Hello All

Just a quick hello, remember looking on here before I passed my test.
When I passed thought I would have a year driving to clear my head.
Ten years on I am still hard at it. Time fly’s when your having fun :smiling_face:

Hiya mate. Welcome to Trucknet, if you are STILL having fun after 10 yrs of driving you aint doing so bad. :smiley:
What kind of work are you doing?

Been driving for 25 years , still loving it. Back to living in the penthouse on wheels. Getting paid to travel around the country, waking up to a different view every morning, no ■■■■■ neighbours to worry about… what’s not to like? People pay good money to do that in a caravan :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

(Edit. I’ll forgive you the fly’s / flies faux pas )

You have unwittingly discovered the font of all knowledge. Use it wisely/sparingly. It is very powerful.

Night trunking out of Sunny Scunny after 7 years delivering to corner shops on housing estates and city centers, trunking is like a dream come true :smiling_face:much NISA than days, ya get me.

blimey Well done for sticking that one out for 7 years, Seems to me most people only do multi drops for 2 years max after passing before getting after something better :laughing:

I Know was a tough old job and the tight drops made a man of you. There is about 70 drivers on days and about 20 ■■■■■■■■ 10years plus guys.
Dragging 500kg-1000kg pallets over rough tarmac and up slopes with the customer giving little or no help does not make for a pleasant day.
It was the 4 day week and 32k that made it bearable plus the 20 long termers, good blokes. Seen many come and go lasting less than a week most.
They now have electric pallet trucks so its a little easier on them. the poor buggers are being dragged in at 1-2 in the morning as day drivers but they wont stand up to the company. After being brutalised with that day work I have become a bit militant on my start times Nights means Nights not 2pm in the afternoon.
I do a bit of moaning myself but in general pleased with pay and conditions the Desk are OK to treat as you like to get tret I say.
Gona do my Int. and Nat. CPC this year and see how I feel about it all. Only went driving after selling my business to clear my head.
There is def. harder ways to earn a crust.
