Hi all, brand new to the forum

I have recently applied for a job at Stobarts depot in Hams Hall. Does anyone have any information on the hours, runs, wages etc…?

Also been offered a job at Geopost (Interlink Express/Parceline) in West Bromwich, any information on the working conditions would also be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Got a mate that does the antisocial shift for Eddies@Hamms Hall - all to RDCs, likes working for them and money (at least for that shift - nights over the weekend & 3 weekdays)) is great… He seems to get on there fine and isn’t the type to sit there and take ■■■■ !!

I used to work at Geopost. Working conditions are excellent. Paid bank holidays plus 20 days. Everything is done by the book and there’s plenty of time to sit in the excellent drivers restaurant.

I loved it. Unfortunately as a Linehaul Driver at a Parceline depot, the 7am Saturday finish wasn’t that great when you’ve got kids.

Thanks for that Teddy. I spoke to a guy who did a bit of agency work for them and he said it’s a long days work and he was sent to Kings Lynn quite a bit. I hear though that the money isn’t too bad. What are they like on experience, I only have 6 months experience C&E.
