Rude Driver of WX66 WGC. Told us where to go because he has parked across 7 of our carparking spaces which are private property and he couldnt be bothered to use the Truck stop at junction 25. so he thinks its ok for our staff and customers to not be able to park, causing us to loose business.

I'm afraid to say this company do NOT value the driver's lives or safety in any way. I tried working there for 4 months, and after I requested a not so early start on my first day each week (I was tramping), it was ignored. So, because I was always driving very tired on that day I felt I had to resign for my own sake. I have a very young family and I want to be able to get back home to them. Basically, all this company cares about is you getting their collections/deliveries done on time! If you can get up at 3.30 to 4am, start at 6am AND then do a 'legal' 15 hour day's driving/working on top (finishing
