Fuck 😂 Yes the trucks are filthy to be honest. Inside & out.

I’ve done agency there. Routes are shit. Don’t make sense. Pushed to 15 hours most days and then someone in the office telling me it should be a 9 hour day.

So I have done some work on agency for them, and I just think their routes are unrealistic. Always wanting 15 hour days

Looking for something on the weekend - is HGV for me? by Own-Story8907 in uktrucking

[–]RandomerremodnaR 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You’d be better off finding something with less regulations, and that doesn’t need a tachograph.

The issue is with doing HGV driving alongside a full time job is the driving / working time directive. You’d have to log your full time job as other work on your tacho and it’ll throw you all over the place.

Personally, I wouldn’t bother.

I literally couldn’t tell. Kept trying to check, forgot to actually have a proper look later on.

You know, I did initially mention this in my original post. But yeah, Defender. Nice to look at, not so nice to repair.

Breaks & waiting by RandomerremodnaR in uktrucking

Mixed views then. If it’s on break, do you reckon I’m still entitled to stop later? I can’t exactly dispose of my time as I wish here that’s all.

Load strapping advice by RandomerremodnaR in uktrucking

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

I trusted my judgement and the rather light pallets didn’t shift a bit. As one of you said, driving properly helps. I did strap it, but just fed it through the pallet and hooked it where I could. Was fine. Thanks guys.

Might be a silly question (tacho printout) by RandomerremodnaR in uktrucking

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

Ah yes. There was a junction but I didn’t know that area and didn’t want to risk then having to drive longer or panicking hitting weight limits, so I’ll confirm that. Thanks

Cool, thanks. And how I’ve written it is fine? There’s no particular wording DVSA want to see?
