Thanks for the insight, for sure 60 hours in an office is enough to kill a man but 60 hours on the road I think would be doable.Congrats on the job, always reassuring seeing people being employed with literally no experience, gives me hope for when it’s my turn
Thanks, it’s certainly possible, just need to find the right company who will give you a chance.
It seems long hours, I mean I’m not fully used to these long days yet (my old job was about 43 hours a week mostly manual work) but in a typical day I might do 6 hours of driving, 3 hours on break/waiting to get loaded and another 3 hours actually getting loaded and tipping (I get the trailer ready and then just sit there until it’s finished pretty much)… of course different driving jobs might work differently… I also get paid for all the breaks unlike my previous job which was 1hr unpaid each day…
I think typically truck driving is long hours as you might get stuck in traffic, waiting ages to load or unload, etc.
