Check out posts by jonnytruckfest user, didn’t he work for them and keep an online diary of sorts?
Jonnytruckfest worked for them. Agency I think? Don’t think he was over complimentary about them but the experience was invaluable. Think he said he mainly delivered to original factory shop I think they’re called?
What’s happened to Jonny?
After been like a dog with 2 dicks at first, maybe he’s found out what the industry is really like
It’s not a tramping job. If you read further down it says it’s local work.
I think their looking for tramper too.or does anybody know any other good company’s looking for class 2 trampers
Quite a few 8w tipper firms these days that use trampers.

No, it is for Trampers, this company has been advertising for Class 2 Trampers for many month and they are doing work around London as well in class 2 sleepercabs with obvious Tramper inside the cab with fuzzy bed linen etc…

Tramping around London doesn’t sound like fun, find out if they pay for parking at interview stage.
Nice to see they’ve finally put up their shocking hourly rate to something somewhat decent although 50p extra an hour on o/t is a joke.
Its a variety of work, factory shop is one of their main contracts ■■■■ easy, about 1-2 drops per run, and it varies for which depot you run out of.
Moffat is the latest contract they’ve taken over delivering catering equipment to pubs schools and the like, easy enougj job but good luck getting decent hours unless your an expert at dragging the job out.
You will at some point or another end up doing the pallet network which is a ballache but alas if your on a contract is only when days are quiet.
There is also the general side, easy enough but again good luck keeping the hours up.
The kit when i was there wasnt the greatest and you wont end up with a permanent wagon until youve done a good few months with em…i got mine after 9…the week i also put my notice in 
Alas i loved my time there, experience it was some of the best times of my career alas i left thinking tje grass was greener sadly wasnt so and i wasnt going back tail between my legs, how i ended up at longs…
Experience wise, and for travelling the country id say go for it, if its money your chasing…look elsewhere!
Cheers
