Job advert on here .Who in their right mind thinks that Hving to work EVERY Other Saturday is sociable
Somebody who likes getting out of bed at 6am in a morning setting off to work at 6.30am and knowing they’ll be walking back through their front door at 5.30pm no matter what happens after pottering around the locality at a nice steady pace all day.
It is literally as close to a non-driving job as you can get for knowing what time you’ll be starting and finishing.
Also building deliveries can be as close to a building labourer’s job as it gets.Ironically I don’t ever remember being asked to work Saturdays doing that on agency work and the hours were more or less as you’ve described during the week.No surprise that most drivers including myself preferred doing a decent distance run on a few bulk drops/collections for example.
Also no surprise which type of work the agency had the most of in that regard and the most trouble filling.
IE it’s sometimes better to do maybe a few more hours,but preferably starting a bit later finishing later,doing decent distance work which gets you out of town and mostly a shift made up of driving.
