Following week 3 nightshifts Mon 11-7 -tues-wed 7-7 thurs 10-4 then 7-10 fri 7pm- 2am Sat 12- arsed. This is ideal for me as I see my son and can easily survive on little sleep. Also allows my good lady to work part time and get a deserved break from my bairn. |

Westgate sunshine those hours are absolutely ridiculous and when your inevitably in an accident and probably kill some one you wont see your bairn for 7 years, ADVICE REMOVE THIS POST "survive on little sleep" Jasus your a professional driver theres strict regulations regarding COMPULSORY REST PERIODS SUGGEST YOU READ THEM BEFORE YOU KILL SOMEONE !! WORKING TIME REGULATIONS ! Your LA if they were aware of these hours and the fact that you published them SHOULD consider you "not fit and proper" Heed the advice |

count the hours. I have slept for 4 hours a day for the past 15 years. My shift pattern shows up in the post above. My beaks are taken during my time at graft. Just because I chose to be at work 7-7 it does not mean I dont have breaks. Unless of course. The company I hire the datahead off is the fortunate single ph office that is busy all through the night. I thought you were a clever bloke. Cmon. Have a think about it. |

Don't take any notice of him mate, he's a waste of rations, and talks out of his bullet hole, just block him so you can't see his drivel. There's a good youtube video out there showing him getting owned by the owner of Addison Lee London's biggest minicab company, he'd been bumping his gums about Addison Lee, when confronted in a pub by the owner he did a runner

too many bleeding hours. its a blight of our trade in certain parts of the country. Always makes me wonder when you listen to fellow drivers bragging about having done a 20 hour shift or more. I certainly wouldn't like to be getting In a car with them near the end of that. I have to admit to having done some long days and nights to get home after a long job but i'm more than happy to park up in a services and grab an hours kip then carry on. all it will take though is a well publicized case of a driver killing someone after working a silly shift and the whole trade will be hammered with some sort of restriction/recording of hours. |
