How is it even possible you are legally allowed to drive 9 hours but you can legally work and drive 15 hours in
Re: How is it even possible you are legally allowed to drive 9 hours but you can legally work and drive 15 hours in
well, I do. Absolutely love my job, the company I work for is brilliant and the people I work with are lovely. I’m currently on maternity leave but I normally work 3 nights a week. I have found an ideal work/life balance. It’s bloody hard work as my other half is a tramper but I wouldn’t do it if I didn’t love it!

No one works because they love to work that's just unbelievable but maybe you don't mind working driving but your only working part time and probably just started in the game I wish you well with your maternity leave and word of advice spend your days with your children and not in a truckIaiPrime wrote: ↑Sun Apr 30, 2023 12:54 pmwell, I do.

Trucks cost a bloody fortune & need to be utilized to full..With long distance, tramping & international that u can only realistically have one driver u have to put a good day in.

You either like driving for a living or you don't. It's not always about the money for me... if there is time left on the card then I will keep her moving and the least time not moving (daily rest periods) the better! Nearly 15 years staring at closed curtains inside a box is not something I want to drag out

Re: How is it even possible you are legally allowed to drive 9 hours but you can legally work and drive 15 hours in
take it you must be a very rich man to be wanting all this as all costs will go sky high, no new houses, no food in shops and no extras to get the wife or kids a wee present and all because idiots are scared to do a decent shift but want big wages

Back to the old days. Tired, stop end go to bed. No need for legislation.
Re: How is it even possible you are legally allowed to drive 9 hours but you can legally work and drive 15 hours in
seems like bosses dont realize that when your tired it is bedtime now though because driving laws say you aren't.
Re: How is it even possible you are legally allowed to drive 9 hours but you can legally work and drive 15 hours in
you couldn't make it up the hours companies expect driver's to work the only solution is to reduce the daily working and driving combined hours to even say 11 that still would give them a loophole to exploit but given most drivers travel from home to a place of work to begin with and then have to travel home that's an extra 2 hours roughly on your working day rite away now that 11 becomes 13 so you have 11 left 1 hour for shower 10 1 hour for dinner 9 then bed for 8 get up 1 hour to get breakfast and off you go again it's still a lot 8 hours is a working day and should be in transport especially as it's a danger constantly without the driver being tired

Re: How is it even possible you are legally allowed to drive 9 hours but you can legally work and drive 15 hours in
OK, We will go on your theory. The NHS in Exeter are advertising for a Class 2 driver so not classed as a dodgy employer apparently. 7.5 hours a day so plenty of time at home. BUT you have to start at 05.00 and it less than £20k per year. In this industry you take your pick. If you don't like doing the hours then do less in a different job and get paid less.
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 makes me laugh with these people that say if you don't like it find a new job must be new bees or haven't been doing it long we are all just driver's as far as the manager think in the office BUT when the shit hits the fan we are professionals. So long hrs and living in a truck is a single man's life and in the end something will break it's called work balance which we haven't got marriages break people break in this tread if you stay in long enough its fun at the start the first five years good luck
Re: How is it even possible you are legally allowed to drive 9 hours but you can legally work and drive 15 hours in

Everyone who has a right mind about them would do their homework before taking on the job. We all knew what we signed up for. Cost me a few relationships and not seeing my kids grow up. I bitterly regret that but have loved my time doing it. Just doing local nowadays as I don’t want to loose this one, she’s a keeper! Getting too old for tramping on the continent for a couple of weeks at a time anyway. Work to live, not the other way around. Good luck!

When the drivers hours were increased..employers took that as a legal requirement to make it the norm
It is always up to the driver..under safety regulations...if they gave me grief..i gave them more..and in the end
I refused to work 15 hr days..and refused to reduce my rest..so always had an 11hr one..however there are idiots who worked on an hourly rate as they have often posted..that by making the working day shorter..would give them less money.
Of course there are many changes that need to be made in this industry but it needs support of those that work in it..and should not discriminate against.
I worked in this industry for 55 years
And retired for real at aged 72..am 76 now..so got my feet up..but my head is still with those still working.

Do another job if you don't like it. You knew what you were getting into it's always been the same. You can't change the industry but you can change your 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
Tell me about it long hours and poor pay is worn like a badge of honour. It most definitely a life style. After 20 years I am slowly being driven out by poor conditions more than pay, money is not my motivation but being at work for 20 hours more a week due to loop holes in the wtd and being salaried means the pay becomes very poor as the big names exploit there work force on particular contracts.
Re: How is it even possible you are legally allowed to drive 9 hours but you can legally work and drive 15 hours in
salaried in the industry must be murder the company will have ya working for less than minimum wage when you do the math with salary divided by hours I wouldn't touch a salary in this industry no doubt the old trick game was played to get you to agree to it though fellaMunBlond wrote: ↑Sun Apr 30, 2023 1:21 pm Tell me about it long hours and poor pay is worn like a badge of honour.

Re: How is it even possible you are legally allowed to drive 9 hours but you can legally work and drive 15 hours in
Thing is he has a valid point and bosses exploit the Muppets that will do these hours every day because to them it's not a job it's a vocation but the bottom line is that it is just a job and we should be paid accordingly and shouldn't have to do the hours that we do but bosses aren't daft they give the Muppets fancy trucks and glamorous destinations and have them working for peanuts but this at the end ov the day is a government problem they should be stepping in and cutting the legal hours by at least 5 hours a day and we should be going down the European rd no trucks on the rd at weekends except perishable goods it's not about wither you love your job or not it's about not being exploited for a job you enjoy

Got to say you are not exploited you are paid. The hrs have always been the same and are told what they are before you take the job. You also know what the legal hrs are when going for licence to be able to do the job. What makes you think it going to change for you. And let's face it we do sod all most off the day apart from sit there pointing it in the right direction.miJeans12 wrote: ↑Sun Apr 30, 2023 1:24 pm Thing is he has a valid point and bosses exploit the Muppets that will do these hours every day because to them it's not a job it's a vocation but the bottom line is that it is just a job and we should be paid accordingly and shouldn't have to do the hours that we do but bosses aren't daft they give the Muppets fancy trucks and glamorous destinations and have them working for peanuts but this at the end ov the day is a government problem they should be stepping in and cutting the legal hours by at least 5 hours a day and we should be going down the European rd no trucks on the rd at weekends except perishable goods it's not about wither you love your job or not it's about not being exploited for a job you enjoy
