This is possibly a bit unfair so please read all
This is possibly a bit unfair because I have no direct issue with Building Shop themselves however Travis Perkins were the ones who delivered it, or should I say didn’t deliver it, you would think a company that size would have drivers assessed before they employ them to drive vehicles of such size, but it’s apparent that’s not the case, the driver rang to say he’d be 20 mins, I told him I’d be there to meet him and take the role of banksman to guide him in as it was a tight narrow lane, immediately by the tone of his voice the customer said £50 says he refuses to deliver, how right he was, 45 mins later he eventually arrive and after a considerable time and whining to his depot when I rang they said the poor little darling said it was too tight so that was that, I’ve been a professional driver for over 30 years of HGV class 1 driving heavy haulage, bulk tippers, transporters etc and as such your job is to deliver anywhere your vehicle will fit, apparently that’s not the TP way, so after 3 no hassle deliveries of stone and sand products with vehicles of the same size or even bigger TP were the only ones to not complete delivery leaving us to move a pallet of paving slabs after unloading onto a grass verge, genuinely that driver shouldn’t be within touching distance of that truck, utterly incompetent with a can’t be arsed attitude 😡
