2 to 9 drops? I think you’ll find the the truth of it will be the figure 1 missing in front of those numbers.And you’re not wrong!
My only experience of class 2 multi-drop was indeed between 10-18 drops per day round the north London areas.
And then,

Hi guys, as I said in the title, I need input. I have a fairly well paid job as a shunter, I get 14 quid an hour and it’s the easiest job I have ever had, we spend at least 4 hours a night in the office watching YouTube, I get full pay if I have a day off or go home early (which I do at least once a week) and I do 8 hr shifts and not a minute more.It’s not the money that’s pulling me in, I’ve just got the itch to drive and it won’t seem to go away. I’m not worried about the pay drop, mortgage is paid off, as are most of my bills and I retire in 10 years time, so I want to do something that makes me happy in the meantime. I am so sick of seeing the yard, I’ve been in the same job for nigh on 3 years and I need a change.
It’s not like I don’t know the pitfalls of the job, I guess I just need reminding. The job I am thinking of taking is class two multi drop to start, between 2-9 drops, moving on to class one when the vacancy comes up. They have said 4-6 weeks. But all I can see is that I get out and see a change of scenery.
Please give me your opinions, multi drop, class two, driving in general. Anything helps.
If I was in your position, I’d stay in the job, buy myself a motorbike or a sporty car, and go looking at the scenery on my days off.

Jbaz - you are in a similar part of this majestic country to me. I no we have chatted about one job. It’s okay - was there again last night, after me vowing to not go back the money lured me in. Was fine - easy work really. 12 hours in - just under £250 in the bank for a single shift. Complained about the rental Mercedes I was given last night - and have been promised one of the new Scanias next friday - I turned heated seats on Mercedes by accident and thought I’d ■■■’d myself when it felt all warm! Last three shifts have been: London, Cardiff, Manchester so you do travel around - however imo at night you can’t see a lot so it doesn’t really matter.dont give it away all!
Another place are calling me directly to go back and work for them. They subcontract for Sainsburys - shifting bonded trailers full of booze between tamworth and northampton. Again super easy work - just trailer pick up and drops. Boring work, but so easy it’s not funny. Pay not quite so much - but it’s not nights and not only do you need not to touch the load you are not allowed. However I wouldn’t call it the ‘open road’ given you are going back and forward between two sites.
Ignore insanity of £9/hour talk - you know around our part of the world not even the 7.5t drivers work for that. If I were you don’t jack your job - it sounds great where you are. Have a go on one of those above, I can give you details for Sainsburys job if you like. Sunday is £18 (ltd)/hour to basically not think - and they also never call/harass you. In fact, I open up yard to drop unit/trailer off and then lock up and go home. That’s my sort of place to work rather than debriefs and monitoring.
Just quickly,before I go to the bus stop.
I´m out next week, agency, 7.5t, 11ph, Time and a half after 8; guaranteed 10 no matter what time i get all me drops done. Enfield, Londes
