🚛 “WE’VE LISTENED TO DRIVER FEEDBACK…”

Now THERE’S a sentence I like to hear.

Certas Energy have announced a £500,000 investment into Watling Street Truckstop… and this isn’t about slapping up a few fresh signs and calling it a transformation.

Because the plans are heavily focused on the things drivers actually need:

⚠️ Better security with CCTV, fencing, barriers and bodycam-equipped guards
🍔 Improvements to food and facilities
⛽ HVO, AdBlue® and diesel availability
💳 Fuel cards and FuelTapp payments
🔋 Future plans for E-HGV and EV charging

Drivers have spent YEARS shouting about:
🚿 Dirty showers
🍟 Poor food
💡 Bad lighting
🚛 Unsafe parking
💰 And paying a fortune for the privilege of stopping somewhere grim

So when a company openly says driver feedback is shaping investment decisions… that deserves recognition.

Of course, the real verdict won’t come from press releases or polished announcements.

It’ll come from the drivers pulling in after a long shift thinking:

“Actually… this place is alright.” 😉

And that’s the beauty of MyTruckStop.co.uk.

The reviews will tell the real story:
👍 What’s improved
👎 What still needs work
🗣️ And whether the investment genuinely delivers for drivers

Because in this industry, there’s a massive difference between:
“A proper upgrade”
… and “putting lipstick on a lay-by.” 🚛🧡

MILTON KEYNES
New HGV Class 1 Contract coming soon. Junction 13 of the MI.
To to register your interest message us your contact number. Pay rates will be decent and for Ltd and Umbrella Paye.

Work will entail trunking high-quality furniture between the National Distribution Centre and Regional Fulfilment Centres, and/or handling direct home deliveries on multi-drop routes. It is a physically demanding role that requires heavy lifting, vehicle unloading (cancel that gym membership!), and strong customer-facing skills.

• Loading & Unloading: Drivers are required to load, secure, and unload stock at various sites. If you are driving for home deliveries, you will be lifting bulky, heavy furniture and potentially helping with home installations.
• Customer Interaction: Drivers are the face of the brand. Home delivery drivers must provide excellent customer service and ensure customers are happy with their new furniture.
• Long Hours & Stays Out: Trunking roles usually involve a 5-day rota and can require a minimum of two nights out per week.
What the Job is Like
• Physical Demands: It is active work. Drivers do not just sit behind the wheel; you will be constantly on your feet, lifting heavy items, and navigating tight spaces.
• Remuneration & Benefits: As the work is physical, hourly pay will reflect this and for Class 1 positions it is well paid.

• Work-Life Balance: Like many retail and logistics roles, schedules can be intense. long hours, tight delivery timeframes, and weekend work.
• Many drivers praise the camaraderie and family-like team environment.
