I havnt been on the two in a van duties,but the staff on them have caved in and made them work enough days.Most of them are in early,take short cuts etc and by the end of the duty look like a couple of sweaty tramps with learning difficulties.mucker wrote:the question is does it work??

Re: CDV PUT ON HOLD
I don't drive and am looking forward to being partnered with a speed merchant - if he want's to start early to get a flyer, he will be very disappointed when he finds himself waiting for me so he can go home early - and if he doesn't work up to his time to help me finish - I'll report him. On the other hand - I might get a good guy who will cut off at the same time as me, because once the 3 oclock finish comes in there will be no more docket for the Rhino :)
We wish to serve - but we will not be servile
