Its health and safety issues, pity the rest of the industry couldnt come out in support and and turn it into a fuel protest as well.If only we could use the same blockade tactics the Kermits use.Every government will not be happy until the British Haulage Industry is dead.
Someone claimed that tanker drivers are on £55 grand a year now while that is a big salary compared to mine they must surely earn it because of the liquids and gas they carry about[/quote]
They are well paid but in haulage its a 24/7 52 weeks of the year job.Saturdays and Sundays are the norm as are nights.Ive missed out on so much just by being a trucker its become a crap proffesion and im only still in it because I cant get a job elsewhere and earn a living wage.
