You buggers ain’t paid enough.
I left my job 4on4off tankers as the knob sold the company then told us our location was shutting down, he knew when he took me on…
Anyway, I saw a class 2 job advertised 10 minutes from my house, decent hours (or so it seemed) and good money.
it was delivering to farms, fair enough but I was not ready for the hundreds of bags handballing and using dangerous faulty farm equipment to unload myself ( ) and the amount of drops,added to that smallholdings that do not show on any map, maxed out all the time.
nievley I thought it would be a cushy number, sod that you guys work your knackers off.
So a week on Monday I’m back on tankers doing 4on4off to slightly bigger farms.
Full respect to any multi drop drivers… I tried and failed

I did two days a fair few years ago through an agency, I couldn’t hack it.
I did it for the first couple of years of driving.
In retrospect it was bloody awful but it was in the period where drivers jobs were quite hard to get with zero experience(or at least harder than now).
I’ll hold my hands up - you couldn’t pay me enough to do it now and fair play to anyone who does.
It did teach me one thing quite quickly, the ability to say “no” and not be pushed around by the office.
Couldnt agree more. Did 6 weeks for Brakes, spent most of that time working through my ‘Brakes’ and waking up in the night with cramps and a bad back!! Horrible job, but respect to the poor sods who work there for years!

Shut the F@@K up how their staff don’t do mad with that all day ?
If you managed 12 months with P&H or Brakes then you’ve got more staying-power than some on here give you credit for Beav
Ssshhh, don’t tell 'em Pike.
That’s the tnet csi conspiracy theorists argument settled then
I made the mistake of not asking how many drops would be expected of me, also 52 years old ain’t the time to give it a go
fingers crossed this one works out.
LAsted 6 weeks on dhl Nisa stoke, trying to maul frozen/chilled cages off a tail lift parked on a slope at 6am after a 3hr drive was the lowest point of my driving career.

I’m class one now. I’ll probably go back to dhl a time some point in future as the trunking work is sound by all accounts, the class 2 multi was the pits tho lol
Once you get your own way of working and know the stores it’s not that bad tbh,and they paid for my class one too,also you’ll struggle to find anywhere in stoke that pays as well £33.5k a year salary and your sleeping in your own bed every night and not having to work Sundays,also not every Saturday and 4 weeks out of 8 you’re only working 4 days a week
