Carryfast:
Please say that the ‘fridge’ work wasn’t mostly palletised, full load, distance work.
Hiab work on agency was one of the closest commutes I ever had and more or less the worst job of them all apart from even worse scaffolding and shuttering which wasn’t a much further commute either.
Anything to do with the building trade is usually local runs interspersed with loads of scope for aggro from site foremen and handball lots of handball labouring both on site and back at the yard between deliveries possibly having to breakdown and make up packs of blocks/bricks from to stock and especially paving slabs etc, regardless of having the crane which can be a load of aggro in itself.
On that note at least ask them if the job involves any yard labouring duties and if there is any paving slab work in the loads because they don’t usually like Hiabs and vice versa and they are bleedin heavy.If either of those is a yes run back to the fridge job and don’t look back.
Shock horror … “delivery” driver may have to do something other than just “drive” within his working day.
Are you ever going to give it a rest with your “bulk, full load, distance” whinge
