I just think most workers moan about thier money but are to fecking lazy to do anything about it. I heard some nurse whinning on the radio about how wrong it is that the truck drivers are on strike when they earn twice as much as she does. Get off your ar5e nursey and strike if you dont like it ! Moaning to me about it aint going to get you a pay rise or better conditions !
I agree. Its about society saying we prefer nurses to footballers, for example.
I used to be a lorry driver years ago. It’s a hard job with long hours. However tanker drivers are the elite among drivers and are better paid than most and get better conditons. Driving lorries can be enjoyable but it’s also very stressful.
Too often transport bosses see their drivers simply as an accessory needed in order to make their vehicles move. Most drivers get paid less than the amount of tax taken on the fuel used to run their vehicle. That HAS to be wrong.
Also, customers tend to always want things delivered yesterday while bosses want you to do a week’s work in a day but the driver is the fall guy. If he’s caught speeding or fiddling his tacho discs he can’t plead ‘but the boss told me’ or ‘the customer said if I don’t get there by 3 pm the place will be shut till tomorrow’!
I’m not saying this goes on in the fuel delivery sector – I imagine that’s very tightly controlled and monitored – but lower down the pecking order I reckon there’s still a lot of driver abuse.
