Well I’ve had enough, Travis Perkins have done it for me, since I’ve been on this contract with DHL, the money’s been ok & the hours are not too bad, no weekends with Rest days 2 weeks out of 3, good Contributory Pension, reasonable holidays etc etc-
but Travis Perkins !
WTF ?
All the BS H&S, the sitting around at depots, waiting/hoping that they might unload you within the next hour or two, starting at 04.00 or 05.00 & 06.00 & recently still waiting most mornings for an hour or two for a load. Regularly Routing for 14/15 hours, although we do get the odd easy day.
Sitting on the Bloody A14, A34, M1, M25, Dartford, Heathrow M27, M3 blah blah blah for hours on end (even though I’m paid for it)
Lady V & I have been playing with the spreadsheets & we’ve come to the conclusion that we don’t need all this BS any more, we’ve got a brand new Motorhome & want to enjoy using it, (away from the south east [emoji6]) & I’ve got loads of decorating to do, not done because of all the hours I’ve been doing for the last 10 Year’s.
It’s been a pleasure having the Crack on here for the last few years although I’ve not been on here much the last few months & I feel that I’ve made a few friends on here & a few that I’ve met on the road.
Hope to keep contributing to Trucknet although not from a professional position.
Last working day will be Friday 27th October.
