Delivering to Lidl *HGV*

[@eezergoode8588]

I remember riding those pallet trucks around Sainsbury's on night shift. My manager rode up the other way and said I was a disgrace to health and safety and shouldn't be doing it.😅

[@gravemind6536]

Sounds like your manager was a funny guy

Have you ever delivered to Lidl in Manchester City centre, ANYONE... im about to take on a job delivering to lidls in manchester areas and the worst one is there, i need to know the way in and where the delivery street is etc, as it looks so bad to get to

[@bernardscott1783]

What a great insight mate. No sensor lights in the trailer.?

[@kaytrue]

I’m still confused about that some trailers that we have the lights work when the engine is off and some don’t but normally on bays they have a light that they swivel around so it points inside the trailer

Lidl's are a pain to deliver to, apart from maybe Runcorn and Doncaster.

That Peterborough?

Dod you realise your sat nav is in wrong illegal position. From 2015 you are allowed to use sat nav or mobile as a sat nav in bottom right corner of windscreen.

[@kaytrue]

I’ve just read up on what you said and yes you’re right, but in todays world with all these rules regulations and law we do so many things everyday that are illegal without even realising it! And I just don’t think it makes sense when they make these new vehicles with big screens in the centre console.

In my opinion that creates a larger blind spot for any overtaking cars, you wouldn't see them through the A pillar as quick, I'm leaving mine in the middle

[@EricWalsh-w2w]

Some lazy drivers don't plug the trucks in after use

[@cubatime72]

Literally the worst drop I've ever done. The most rude unhelpful people I've ever met. And after you've finished get ready for hours waiting for your release paperwork. Horrific Peterborough RDC

Lidl warehouses are the WORST to deliver to in Sweden.

[@kaytrue]

They need to make warehouse unload instead of drivers!

[@mikrosixtysix]

I like them in Finland

[@mikrosixtysix]

​@@kaytruehere in finland driver unloads and loads every load usually no matter what company or what load

[@Goat-vy2bi]

In Sweden if you deliver 3 pallets, you first go to ”checkpoint”. Takes 30 mins to get a dock. When you have unloaded you have to drive back to the checkpoint wich is on the other side of the building. they count 3 pallets and it takes 1 hour. Then they have to confirm it wich takes 30 mins. Insane, everyone who drove to Lidl in Sweden knows this is the death, owners of the trucking company loses money while delivering to Lidl because it takes so much time.

An then you can wait for your paperwork even 8 hours
