Most of the long hours is purely down to poorly managed RDC’s. Government really needs to side with the logistics firms as all the RDC’s just take the ■■■■ now.
I did a 12.5 hour shift on Sunday. I spent 5 hours of that in a depot with a split load. 2 and half hours to have 5 pallets unloaded and didn’t even get paperwork for it! Was passed on to next driver. Self tipping I do not mind as a bit of exercise is always a good thing but that is pointless as you are sat there waiting for paperwork anyway.
