Does the job make you stressed?

The job don’t get me stressed, the job helps me de-stress! Your load gets there when it gets there, simples! The traffic office do all the worrying and stressing for me, I drive and do as best as I can!
If the wheels ent turning, I AM still earning! :slight_smile:

Doesn’t stress me, i feel safe cocooned in my own little world. 49mph trundling along doing 7-8 drops then 1 collection. Get held up then it means more overtime sit there and get paid to sleep. Never answer the phone never read the isotrak messages just do whats on that trip sheet.

I get stressed driving a car funny enough.

I bet this 1 works for some crappy supermarket chain & finds it funny that he can drive about at 49mph holding the rest of us up-same person wonders why his company ends up contracting third parties to to the job quicker & moans when he gets made redundant as a result…

I think you’ll find many of these are limited to 50 now. Get used to it and stop stressing.

Was just going to say how much good advice was on this thread until… Ah well, no point stressing over it.

If the job causes you stress, then it is likely that you do not possess the ability to perform the job.
Perhaps a change of occupation may be wise.

What a load of absolutely pontificting bollox. I have done the job for many years without any major complaints from any employer, or in the last twenty years as a haulier in my own right, from any customers. Your attitude would stress me if you worked for me but I promise you now it would not beat me. I retired recently and I can still feel the stress easing out of me. I now work when I want to but this does not mean that I do the job any less (or more) professionally than I have always done it. Regards Kevmac47

sorry kevmac, didnt mean to get you stressed, enjoy your retirement :wink:

I have days when I get stressed out, I hate being late as most of my customers get used to a certain time I get there, however when I am late it is very rarely my fault normally I’ve been waiting fir my truck to be loaded… Even though they have had all night to do it!!
But I’ve learnt to just get on with the day as normal because you are not going to get it done quicker by stressing out.

the job doesnt stress me, other drivers generally do though.the level of incompitance on our roads is amazing :unamused: ,but as im paid by the hour it takes as long as it takes :imp: JUST DONT UNDERTAKE ME AND USE YOUR BLOODY INDICATORS :evil: :unamused:
