More and more I hear from lorry drivers that they are asked to load their own lorries using the farmers equipment as often there is nobody around. Some are rightly not very happy about it. I wouldn’t have thought this was acceptable in terms of putting the driver’s true working hours over the limit.
We always load lorries ourselves and would consider it very bad form to ask the driver to do it.
What happens elsewhere? Are things really so tight that farms can’t find their own staff to drive loaders nowadays?
