Review of Browns Distribution

As a relatively new recruit to Browns Distribution...

As a relatively new recruit to Browns Distribution after 11 years with arguably one of the highest profile hauliers in the country I have to say I have been pleasantly surprised by my experiences thus far.

The M.D. is clearly moving the business forward, they are undergoing a fleet (both truck and trailer) update, new Scania trucks along with Dekker trailers.

From an employee / Drivers perspective I find it a pleasant change to be asked rather than told to do things, to be thanked and told well done still leaves me asking myself did I just hear that?! very much a company that s got the right ideas and heading in the right direction (if you pardon the pun!)

As to those who claim the drivers act in a law unto themselves matter from what I ve seen and practice myself I would merely say it s easy to berate an articulated truck driver when you ve never driven one yourself, were Browns or indeed any other HGV1 driver to actually drive in such a manner there would indeed be fatalities a plenty.
We spend our days allowing for the actions of those around us, sometimes - often perhaps- this may be perceived as aggression or thoughtless driving, I assure you from my perspective at least it s anything but.
I and my colleagues are professional drivers and pride ourselves in what we do, it s a hard enough job to do without comment that isn t backed up by reality.
