yorkshireborn:
who said anything about putting diesel in the tank?
No one that was just an example of what drivers shouldn’t pay for
yorkshireborn:
who said that the driver should pay for parking from his own pocket?
you did but not in quite a blunt way and I quote
yorkshireborn:
to pay for the parking, regardless of if he can claim it back your boss must firstly have the money.
yorkshireborn:
i pay when load dictates it, but not for every night,
why didn’t you say that in your original post then, the way I read it was that you wouldn’t pay parking as it was too expensive!!!
yorkshireborn:
if you read my post you would have picked up i am my own boss
so back to the question is who ‘stupid’ ?
so you run your own wagon/s (who knows how many you run) but you wont pay parking for your wagon to be secure if the load doesn’t warrant it? but expect it to return untouched by the filthy hands of thieving scum if its empty? So are you willing to pay your driver for his driving then when he clocks off as a driver pay him as a security guard for the rest of the night! I think not!
yorkshireborn:
to pay for the parking, regardless of if he can claim it back your boss must firstly have the money.
so if you cant afford to reimburse drivers for parking they should pay out of their own pocket! I get it, you can afford to run a business (and I hope it is a successful one, as these are getting fewer and further between nowadays) but you cant afford to pay for parking for your wagons but expect your drivers to afford it if they aremnt carrying anything and they want to be safe!
Also I thought you had to have good financial standing to operate on an o licence? Or have I read this wrong and as long as you have £10 in your wallet to pay for your espresso’s and red bull that’s all cool! ■■■■ the driver that has to sleep in a lay-by and ■■■■ in a carrier bag!
yorkshireborn:
if only some ‘professional’ drivers could see both sides the job may be a little better for everyone involved
if only some bosses would think about the welfare of drivers and try to keep them as safe from crime/kidnappings/beatings instead of penny pinching! And put the wages back up when the work picks up again!
This is not aimed at the few that run single or a couple of wagons, this is aimed at the larger companies that don’t give a ■■■■ about drivers as they are just a pay number!
