Working out of the Port Of Felixstowe
This article is for the points of view of truckers who have the sad misfortune to have to work out of the Port Of Felixstowe container terminals, both Trinity (36 park) and Landgard (72 park). It is to act as a forum for people to share their views be they good or bad so long as they relate to the container side of operations at the Port Of Felixstowe, Dooley terminal is not included at this time.

I would like to start by saying that as far as I am concerned, I have no problem with the Landgard terminal (72 park), my gripe lies with Trinity terminal (36 park), it seems that no matter what time of day I go on to the terminal, I can never just be straight on and straight off, I always have to sit there and wait for the cretin up in the crane to come and lift my container on/off my truck, the problem is that the union run the port, not the management, the management are just for show, they have no power over the workforce, this is evident immediately to be seen as you enter the terminal, the staff in the office have Sky television as do the staff at the out gates, the out gate staff are probably the worst of them all though, a lazier bunch of blokes you could never meet.

You know it pisses me off writing about these tossers who call themselves dockers so I am going to say no more suffice to suggest that you go and see for yourselves, please be aware that if you do decide to go and visit and you don't have a container truck and a RHIDES card, make sure that you are able to hide with a friendly trucker who will take you on the quay to show you around as the port police will not let you on otherwise.
