Is it just me? Or does it seem like drivers get the short end of the stick?

Pressure Pressure Pressure

But as soon as someone has an accident, they blame you even more, take you off driving or put you on conduct . Yes, they "never" tell you to hurry around because that causes accidents but they'll berate you for being to slow or not taking enough, which then puts pressures on you more. :arrrghhh

Eegits.

Vehicle checks, Refuelling, Reporting Defects, Delivering All Large Parcels, Taking everything back to the office when your partner pouches off, Risk to your personal car insurance, and my personal favourite is when you get back to the office and there's been a letter missed on the frame.

As for sitting in the canteen, I'm PT so I've never had a break on duty.

But that's the job we signed up for I guess.
