Job benefits

If a job requires you to do other stuff besides drive and they state that such as this job in the OP, where’s the issue? It isn’t your divine right as an HGV licence holder that you solely sit behind the wheel for 9-10 hours a day and do nothing else.

The most fondly remembered time of my working career will always be doing roadshow work, when I would typically drive one day a week and spend the rest of the time maintaining the generator, cleaning the trailer including mopping the floors, handing out leaflets and freebies, serving drinks to clients and a million-and-one other things which didn’t involve driving a truck.

Not quite on the level of job you describe Harry but one of my favourite jobs was the 2 years I spent on agency working for the CO-OP. To a lot of drivers, probably a nightmare job but I really enjoyed my time there.

I used to work with one guy who did the exhibition/event type stuff you describe and he loved it. Drive to event then spend a few days setting up tents/gazebo’s, trailers, stalls etc and also getting involved with things like cooking and drinks.
