Have worked out of there Hemel Hempstead site,it’s all M&S deliveries chilled and ambient… vehicles mainly Daf’s and Merc Actross,the runs I did were ok but some were a bit tight blindside reverse jobbies…good maps and risk assesment on all the drops you are given to do.it’s a pain having to bring all the empties back though.
I have worked out of Thatcham when we did traction for them on PTM a few Xmas’s ago…
As far as Supermarket work goes it wasnt too bad, more enjoyable than most of the trolley work is. I was on it for 2 weeks and it was decent enough work. I went out empty into the West Country to COllect a load of Cheese, Somewhere else in the West Country to collect their Xmas Hampers, Somewhere in Lincolnshire for Turkeys, so we did get about abit too…
All in all it wasnt a bad job at all, Soe of the stores are a bit tight, the one in Guildford Town Centre under the High Street was interesting though…
What’s the scheduling like, can you get plenty of hours in ?.
