How bigger rear has the government got ? As the general consensus from most drivers is
F off !

What the duck are they going to do when we all say no. Except for the hourly paid brigade, they’ll all be going, oh look at the extra money.

I’m hourly paid ! But I do like my sleep and not still running at 10pm when I started at 6am

Yeah, but there is sensible hourly paid drivers and then there’s the lot that only see pound signs.

I’ve been hunted by, the commissoners, vosa, now dsva,
For 38 years.
Bollox to doing more hours.
Sort the bloody industry out, level playing ground,
Forget about 15 hour days.
Who the hell does 15 hour days.
Apart from fishermen an farmers.
There is no need for any driver to live with a pretty average wage, for extreme hours, conditions,
This is going to end badly for government they just don’t get it.
An so called professional bodies useless.
Train more drivers they say.
So we still live with pay an conditions we have now.
Great.
Why can’t they address the driver shortage problem that was with us in early 90s.
Get a historian to detail why the job was so zb
For tramping it’s a ■■■■ sight harder. Now than then.
No good days is there.
An they still won’t drop driver cpc eh.
Shows what they know,
But their suits why would they care about another reason drivers say zb it I’m off, had it

They’ve not decided yet. I think they want to get us all onside before informing us that they haven’t a clue about working hours.

Bad marriage this

53

Sploom:
It’s something about the weekly rest,but I can’t find much info on it…[/quote
No one can mate. But general reaction is foxtrot off no way
We aren’t doing extra.
1st lockdown shelves were empty when I came back.
Panic buying.
They were sat at home getting payed for months.
I couldn’t buy stuff I needed for 2 weeks away so yeah sod the great British public.
Il work when I want to days I want to. If I want to.
National emergency at moment Well they should have looked after us eh
Remember a transport minister spent a night in a cab in a depot as a publicity stunt.
An laughed not in a good way.
Basically making us out to be sub human.
Well us sub humans are laughing now.
It’s them that ain’t got a bottle to ■■■■ in…
It’s all crashing down.
An personally I couldn’t be more delighted.
Don’t get me wrong if nhs etc needed class 2 s I’d do it. If rubbish wasn’t being collected I’d do it, essential services must be maintained.but I think army will be deployed on rubbish detail like in the 70s.

You can from next week drive non stop until you are 73 years old, just like they do in the States. In fact it’s illegal in the
States to pull in for a break if you are under 65= years old

I like your sense of humour mate. That is a funny reply!!

Not true. They do have driver logs.

Think rules are something like 11hrs driving in a day, 14hr spread, 10hr rest. Think break is also not defined by driving and it’s something like 30 mins after 8? Maybe 7? hours of duty

No he was an elderly crippled bigot with a perchant for ladies of a younger variety and conspiracy theories. Rest in peace dear Carryfast, you’ll be missed.
