What can I say? If the company is like there driver of vehicle registration WR70FVT who followed our car on the M27 through the road works at a distance of no more that 5 to 7 meters today I'd avoid them. Dangerous to say the least.

First time using emmerson transport having being recommended by a friend, prices very reasonable compared to their competitors. Friendly experienced driver called Andrew done the grab for me. Will definitely use again in the future for a rubble collection. Would of been 5 stars but gave a 4 because I never received a phone call from the office to say what time the driver would be arriving as I could of been out, that aside Im very happy with the service.

Report
Emmerson Transport Limited driver almost crushed my car at the end of a merging road off a roundabout this evening on Newgate lane @ 1630. I had already arrived at the end of the merging of two lanes, there was room behind me, but your driver elected to use your company vehicle, 10 times the mass of my car with a registration containing the letters HX7 TYF, as a battering ram. I had no choice but to squeeze out whilst using my horn to tell him I was there, but he carried on until there was less than an inch, using his horn. Once I past him, he leaned out of his cab yelling at me to get out
