Show me a class 1 truck driving job that starts at 0930 and guarantees you’ll be pulling your card at 1800 hours 5 days a week.That’s 8.5 hrs x 5 days = 42.5hrs.
I work an average of 42 hours per calendar week working 4 on 4 off and never work extra shifts. Anybody working that shift pattern would be the same, of which there are thousands, if not tens of thousands.
I also know quite a few Tesco supermarket drivers who only do 9 hours a day. Which works out to be 42.5 a week after breaks are deducted. They basically refuse to do overtime. So once they are back from their first run they sit in canteen or office counting down the hours until they can go home doing [zb] all.
How does this work? Well, lets say their run takes 6 hours. the office has to give them a job that only lasts 3 hours max. But with vehicle checks etc its very rare that there is a 3 hour run they can do in time.Most drivers dont do this to be fair but a few do.
Didn’t they do their checks before their first run?
