….I have had it, I am going to enforce the same rules for those I collect from tomorrow, for those I deliver to…
In that I am not going to be accepting any paperwork for any collection and if my first drop does not accept my paperwork tomorrow, I am getting in the bunk for as long as it takes…I am fed up with one rule for drivers and yard staff and another for office wallahs………I am coming for you tomorrow, the field is being made level.
Exactly same her, I’m not having it either ,ZB joke
Have noticed some strange goings on with paperwork lately.
Im.no expert but I don’t thing you can catch anything off a bit of paper.
I always use my own pen though as never know where there own has been
Lot of collections we do now they load pallets on. Then say all paperwork on last pallet don’t sign anything just take it.
And lot of deliveres won’t sign just give there name sign it myself
Don`t know what people deliver and collect if they are NON ESSENTIALS I ask the question of anybody why are you working

If had a choice id be at home.
I’d say what we do half could be essential half isnt.
But as long as there’s work and money to be made places will stay open.
Sad fact of life money comes 1st .
to business.
All businesses not just haulage if they can stay open or find a loophole and make money they will
For goodness sake, there’s thousands of daily truck movements that are essential, and hundreds of thousands of movements from the general public, including truck drivers going to and from work, to feed and service the nation, including all the supplies and parts those in essential work need to keep going.
It might be fashionable to think we can stop the country and freeze time (on the say so of people who have been wrong before) and anyone who carries on is only interested in profit, it’s even easier to pontificate if you happen, like many here, to be involved in so called essential work/supplies meaning your income and job are as safe as anyone’s could be in such times.
For many people, small/medium business owners their employees and the self employed who don’t qualify or want to risk the furlough gamble, the future is looking increasingly bleak the longer this goes on, hundreds of thousands will not have jobs to return to once this is over, thrown deep into debt they may never recover from, those who spent their lives in some cases building up a business watching it vanish before their very eyes, those who were prudent reliable workers watching their savings dwindle and the job they workled loyally at vanish, their future plans scrapped.
For what its worth i’m one of the fortunate ones, the company and my job are as secure as anything out there and no shutdown even remotely thinkable, but i ain’t feeling smug i feel for the hundreds of thousands of others who arn’t in such a sector, when this ends the turntable won’t restart at the same speed it stopped, there will be massive job losses because few will have any money to spend and those who have will be waiting to see how the chancellor intends to take back the £billions borrowed and dished out (though we have a fair idea where its coming from), anyone who’s managed to keep ticking over as safely as they can in order to stay in business, protecting the interests of their employees too, i have nothing but admiration for.

And maybe stay in business so their staff still have jobs when all this is sorted?
