I dont have any details as to how long each of the jobs will take me or when I'll get a break... I dont even think its legal given we're meant to have 11hrs rest between shifts You should move to Canada...Canada is recruiting foreigners to join the army...

Didn't take me too long to figure out that 50 hrs./week was optimum. Otherwise I was wasting my time working mostly just for Uncle Sam....& he's got more than enough of my earnings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a bitumen sprayer so it's classed as mobile plant according to everyone as work, its the reason we're not on tacho regs, and also apparently its not regulated by cpc as none of the other drivers have an up to date cpc, I must say I am dubious about it all and would think it should be regulated like a standard hgv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realise you had packed in proper driving, probably a wise choice given your track record though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
