Mrs asked what time will i be home. Usual time most days but on friday i was running late and the mrs says. Leave the truck there. Your boss will sort it out. So i explained blah blah etc etc.
Another…
Mrs: can you book half a day on blah blah date.
Me: whats the point. may as well book the full day. If something goes wrong i might be late.
Mrs: but you only need half. Speak to your boss. Put him straight
Me: it dont always work like that… blah blah etc etc
The best one. Mrs: can you nip home on your lunch
Me: Nope
Mrs: Why
Me: nowhere near home Blah Blah yadda yadda.
We both knew what we signed up for. Been doing it long enough but the same old daft questions keep coming up 
Its not often she asks these questions but when she does god help me. Is it just mine. love her to bits though
Ahh, the benefits of no stress and a hand shandy!
To be fair I don’t think it’s just women that don’t get it, I think anyone that doesn’t do the job doesn’t get it.
Some who do it, still dont get it ! Employer I know had someone ask for a job. Said he was an experienced class1 and wanted to try out going to Italy. Oh, but he was in a darts team so had to be in pub every Thursday evening. Didnt get the job.

Pretty spot on that mate, I`ve got a driver who constantly complains to me about “their” drivers getting all the cream work… 
Everyday for the last two years, I`ve had to explain that we are subbies, we do what we are given, crap or cream 
It just doesn’t sink in, and he ain`t some new kid on the block either 
After years of being happily worried my better half has got quite used to me not being able to arrive when she requires me to.
I usually arrive too early or too late, both can be dissapointing, we once arrived at the same time but that was a fluke.
These days ive just got used to arriving when shes asleep.
When me and my good lady first got together used to say “should be home about 4” would ring her to say will be late stuck in traffic,
Used to get "can’t you drive round it?"lol but she’s used to it now so it’s see you when your back,but always text her when I’m back in the yard so when I get home there’s always a cuppa waiting,she’s good like that 
.
Our traffic office don’t get it either
Not all women are like that, I’ve only been doing the job 5 months and my Mrs gets it 100%!

I’ve only ever had one employee and he lasted eight days. I took him on on the clear understanding that it was four-on four-off job, and I explained exactly how it would work, but the first time it was his turn to do a weekend he decided to blow it out because he didn’t want to miss the Monaco Grand Prix on the television and I ended up having to take a 24 hour break in a layby outside Tesco at Goole. To this day, he is outraged that I sacked him.

The fact you keep bringing it up shows you’re not too chuffed about it either!

I wasn’t bothered about it either way, I just went back to running the truck as I had been, and still am. The anecdote did seem relevant to the comment about the chap who wanted to do Italy trips but had to be in his local every Thursday evening to play darts. Sure, there are some bad employers out there, but equally there are drivers out there going for jobs who just haven’t got a clue.

I can’t argue with that Harry, and you’re a better man than me…

We had this at one of my jobs,you were set on as a “tramper” could be away all week or some weeks just one or two nights it was how the job fell.
Lads would start and on there first shift would refuse a night out as they were not told that they were going to be out
All drivers had own unit kitted out so had no excuse.
Like my firm now we are day men but our units are all kitted out as if we were trampers because you never know in this game anything can happen and my Mrs is cool with it now,wasn’t so when I was away more often though .

Nope, especially when you change one of the words for something meaning roughly the same.
