[QUOTE="DrWazzock, post: 7837739, member: 2119"] As I’ve said, if loading is a pre agreed part of a complete package then it’s OK though I’d still question the wisdom of expecting each HGV driver in a haulage group to load his own lorry at the beet heap. Surely the loading time is eating into the number of loads the driver can move before he’s used his hours up. Is using your hours up on a loader really sensible when you are supposed to be maximising use of the lorry. I’d have thought it much more sensible all round to have a dedicated loader operator from the point of view of commercial viability and HSE but what do I know? If a replacement driver turns up who doesn’t have a loader ticket what happens? Generally expecting drivers to load their own lorries is cutting one corner too many in my view. Never used to happen. Would have been considered discourteous at the very least. [/QUOTE]
