How is it even possible you are legally allowed to drive 9 hours but you can legally work and drive 15 hours in
The mind boggles? some drivers sound as though they enjoy working & driving for 15 hours per day. Having no family life or even life in general. Tired all weekend from hours worked during the week. A normal job is 8 hours per day. Driving hgv vehicles is dangerous and should be made to be done so in a safe manner. How many drivers have been behind a hgv driving and you just know the driver in front is falling asleep behind the wheel. Simply because he is all over the road as he is being made to work extremely long hours. How is it even possible you are legally allowed to drive 9 hours but you can legally work and drive 15 hours in total. I reckon there is some loophole somewhere being totally exploited from companies and transport management jockeys. That don't have a clue about driving, the law simply should be work and drive 8 hours per day then we will see the hourly rate go up as companies won't be able to get away with paying low rates. To force drivers to do overtime yes I said force. Think about it they pay low rates so you have to beast the overtime to make a livable wage

Simple answer if you don’t like the job get out!!!! In other words what people do, is there business not yours!

Can you imagine the cost of living if we all did 8 hour days you would basically double the amount of vehicles on the road and double the cost of moving goods on the road.

Some people are fine with them hours, effects everyone differently, u you are tired etc. pull over or if you think job is dangerous find a new job
Re: How is it even possible you are legally allowed to drive 9 hours but you can legally work and drive 15 hours in
Don't like it find another job
Re: How is it even possible you are legally allowed to drive 9 hours but you can legally work and drive 15 hours in
I like my job. Yes, I do a lot of hours but it is just me so if I did 8hours every day I would basically be homeless or living in a hovel. Some people have it bred in to them to work. Guess that is me

Some people think you’re not a proper driver unless you’re maxing the hours. Let them get on with it, less for me to do…

Clearly just a steering wheel attendant and a snowflake, the job has always been long hours don’t like it there’s the door!!

he’s taking about driver health and you disregard him so easily. You’re the reason some industries don’t see change for the workforce.
Re: How is it even possible you are legally allowed to drive 9 hours but you can legally work and drive 15 hours in
let’s be right at what point does any of us actually work 15 hour we may attend for 15 hours but we aren’t constantly working that long! The more 8 hour days people do the more traffic and movements there would be we wouldn’t move the country would be gridlockedjacChilled wrote: ↑Sun Apr 30, 2023 9:50 amhe’s taking about driver health and you disregard him so easily.

Punctuation aside you've made a valid point. The pressure to do long hours or you're not man enough is ridiculous in this day and age.
Re: How is it even possible you are legally allowed to drive 9 hours but you can legally work and drive 15 hours in
I’m out Monday to Friday, I’d drive 15 hours a day if it was up to me, I’ve got nothing else to do. It’s more tiring driving a car for 6 hours.
Re: How is it even possible you are legally allowed to drive 9 hours but you can legally work and drive 15 hours in
Listen were paid by the hour if we could do more to make more we would that's why the rules n regs are there
Re: How is it even possible you are legally allowed to drive 9 hours but you can legally work and drive 15 hours in
I average 55 hrs a week and earn a good wage. There's plenty of jobs out there that don't require to max out the hours, you've just got to go out and find them. It's their choice to do it.
Re: How is it even possible you are legally allowed to drive 9 hours but you can legally work and drive 15 hours in
Unfortunately the dinosaurs in this industry think they’re top blokes for maxing hours out and doing 6 day weeks in a tin box.
While they pay rent / mortgage and finance on a car sat in the work car park all week. And anyone demanding fair play is told you should try and run truck’s and stop being greedy. nothing more than mugs these driver’s.

I’m salaried so no advantage to do extra hours. It’s my choice whether I do 15 or 8 hours, normally Max hours mon/ Tuesday have a 10 on Wednesday 8 on Thursday and home fri/sat/sun. Suits me suits my boss
Re: How is it even possible you are legally allowed to drive 9 hours but you can legally work and drive 15 hours in
if your salaried then doing long hours isn't beneficial to you, just your boss

