JBS Posted July 23, 2016 Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 Is nobody else on here self employed? What the hell is a day off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodp Posted July 23, 2016 Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 Is nobody else on here self employed? What the hell is a day off? yep, see posts above But these employees of local councils with 10 weeks holidays a year, 3 months guaranteed sick pay, air conditioned cabs, subsidised staff canteens, clothing allowances, staff car purchase schemes,assisted mortgages etc etc still think us bosses have it easy. You wait a while, one will be along soon denying it all and saying how hard they work for a pittance :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shotguneddy Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 1 day off in 17, and that's today to knackered to go shooting but still pop out later for a walkabout depending on weather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wb123 Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 My record is 74 consecutive days, i worked with a chap who was on 212 though. In a strange way after 21 or so i hit a euphoric tired yet happy state where i feel i no longer need rest and can continue my life more productively than before with minimal rest, then crash and burn a couple of weeks later.

I was only off sick once last year , it was for eight months , but in my defence it was a very nasty blister. A whole two weeks work !! Without a break ? That's not the local authority I remember, when we worked for them no-one had to do more than three hours non stop. Had at least an hours break every couple of hours. They must be slave drivers now, if I was you I'd get the union on the case. How can they expect a man to drive for more than a couple of hours and still be 100% ? OK, I know you rarely exceed walking pace, and you stop every 10 feet or so, but the risks involved must be tremendous No wonder you had that terrible blister, must have been gripping the steering wheel so tightly to control the truck at those sort of speeds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
