Truck driver shortage - true or false?

[Berg]

Well thank you gents for an amusing read

I wonder if the OP still has plans on furthering his entry into the realm of trucking when the subject of drug testing evokes such misguided passion on both sides of the fence?

Is drug testing fair compared to testing for alcohol? Of course not, but the transport operator doesn't make the rules, they're just expected to comply. Bit like arguing with a Police officer kerbside why 120 km/h isn't really speeding because the limit should be higher

I had a nice ride today, shame some of you spent a lot of time pissing in the wind

Been a funny read for sure. You looking after MY truck lol????

It's an interesting topic alright. But I would have thought Grubbers' C/O should have intervened much sooner and politely asked him to Sierra Tango Foxtrot Uniform...

And yes sir I've been looking after YOUR truck only another 3 weeks to go until D-day

Well, about ten pages of bullshit. Fact is drug testing is working its way into the industry, don't like it then fuck off and work for maccas or Caltex. What will these whingers think when E log book or similar is common throughout the industry... I have to blow in the breatho every morning and conduct random drugs tests, it all comes with the job no one is forcing me to stay.

OP should head to TNL in Hornby as they must have one of the largest fleet in Chch.

End of the day if someone is looking at getting behind the wheel they should be encouraged as there is a shortage of decent drivers who actually want to do the job. You know the industry is fucked when they're dragging cunts off the dole and putting them behind the wheel. That is going to go down real well. Actually you only need to look at the clowns hauling containers around Auckland to see how fucked the game is.

Some of us are a little more intelligent than your average transport worker and as such the career options are a little wider. It must really suck to be a thick cunt.

Ah right, no point in you being on your high horse and not saying what notable job you have...

The smart ones don't have a woe is me attitude to drug and alcohol testing and just get on with the job. The vocal minority always like to stir shit when they don't get their way...

And the smarter ones have come across to Oz to earn well into the six figure bracket... Where they are even harder on their drug and alcohol policies.

No I think you explained your predicament quite thoroughly in the last few days thank you. I'm just curious though, how bad do your headaches get now that you've been diagnosed with advanced Richard Cranium syndrome?

And the even smarter ones, form an opinion based not on their personal experience nor on the official govt line.

You've got to fucking worry when the smartest ones in your example are migrating into the prison colony