Re: How is it even possible you are legally allowed to drive 9 hours but you can legally work and drive 15 hours in
I did but I never once complained when I was driving about being away all week or 15 hour days etc. Tramping always has been and always will be sleeping in a tin can and missing out on family occasions etc, if you don't want to do that there is no point moaning about it that's the job, you came off tramping for day work for a better work life balance and I came off the road for the same reason.
Re: How is it even possible you are legally allowed to drive 9 hours but you can legally work and drive 15 hours in

no of course it isn’t, but if your going to be away anyway, why wouldn’t you want to max your hours, I fully understand why you wouldn’t want to do those sorts of hours as a day man.NorRonz wrote: ↑Sun Apr 30, 2023 10:16 amstill nothing like homelifecollander44 wrote: ↑Sun Apr 30, 2023 10:16 ampaid by the hour trampers, that’s who, why would I want to spend 12hrs a day away from home not being paid, I’m already away, I want as many hrs as I can to make that sacrifice as worthwhile as possible.

All the time there are people like you in the industry it won't change. Back in the 70's even when running dodgy with log books I never worked the hours drivers are aloud to work legally today.

You should just do supermarket work then, no pressure to do any more than your contracted hours, home every day. I've been looking at other jobs to see what's about, and all the jobs outside of supermarkets (that isn't agency work) is usually a lower hourly rate but more hours to get similar rate to my current job (and my current job is one of the lower paid supermarkets)

ah, I'm on 9 hour shifts at Asda chilled. At Asda ambient in Warrington, they're on 8 hour a day contracts. I'll admit I do work weekends, but that's only because I asked for permanent Tuesday and Wednesdays off. That's changing after the Easter rota is done so I'll be on a 6 week rota with 3 weekends in and 3 weekends off. 8 days out of the 6 weeks will be 11.25 hour shifts, the other working days will be 9s.jayVanderr wrote: ↑Sun Apr 30, 2023 10:31 amdon’t agree.. supermarket work is all shifts so kiss weekends home goodbye.. tesco contracts state 12 hour days so still long hours + whatever commute you have to do so no better off..RoCanyons wrote: ↑Sun Apr 30, 2023 10:29 am You should just do supermarket work then, no pressure to do any more than your contracted hours, home every day.

If you’re tramping what is the point of doing 8/9hrs per day I do 4 on 3 off every week (Fri to Mon) I max my hours out and earn as much as possible, I then have 3 days at home to chill.
Re: How is it even possible you are legally allowed to drive 9 hours but you can legally work and drive 15 hours in
I thought they should change the law so we can only work 12 hours then have 12 hours off. Keep everything simple,

A "normal" job is 8hrs a day Mon to Fri, "normal" pay rate is say, £12 p/h. So that £96 per day minus your dinner break so that £84 a day before tax and in which come to roughly £17, which equates to £67 a day take home x5 equals £335 per week. Take out of that mortgage/rent, gas, electric, food, car costs and that's gone before Saturday...now who has no life
Re: How is it even possible you are legally allowed to drive 9 hours but you can legally work and drive 15 hours in
Believe me doing 13 and 15 hours everyday is gonna take its toll on you in the end.
Re: How is it even possible you are legally allowed to drive 9 hours but you can legally work and drive 15 hours in
It’s not just drivers that get long shifts
Reading these pages you would think it’s the only profession that does and some so t have the luxury of 3 days max some people do 7 days a week

It's not really a surprise why so many drivers have heart attacks or strokes. For the most if they do get to retire they are dead by 70. Long hours, sedentary lifestyle. Poor diet. Night work. Some drivers seem in denial its killing them.

Gave up tramping to be home, pay cut no glory or exotic nights out...simple daytime work AND a grateful office..but an excellent work/home life balance

only reason I'm tramping is because I was offered 4 on 4 off. Works well, I'm at home way more than I was doing 5 on 2 off days.MadGlimmer wrote: ↑Sun Apr 30, 2023 10:47 am Gave up tramping to be home, pay cut no glory or exotic nights out...simple daytime work AND a grateful office..but an excellent work/home life balance

Pretty sure I heard a statistic that currently per capita you are more likely to die as a HGV Driver on the job than you are in the military.

If you do a job you love you’ll never work a day in your life - clearly half of you lot are unfortunate

So many crybabies
All mown about the younger generation no wanting to work but greet because they have to steer a wheel slightly for most of their working day
Go try a few undervalued and under paid jobs and you'll see how decent you've got it
Reducing the hrs would reduce wages not increase them
