First day was great, met lots of new people and had good chats with them, the earnings were good then as well. It's the following years of 'been busy mate' + 'what time you on till' grinding down from smelly, rude, drunk, disrespectful dossers and nutters that's sapped my will to live. Which I can put up with if earnings weren't decreasing and costs increasing

Such was the firms desperation for drivers, I was given a job after nothing more than a 5 minute phone conversation, and was duly told to turn up one evening. A brief explanation of how to use the datahead and off I went. Unfortunately, whilst I thought I had a good knowledge of the area, it turned out every other job I struggled to locate. Even some of the pubs I didnt know. It was stressful, and I was laughed/shouted at down the radio a few times, but It mustn't have been too bad as here I am some years later still doing it! Luckily my first shift was a tuesday night, which gave me a few days to get used to everything before all hell broke lose on the saturday. Drove for the firm for a year on a "half bag" arrangment before putting my own car on. Unfortunately, Now it's hit and miss whether a saturday will be any good, let alone the rest of the week. |

first day was great...went the wrong way a few times but it was nice to have a different job and chat to people,i loved the banter and just driving around compared to a "proper job", i did put in stupid shifts that first week but got fed a bit but earned lots....even had a parcel job from eccleshall to aberdeen,never had a job that far since
