dozy:
No let up in my agency work , I’m doing 6 days this week tramping( not done a o/t shift for apx 15 yrs & swore I never would again / same as tramping , on my way to a c& carry in Glasgow for 14.00 Friday , hospital appointments & jury service have put pay to my Xmas / jan / feb plans , and i m loosing 3 k + on a Xmas week hol & 2 weeks jury service + hospital appointments so I’m going for it , had enough now to be honest , hope snow stays away & the promise of a short sat materialises or I could be doing a last driver out there on a sat rob roy thread rant
There’s work out there , loads , I’ve even been offered Boxing Day , New Year’s Day , but that is a step to far for me , though the rates on offer are eye watering .
1 am and I should be asleep but [zb] I can’t get used to this bloody rocking / noise in this lay-by , and never been so cold in my life , bloody night heater blows bloody cold

So that’s 58 hrs in 4 days , week before Xmas , yes your right it’s all ■■■■■■■■ , there no work on agency ha ha
Be interesting to see what next week brings, normally we are flooded with hauliers from beginning of Nov pulling our trailers and agency everywhere. Rest day working and second runs all over the shop. This year, holidays being made available, 3 or 4 agency few days a week to keep them sweet, not a haulier in sight and OT fallen off the cliff. Had 10 spares the other day on the plan, absolutely unheard of in December.
Suits me though, potter around for my 1 run, hour or so kip before I go home, 9hrs is more than enough these days. Back of house on the Ambient side is stacked, seems the only thing up is frozen.

Isn’t that 70 hrs in 5 days ? More proof it’s ■■■■■■■■ , there’s no agency work
I was hopefully doing a short day tomorrow , but knowing how it’s ■■■■■■■ you off I’m going to do 13 hrs , 83 hrs, & work Boxing Day & New Year’s Day
I’ll post the printouts up just to spoil your Xmas & new year
How’s the setee ha ha ha ha
What’s he ■■■■■■■ doing now , sleeping in a bloody lorry on a Friday night , he’s agency , there’s no work he should be at home on the settee feeling sorry for himself like the rest of us.
I’ve worked bloody hard this week , kept the flag flying for agency drivers whilst the vast majority are sat on there fat asses ( I only weigh 11 st ) at home
So I’ve treated myself knowing the bank will be over flowing with money next Thursday , maybe shouldn’t being diabetic , but I deserve it
No wonder you end up in hospital
Still better than a can of lilt & a moldy orange
I find it hard to believe but English breakfast are meant to be ok for diabetics , and it the first one in about 3 yrs , normally a pack up , so why not , though toast was burnt one side
I’ll be having a tea / porridge on sat ( yes Saturday ) , though no doubt it will be claimed it’s all ■■■■■■■■ , a photoshopped/ imaginary porridge & tea
Good morning , dozy reporting in on a Saturday morning from his living room setee, we’ll what another nightmare not sleeping , woke up alnight by rain / sleet on cab roof , idea of 13 hrs lasted all of 2 secs , I want to go
Home , tearass mode , I’ll be giving the Irish lads a run for there money on the 66
Now off to do my 1/2 hr checks that this week have been a run round trailer , lights work , go
the maoster:
Good old Chris. He’s not the Messiah, he’s just a naughty boy.
Just the man I needed , your a b/ h man moaster , what’s the going rate for Boxing Day these days ( can’t remember last time I ever did one , I’ve normally a life !! ) , been offered x2 ( £42 ph ) , is that ok , don’t want to undercut you regular b/h lads
‘‘Robroy’s Satutday night rant’’ eh doze? ok…here.s a Sat morning ‘‘rant’’ for ya mate.
For somebody who tells us he ‘doesn’t really need to work’ and ‘only works for pocket money’ he seems to be ramming in the hours…
This must be the only job where guys actually BOAST about being ran ragged and working 70 + hours…and who are totally oblivious to how stupid that looks.
On other threads he constantly tells us all about his work/stress related illnesses the job has instilled on him,he’ll have for rest of his life…just me or what.?
I’m similar age and I’m just fine thanks mate.
And dozy’s Cherry on top…it’s took him 40 years and after numerous people on here telling him in the past, to realise parking in lay bys with a pot noodle is a mugs game…like it’s some sort of revelation. …you couldn’t make it up.
Oh my God I’m so jealous :roll Aye right…but in the meantime I’ll.stick to my 45 to 50, and do my (dozy’s imaginary ) ‘‘Sat night rant’’ .
Finish today btw for over 2 weeks so no rant this Saturday doze .

Your missing the point rob , apparently there’s no agency work , I’m just dispelling that myth ,( though it’s all imaginary , photoshopped, lies apparently )
Anyway have a good Xmas , I’ve done like you grabbed a coffee as the services , though I’ve paid for mine !!!

Be interesting to see what next week brings, normally we are flooded with hauliers from beginning of Nov pulling our trailers and agency everywhere. Rest day working and second runs all over the shop. This year, holidays being made available, 3 or 4 agency few days a week to keep them sweet, not a haulier in sight and OT fallen off the cliff. Had 10 spares the other day on the plan, absolutely unheard of in December.
Suits me though, potter around for my 1 run, hour or so kip before I go home, 9hrs is more than enough these days. Back of house on the Ambient side is stacked, seems the only thing up is frozen.
Yeah I’m intrigued too, as we’re specifically frozen and nothing else. No agency, no subbies at all but still overtime if wanted (not by me), also no difference in shifts really. A bit longer if anything as the wait tines at DCs for a trailer turnaround is that bit longer - getting fresh in and out again is higher priority than tipping a decker full of frozen to sit in a freezer etc.
But store wise our official “peak period” has been and gone. Most back freezers in stores are rammed and sometimes we bring them back as there’s no room to put the latest delivery away. You know, app stuff a bit of communication could resolve lol
