no not alcester… nwk
there is ALWAYS somthing to moan about in transport lol… but one thing i was very weary about was making sure that if i was going away for the weekend / holiday etc i would take an extra day before as the who ever organized the runs would put you on a late start late finish run the day before just a nasty tactic that ■■■■■■ you off ( not just to me either )
like i said when i first started it was ok then the hours started to stretch long delays at drops or collections with little compensation in the form of shorter runs later in the week

Dozy, why have you started posting pics on their side? You didn’t use to do that

That’s how he rolls!!!

How has tramping affected my wife and kids? They were rubbish at it, that’s how. They set off for Reading and I didn’t see them for four years! That’s when we decided that I’d make a better tramper.

Mine was ok till I retired, now she keeps complaining :frowning:

nope not there, i did end up doing a few 15 hour shifts as did other drivers due to bad management…

once i had to start at 06.00 on boxing day and there was 3 agency drivers standing about doing nothing but said they were on double time and guaranteed 8 hours…

so i thought great looks like a quick easy day as there is nothing to do but i got shafted and ended up doing a 12 hour shift but got paid 10…

i found out a few days later the agency guys were sent home after 4 hours and got paid 16 !!

aye great place :unamused:
