Report
If their driver standards are anything to go by obviously born to the wild. The driver of S300 RFS stood from the passenger side of his vehicle and urinated directly onto my nice clean, polished truck in the lanes at Irish Ferries Dublin terminal while awaiting loading onto the 20:55 ferry. If the driver has no personal dignity the company can’t be much better!

Rhodes Freight Services are under rated... Most reliable company I have used in the UK. Local for me in Iver, highly recommend this temperature controlled transport company! From customer service to final delivery, well trusted in my books.
