Morning everyone.
I'll try to keep this as concise as possible.
I currently work for the Police, as an officer. I've been offered a job as a Driver.
I wanted to get an understanding of the Driver role; the bits nobody talks about (or seemingly don't - I did search!)
In the Police, I see people everyday. My colleagues, members of the public, external and internal departments. I work in a busy station. There are numerous social events, not least there's always one or two colleagues willing to grab a pint after work. We look after one-another.
Why am I telling you this? Because I want to know how it compares to being a Driver, for a TOC.
Is it a lonely role?
Does it feel isolating, being in the Cab all day?
How social is it?
Is there a good team comradery?
Is the work itself 'boring', for want of a better word?
I'd appreciate any and all thoughts and feelings, including your take on questions I've maybe not asked.
As always, thanks.
J
