One of our drivers used to do a regular run, torquay, exeter, honiton, dorchester & yeovil. Hes been on this run for almost 8 yrs & was taking about 10 1/2 hrs to do it but sometimes abit longer. Anyway the round was changed slightly because dorchester depot closed & weymouth was added meaning the round was slightly longer. To cut along story short the driver was taken off the round & i was put on it, The driver was not happy & is still protesting months later. I find this round so much better then my old round & i can do it easily in 9 1/2 hrs sometimes less. The driver who used to do it has said to me i must be speeding etc to do it in that time & i should slow down but this is not the case. I just like to get on with the job & im not gonna change the way i work because he says so. I have been told by the staff at the different drops that he used to hang it out longer to get overtime but i have a life outside this job that i love so i like to get it done & get home. I think the driver in question has had it easy & didnt want the bosses finding out just how long this round really takes.
Now i know some of you will probably think im stupid & its people like me who make this job harder for others by getting it done quicker but i dont care. I am paid for 48hrs a week & anything over that is paid at time & a half but theres more to life then money.
Somebody else that thinks like me

So be it i’d rather be sat at home than in a tin can for longer than i have to
So you 're not the bosses ‘golden boy’ 
If not please answer my question, how would you feel when the next speedy guy comes along and knocks 45 mins off the run you have already cut to the bone
And you are given a run that takes away the extra 5 hrs home/life time you have become used to 
because you carved a run up for your own ends

And me. Thing is when I do get held up i don’t get questioned as severely as those who do drag the job out unreasonably every day. That said I am on a salary, just work steadily, don’t work rest days as I do value my time at home more than my return for being at work.

I will do whatever im told to do simples. My last run was 8 drops & i was on that for 2 1/2 yrs. Weston super mare, bridgewater, fishponds bristol, st philips bristol, newport, cwmbran, pontypridd & merthyre tydfill. That used to take me 10 1/2 hrs min to do & that was getting on with it & not parking up for ages. So in answer to ur question i wouldnt give a [zb] im a driver & i do what im told to do.
& for all you drivers who call me selfish atleast im not commiting fraud taking money im not intitled to just for sitting on my arse in a layby somewhere. Im sure your bosses would be frilled to know they are paying their drivers to take the ■■■■. Thats just lazy but then again thats probably why most of you became drivers so u could be paid for sitting on ur lazy arse

Uh oh now you’ll have started something
Scarab:
God if only!
Sick of chasing my backside all day no matter where I work. Too many runs/drops and too little time. Can’t remember the last time I didn’t resent having to take my 45 because it’s 45 mins I don’t have.
Scarab, you’re so right… I can sit on my 45 sometimes wishing I could just get on as I haven’t got time to take it!!
davepenn54:
Can’t understand why you feel the need to slag me off in other threads
As i’ve said EXPERIENCE ‘you know it makes sense’
Regards
Dave Penn;
The only experience you have is how to sleep in a tin box so if i need help with that i know who to come too dont i??
