QUOTE Did my delivery
of course, having dropped OFF a load, the springs will rise a bit...................?
regarding the bus and bus drivers [having once been one for 25 years or so].....yep, it IS solely the driver's responsibility..in the end....however, what I did notice in those far off days was a distinct tendency for [bus] drivers to actually think that it was not THEIR responsibility to check, make sure, be up to speed with regulations, changes, etc which affected their jobs...and more importantly, their LICENCES....[some were even convinced it was the company's resonsibility to ensure THEIR licences were renewed!!!]
I knew the writing was on the wall for us hoary old grumpy grizzled bus drivers when I realised that bus companies weren't interested in driver skills any more.......but really wanted ''point-of-sale'' retail skills.
I enjoyed my old job....[ex-London Transport, ex-United Auto, ex-EYMS....and a few other ex-s in between]...but I enjoy my current job a lot more...and get paid for it!
