Only if they can back it up with some weird Masonic handshake.
Ironically trundling around the local garages with a zb day cab motor doing silly shift patterns.You’d think it would be typical agency fodder crap as bad as if not worse than building deliveries.Except in this case the stuff is a bit more volatile than bricks/blocks and slabs with the lose lose that it still needs handling of heavy hoses.
Sure you will most likely end up driving day cab vehicles, however there are plenty of companies that use sleeper cabs too.
If you want to drive a top end vehicle then Fuel Tankers is not really the place for you.
The shift patterns are varied, with the best patterns no longer available, but 4 on 4 off or 5 on 3 off widely available. These shift patterns have become much more common throughout the Haulage industry and I have seen on this forum that drivers do like those shift patterns. It’s not for everyone.
As for lifting heavy hoses, it’s in all in the technique, which you will be shown during your training.
You will be expected to follow the rules and procedures with checks taking place and for that you will be paid higher than average wages. (In most cases).
4 on 4 off is great if it’s all day work but not much use if you’re too knackered to make use of the 4 days off doing nights or regularly switching shifts.
Yep I know all about the ‘tecnhnique’ for handling hoses fire truck testing didn’t just involve their road performance.If they are even anything like those probably not exactly the same thing as a milk tanker.
As in all cases the downsides of any truck driving job can be minimised by lots of distance and therefore driving between delivery points.Obviously no chance of that doing local garage drops.

Have you ever spoken to the doctor about your unusual lack of stamina?

I was actually referring to switching the body clock between nights to days over a short period of time.Let me guess nature forgot to fit you with such a thing. That’s assuming you’ve ever even done much shift work or night work to find out.
Here’s a clue weekends generally means two nights off and 4 off won’t be any different.Let alone if they also expect a switch from night shift to day shift and vice versa during that period of time.
Others have made references to brutal shift patterns on the topic.

You know what’s happened every other time you’ve tried to dismiss my experience don’t you?! You’ve really got to stop this self flagellation.
Face it, you were never ever cut out to be a lorry driver and your career just proved everyone right. There’s nothing wrong with being feeble, not everyone is cut out for a normal working career.
