Rubbish to work for

If the face fits it’s a good job but if your outspoken and not one for creeping round management then don’t bother. Drivers get loads of abuse with no help off anyone. No sign of inspectors on buses. Always take on drivers because so many leave.

Travelling time rota shifts

Here is the catch... Joining you have to quit your job because taking the driver training, if you fail the test you get 2 attempts, (official dvla test) you are left without a job... so no pressure Plus the 2 year bonding agreement this is were the alarm bells should be ringing because that's a long time to have a agreement if you don't like the job, why so long? Rubbish duties they will slowly make there investments back from you, and 2 years of no pay rise. Promise of a rota, you have to wait for the other drivers to change or come off current rota's.. could be months up to a year. the contracts currently are far far worse then the older drivers so you work harder longer for less. (Example older contracts only work 5 hours on a Sunday for a full day's pay were as you will work 9 hours (average) plus travel to the change over point, but you're payed 7.38 hours. It works out roughly 1 full weekend off a month so you can't plan a home life, especially if you have kids or activities after work. and they give you set days to have your holiday and will make you stick to that if they have too... As for the driving I enjoyed the driving part it's pretty easy, the public are pretty polite crazy right!! I enjoyed the training and the trainers. But far too many other things going on such as scheduling, and favourism, and why you need to join the union to save yourself from any unnecessary telling offs... all in all the new drivers don't stay once the penny drops, if your face fits it fits I guess and it will be the same old faces in the depo, because they have the good contracts... and get payed a lot more then you for doing the exact same job, it's not about being resentful or jealous it's about knowing the knowledge of how the company works, use the experience if your interested in driving a large vehicle I would suggest getting a C license instead.
