€30 off your freight... without which my freight would have been well over €50 for ONE (9.5 hour) SHIFT. I'd say you can remember when we got a week's freight for €80 and could do as much work as we wanted for that!
Ah, the Good Auld days ! Sitting on a rank and belling in fer every job and trying to keep track of the base roster and paying about a Ton a week fer it, while half of the work you did was your own off the street/private.
Your downtime back in the Good Auld days would often be 50+% of your working day, granted app commission costs are exhorbitant but the downtime is nothing near 50%.
I find that between Legal PUC's, Tips and Bobo's it negates the commission, and at least your moving all the time, nothing more boring fer me than sitting on a rank.
