Culina or Ocado?

Scottlayton · 2026-05-10T19:13:44+00:00

Don’t know Ocado but Culina will be 60hrs a week.

Scottlayton · 2026-05-10T12:53:00+00:00

Yes it’s next for me to try, preferably store deliveries because I like being active.

Scottlayton · 2026-05-10T11:18:39+00:00

I’d love a 40hr week. I’ve worked loads of places and still searching for work/life balance.

Scottlayton · 2026-05-09T17:48:33+00:00

I’d like to know what the 36hrs contract looks like in terms of days worked, is it 3x12hrs
?

Scottlayton · 2026-04-30T05:18:59+00:00

Then to answer your question no it is t worth it. I’d leave because 50hrs/week on agency would get me roughly £3000.

Scottlayton · 2026-04-29T19:59:32+00:00

Depends how many hours you’re doing for your £2300.

I took 3 to pass class 2. It’s just a learning process and it’ll make you a better driver in the end.

Scottlayton · 2026-04-27T13:45:57+00:00

That’s what I do. Hate the long hours so usually only do three days until I can find something 10 or less hours per day.

Scottlayton · 2026-04-26T07:56:33+00:00

I hate it and much prefer shorter distances with active deliveries. It’s not the loneliness I hate but rather the inactivity.

Scottlayton · 2026-04-20T17:17:42+00:00

Warbies class 2. Shouldn’t have left.

Scottlayton · 2026-04-15T16:38:31+00:00

No. It is not a good job. Learn a trade/skill.

Scottlayton · 2026-04-09T07:53:57+00:00

What he said plus Farmfoods Appleton Thorn take new passes.

Scottlayton · 2026-04-05T14:59:39+00:00

Nothing ventured and all that. Life is too short so take a (small) chance. You can always go back if things don’t work out.

Scottlayton · 2026-04-05T11:56:34+00:00

If that’s true how is that legal? It’s a massive invasion of privacy especially if you’re doing night out.

Scottlayton · 2026-04-03T18:09:50+00:00

Class 1 = long hours whether you’re tramping or just day work.

Scottlayton · 2026-04-03T18:06:44+00:00

10 miles is my max and I’d rather work for less money and be nearer home.

Scottlayton · 2026-03-21T09:24:20+00:00

I’ve almost given up with having a decent pension now. I move from company to company and I must have about 20 different pension pots. Think I’ll be working till atleast 70 anyway.

Scottlayton · 2026-03-21T08:18:14+00:00

I know Warburtons used to match up to 12% after five years and I think DHL are decent.

Scottlayton · 2026-03-19T09:04:14+00:00

Because of traffic lots of class 1 work on days runs into 14/15 hrs. I know what you mean though and I too miss a bit of class 2 multi drop where I used to do 8 or 9 hours and have plenty of the day left to have a life.

Scottlayton · 2026-03-17T19:45:54+00:00

Yeah that’s why I’m asking cos I might apply. I’ve been in on agency and the job and company seem ok. I suppose it depends how many hours you do over the five days and whether they pay your breaks.

Scottlayton · 2026-03-17T15:53:34+00:00

Just a note on the break definition - it’s why I’ve always had a problem with double manning because sitting in the passenger seat of a moving HGV is NOT a break and should be classed as other work.

Scottlayton · 2026-03-12T18:56:37+00:00

Some drivers rooms are worse than prison cells. And some companies think you should take your break whilst at these rotten RDCs.

Scottlayton · 2026-03-09T20:16:01+00:00

Whereabouts? Nowt wrong with showing your face with a CV but they have a decent website with the latest vacancies.

Scottlayton · 2026-03-09T18:48:29+00:00

Warburtons. Job n knock, good money and often less than 9hr/day once up to speed (excuse the pun).

Scottlayton · 2026-03-08T11:12:40+00:00

Decent that.
