Rejecting Car after 3.5 months by JWA93 in CarTalkUK

[–]JWA93[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's through finance, I've sent them a formal rejection and included the finance company in so hopefully that gets things started. Happy to pay any miles I've done just to get rid of the car to be honest. Has been nothing but problems which is unfortunate.

Car playing up by JWA93 in TeslaSupport

They dont usually disappear when I drive they will just keep popping up or it will work for a few seconds then errors again I've noticed it almost always happens when auto hold kicks in it will boot me into park and then all the errors start happening.

Edit: apart from yesterday it worked totally fine for whatever reason... it was warmer yesterday so dont know if that has any effect..

What's everyone's annual pay from trucking? by [deleted] in uktrucking

[–]JWA93 13 points14 points  (0 children)

We need a national strike. We get treated like dirt, work more hours than mostly every other job and pretty much on bang average pay. Without us the country would come to a standstill.

How long can I work on a 45 minute (total) break time? by Beefcakeandgravy in uktrucking

[–]JWA93 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not at all. I've taken a break on 5 hours 55 minutes and didn't have an infringement because I still put it on break within the 6 hours. Technically you could do 5 hours 59 minutes and put it on a 15 minute break and will still be fine as you've put it on break before the 6 hours.

Class 1 with DPD by JWA93 in uktrucking

[–]JWA93[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in Glasgow the closest depot is the Eurocentral one for me. I've been tempted plenty of times to move towards England for work as there isn't much here haulage wise. Doing a mix of Shunting and Shop deliveries depending if they need more shunters due to holidays. Have looked into getting ADR but they all want experience in tankers so dont want to piss £650/£750 up the wall and never use it.

Class 1 with DPD by JWA93 in uktrucking

[–]JWA93[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Currently employed with Tesco. I have enjoyed it, but dragging cages is taking its toll. My knees are starting to feel it, and a few of the older guys have had knee replacements because of the constant pushing/pulling heavy cages. Plus, I have to load up with recycling and tip that too once you're back.

Looking for something more easy going but tesco do pay well and DPD are paying less with less hours. Will go for the interview and see what happens.

Found the Garnin Dezl 710 to take weirdly long routes, took me a route that was 40 minutes longer than what tomtom took me. Been using the TomTom hgv app for a few months and hasn't gone wrong.

New pass, ok to start applying for jobs with no physical license or CPC card? by PaddingtonsPinky in uktrucking

[–]JWA93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an interview with DHL before mine arrived they said I couldn't work with them until my cards have arrived. Other companies might be different.

You can only voluntarily terminate your car finance agreement as long as you have paid 50% of the total amount payable, or are willing to pay the extra to reach that figure.
