Reminds me of my dad. He drove a dust lorry around Brixton all of his working life. He used to love it when it snowed as he would get paid double bubble to drive a gritter lorry.
Definitely pays well
I can do around 2-3 car parks in around an hour and a half if in one area
Grit paid for
Wagon paid for
I just drive and spread
Also take a lad out who gets a payment per job also from the boss who jumps out flicking grit out a bucket on pathways that you can’t drive over to spread with truck

Snow forecast here for next week in the north west.....winters here early lads!

Buy your ice melt grit now while its cheap as I guarantee the supermarkets will raise the price if we get a cold snap!
I can get it £60 a tonne if you wanna come here😂
 
Should be, not everyone's sensible with money though. A few guys at my last job, around 12 years ago were skint living month to month on a 120k a year salary. At the other end of the scale I know a guy who makes min wage, manages a few weekends away abroad a year and has savings built up behind him. Takes his own lunch to work etc, no takeaways etc, doesn't waste money on things that aren't needed. Fair play to him, it shows it can be done even on a small income.

They'll have to learn the hard way then....anyone who is skint on a 120k a year salary needs a check up from the neck up!

What makes it worse is there only home for 6 months of the year, the other 6 months there offshore where all meals are provided. Was definitely an eye opener when I heard some of them talking
