Depends what you want. It's about the easiest job out there. But there is a lot of waiting around and a lot of over the top Amazon procedures to put up with.
Suits some people and not others

Be better if you can sit in your cab for 2-3 hours whilst waiting for trailers instead of a canteen full of marshalls and there loud radios. If you touch lucky some depots allow you to.

nightmare sometimes isn't it. They talk about health and safety, drivers having a proper break/rest is required, but how can you have a bit of a proper chill/relax or even a bit of a kip If your feeling tired in a canteen that's rammed, baffles me

Cov is sh**e everytime I’ve been in there it’s been cancelled but the wankers never tell you before cause they want the trailer 😂
To be fair the jobs easy as long as you don’t mind dossing in a room full of flip flop wearing kolega’s 👍

Easiest job around. The app tells you what to do and etc (doesn't tell you when to take breaks of course that's your responsibility).
You have yard Marshall watching you in the yards and if you don't know something, ask them or the offices.
You sometimes are not allowed to sit in the cab whilst waiting, you have to sit in the canteen but they have free hot drinks (90% of the canteens do).
I honestly don't know why people complain about the job but also everyone is different.
Good luck
