Despite earning an average of ?45,000 a year (many far in excess of this) and having more holidays than Paris Hilton, fuel truck drivers explain that they want more money, more holidays, jobs for life and more days in cozy rural Carvery back rooms watching health and safety videos.


Militant Unite union pillock leader Len McCluskey explained 'It is about aggressive barely literate ex football hooligans holding you to ransom a simple measure, the creation of an industry-wide bargaining forum. It is about bringing fairness and stability back to an essential national industry.'

Maybe you should try driving a tanker lorry full of a highly dangerous substance and consider the effects of stress and the responsibility the drivers have as well as all of the health & safety considerations that go with the job before pontificating. Don't you like people earning more money than you?

lol Rosie.....


I always thought of truck drivers as being highly skilled....not everyone could manoeuvre an articulated lorry with such precision (especially when motorway tailgating) and long distance lorry drivers spend days away from their families.....like errr soldiers! (do they get ?45k a year?).


Tbh I have no idea is a lorry driver is worth 45k a year any more than a tube driver etc. I do know that the cost of living is rising faster than wages and housing inflation has been outstripping wages for almost two decades. So who can blame any worker for using whatever they can to get as much salary as they can. I think we'd all do it if we could.

Huge in absolutely 100% predictability shocker.


Govt.sells access to PM, PM lies about stamping out lobbying? - no - men who Huge would cross the road to avoid want more money. The bastards.


Anyway why worry? The army are ready to step in to do the jobs of anyone who dares to strike. That's what they are for isn't it?

If a bus takes a knock the human goods don't explode!!!!! The human cargo explode with stinky farts anyway regardless of crashes! It is a stressful and skilled job full of responsibility-tanker drivers, not farting.

"You're driving a coach full of flatulent CAMRA members who have overdosed on faggot and peas just outside Wolverhampton and a flask of norovirus is perched on the edge of the luggage rack in a precarious fashion. One jolt is all it will take and you're approaching a humpback bridge. What do you do hot-shot? What do you do!?"

Ha ha, I love this reinterpretation of truck drivers as selfless heroes running the gauntlet of death on a daily basis, single handedly holding the very fabric of our society together at inconceivable personal sacrifice.


:))


Truck drivers - the new Ubermensch.


Could we elevate them to some sort of religious status, maybe worship them once a week in an act of communal gratitude accompanied by much wialing and gnashing of teeth, crippled by our own inadequacies? Oh, that we could all attain such lofty heights.

Can we include kitchen designers ?


I worship at their (corian? surfaced) altar



NETTE:-S

Of all the jobs I can think of, I would struggle to think of truck drivers as "highly skilled"! Although admittedly there is a certain amount of training/knowledge necessary. ?45K sounds quite a lot to me, certainly not grounds for striking. If they don't want the job any more, I'm sure plenty of others would.


Saying that, I don't think the description of "aggressive barely literate ex football hooligans" is exactly helpful.

    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
