war1974:
it does crease me up that the 3 little trolls all hate driving but are on TNUK daily, If I have a hatred of something so bad the last thing I would be doing is a, coming onto the site at every opportunity and b, trying if I did not to make myself look ridiculous in the process.

Just takes desypete to make an appearance now prattling on about the dcpc and morons, and we’ve got the full set
not seen much of pete lately, has the Brussel sprout picking season started yet?
Yeh but he refused to take the BSPCPC
knew it would be a valid reason, no doubt he is currently on BSPUK regaling them all of tales of the good old days where you worked non stop and crapped in the field as you were picking them.
Id love to know who the resident t/net ■■■■■ pimpdaddy,v4olly and bordwivdriving work for ,all 3 are very bitter about lorry driving so ■■■■ knows why they spend their time on t/net, sad really
Personally i wont do a job for more than a month .
Most so called good jobs ive come across are only good because drivers are conditioned to have very low expectations
How on earth do you explain that work history to a prospective employer? It just screams “attitude problem”.
Maybe the reason you’re so dissatisfied with the job is because nobody decent wants to employ you.
boredwivdrivin:
The best way for GOOD drivers to change the dynamic is to continually change their employer. Any good driver who has held same job for more than a year is a disgrace .
Never heard so much ■■■■■■■■ since your new found mate A1WOLLY last posted. Why tf would you change a good job you liked and were satisfied with, in terms of pay and t c.s unless you were some kind of idiot.
I assume you can explain, or have I already answerd it myself.
Wolly is probably bordwivdrivin talking to himself.

The poster is a balloon. Wouldn’t entertain responding. He most likely states it’s better to move jobs after a month as the reality for him is that decision is made for him when he gets the boot. Presuming of course he isn’t “sock boy” of Acacia avenue.

I gave him the benefit of the doubt, I was wrong. I see that now.
2.5% pay rise with inflation at 0.4% gives a net increase of 2.1%
a 16.5% sounds great increase but with inflation at 17% gives a net LOSS of 0.5%
sure we’d all like a bigger rise but you have to take things in context.
Fuel costs have reduced.
As ever I expect that as ever insurance costs have risen. As I would think have replacement, maintenance and compliance costs.
CPC has added to costs for hauliers who pay for their drivers.
Pay rises have to come from operational savings, increased turnover or higher rates but as long as Stobart and the like keep leading the race to the bottom that’s not going to happen. How much have haulage rates gone up in the last 12 months if at all?

God preserve us from the insanity of the 1970s.
That argument is totally dependent on the idea that the 1970’s weren’t actually all about maintaining wage levels in the face of ‘price led’ inflation and succeeding until Callaghan and then Thatcher stopped the party.Or that the current inflation figures are believable which they aren’t.While I wouldn’t call fuel costs of more than £ 1 per ‘litre’ ‘cheap’ compared to well under £1 per ‘gallon’.Nor road fuel taxation which adds around 60% to the pump price as opposed around 50% by 1970’s standards.The fact is like most of the rest of UK industry the road transport industry is crippled by a runaway costs v revenues problem.The revenues side of that equation certainly won’t be fixed by a wage regime in which incomes are running well behind ‘real’ terms inflation.Or the costs side by a tax regime which is deliberately set up to artificially reduce the competitiveness of the road transport industry.
