
Owned by DHL anyway, least you’ll get paid & they ain’t cowboys.

I know a fair few who went to canute( not ncl), trampers stayed last I heard,day drivers and driver trainer left straight away,I know reasons they left ,seemed a very mixed bag of reasons.
As I say a.f.a.i.k the trampers,or lads who went there tramping are still there,so can’t be too bad as they were ( or some) were right moaners 
Don’t worry about the reversing…plenty of Canute/Wilkinsons drivers are in similar position when they start…it soon comes easy/natural!!!
Good company though, decent tackle.
Interesting what you say about Auto trucks & cars…I agree!!! The modern ones are generally great. Sometimes delay just when you need to go i.e. at roundabouts, but yeah, they’ve come a long way in last ten years!!!
Mine is a mare at roundabouts, It takes ages from 1st to 2nd when pulling away.

yep,Jim Marshall, his son is up at the Kendal office at the moment… ive worked a lot for them over the last 10 or 12 years via my agency, they do want their pound of flesh but if you dont mind a bit of hard work they are ok…
Maybe I’m wrong, could have sworn DHL bought them a few years ago.

News to all of us.
2 days ago I was told it was still privately owned on my induction.
I will ask, I think I have to deliver to canute today In Milnthorpe.

Yeah, I thought it was a strange fit. Maybe it was just a rumour, there was also a thread on here a while back about it.
drop it hide it loose it would of had the crap logo all over the trucks if the did
I was delivering up at the depot at Milnthorpe toady and seems the guy there never heard of any take over
They are yellow though
Do they still do the Thermalite blocks ex Celcon?Thought ON time took then over?
