Waking up in a morning with the possibility of no bathroom facilities because you had park up due to running out of driving hours. Things didn’t always go to plan. Like I say, long hours, unsociable, weekend work always thrown in. I’m amazed how some drivers have stuck it for all the years they have. Average pay to boot, I’m not surprised a lot have called it a day.
