Alien Ressurection!
Wheel Nut:
Yeah they are nice yellow trucks, new trucks, health cover, full uniform and wet weather gear, subsidised canteen, free computer access and social club. Cheap Air Travel, Staff Shop, ETCI earn over £19500 for 40 hours a week.
Somehow it doesnt work out at £5 per hour.I left a job earning 25k because of these benefits.
Maybe DHL didnt want you!
Not to mention even a marker light out and the vehicle goes nowhere, free DCPC training, family friendly hours - no working daft hours, if you split your break as in 15 followed by 45, its DHL policy to have 2x30min breaks, if your breaks is 45, they want you to take 50, if you split as in 2x30, they want to stay on the safe side so just have 2x35, if I work 10 hours and have had a split break of 1:10mins I still get paid 9.5 hours. Working for DHL suits me,
TONY:

Wheel Nut:
Apparently Smokey Bacon are the only crisps in Walkers range that are suitable for vegans and vegetarians.Seems strange somehow
LMAO…
What a quandery…a vegetarian eating bacon
Well… We’ve seen Milliband eating a bacon sarnie this month didn’t we? - and I thought he was of that religion from the country south of Syria (sorry, edited for getting posted on DM - Force of habit! 
)
Does anyone know who deals with Walkers Agency work? I’m off to register with a couple on Monday and have a couple of job interviews (as I’m temporarily unemployed at the moment). I might even ring them direct on Monday. Thanks.
Ian.
give em a ring ian. my mate jacked on friday so there`s a job going. he said it was the easiest job in the world but he missed european work. rgds jon
Thanks John, I’ll definatley give 'em a buzz and let you know how I get on. BTW, the job a 11 quid an hour was for real, but it was for warehourse work. I just couldn’t stand that. Besides it’s been a struggle so far but I still want to drive bendys.

At least your not chucked in at the deep end. Now where have I heard that before?
When I worked at Somerfield/Kwik Save at Sherburn for Exhell,sorry,Exel,we used to back load at the Walkers Peterlee plant for Warrington,and I must say,it was as easy as pie.
‘Just back onto that bay driver and you’ll know we’ve finished loading your trailer when the lights on green.’
Can’t get better than that.Also a susidised canteen,free crisps,as long as you ate them in the canteen,and a feel good factor about the place,made me want to move back north again.(Or maybe not.)
If you have the opportunity to work there,then grab it.
Ken.
BTW, the job a 11 quid an hour was for real, but it was for warehourse work.
have you passed details to our tony 
I have that job saved on here somewhere. I bookmarked it but cant find it. I will keep searching.
I think it is walkers because it said a major snack manufacturer in Leicester.
Definatly class one work but as kitkat said it might be shunting in the warehouse

wheelnut, sorry mate i ain’t mentioned anything about shunting in the warehouse
the remarks i made was in fun about the remarks thebigone made about the job he was offered, but he said that it was in a warehouse, for 11pounds an hour
Nope, I’m suprised he didn’t make a comment about that, but if he wants 'em he can have 'em, although the offer was from a good mate of mine and might just refer to me. I do know they pay generally £7.50 per hour the work with overtime at time and a half after eight.
I gave Walkers a ring today after I’d registered with a couple of agencys and was told no we don’t have need of drivers but make sure you pick up the local paper on Wednesday. Hmmm . Might sound promising that. Think I’ll start making a nuiscance of myself at Samworth Brothers and ANC in Leicester. DHL have said give me a ring back next week and we’ll sort you someting out night trunking .

your trying to wind tony up aren’t you you know how he feels about big yellow trucks
Nope, not trying to dig a hole for myself. In this case they’re blue with white writing. Jammy might have something to say on the subject .
Sorry kitkat, I just reread the post and realise you were on a different subject.
I did have the Walkers job mailed to me from Fishy Jobs. Its gone now but this one is there:

i to am looking for work at the moment but thats to of the companys i would not work for.
samworths are only good to work for on the agency, as they pay on the trip for full time employees,so if the trip pay is 9.5 hours and it takes 13 they only pay 9.5.
walkers are just crap to work for,thats a last job just before you retire.
rules regulation’s crap trucks no hour’s.
i no work in east midlands is tight but norberts in aylesbury are looking for trampers . or you could bore youreself silly working for tesco or safeway.
hope this helps trucking for brit companys is geting scarce.
rgds mark.
Thanks DAFTramper and if no one’s mentioned it yet welcome to Trucknet UK . OOoooooh, Wheelnut, I might just be tempted, I’ll have a shuftie at that. A mate if mine who does the British Superbike work for Metzeler has offered me something over the weekends if I want it as well at a decent screw.
