Report
Just left Neil and his team of great drivers and transport managers a couple of weeks a go. My time with R T McEwan was great met some excellent drivers, who taught me what I needed to know to get through my shift. There Palletline distribution is first class. I only left to further my career back in the Oil and Gas. If you ever get the chance to drive for R T McEwan will not be disappointed.
