On class2 food multidrop since summer. Can start anytime between 1am and 8am with no particular pattern and short notice. Got my class1 but ever worked it.
What time do you all start work? Is general haulage as early starts? Question for both class1+2 folk!
Hauling spuds…
For Mason Bros, Boston, I had the most ridiculous start times. They’d want delivery in Northwich for 7am, I’d be getting up at half one, into the yard for half two, tyres kicked and out by 3. That gave me 45 minutes to play with for traffic or when I inevitably fell off my perch when the sun came up. FYI, when I got there at 7, they promptly all buggered off for breakfast anyway. Never got tipped till 8ish regardless.
If you want to get ahead of the game, you have to start at silly o’clock. Sadly, the drivers hours allows such stupidity to continue.
