Report
Two Heaver Lorries blocked both sides of the main road during rush hour to have a chat!!!! After giving them the beep to get them moving one of them (WL10 HBL) then dangerously changed lanes and tried to run me off the road. I tried to complain to a senior staff member whose Surname was Heaver who didn't take it seriously!! As per other similar reviews on here, This company obviously has no respect for the roads or public that keep them in jobs.
Disgrace!!!!

I used Heaver bros to store some furniture in during a recent house move. The container was in excellent condition and kept all our belongs dry. The container was very competitively priced and the staff were very friendly & polite. I could only highly recommend this company as they were a pleasure to deal with.

Report
Had the unfortunate situation of be stuck behind this lorry whose driver had taken it upon himself to block both lanes of the A36 to stop cars using the outside lane, dispite the merge point being nearly a mile up the road. Called the office and explained their driver was contraveaning the highway code and could they contact their driver to stop. After confirming they would, the ignorant driver continued to block both lanes for another 20 plus minutes. A professional driver and company of this nature should no better. VERY POOR
