This time in everyone’s life and ( I’m not complaining) but going to have to work all weekend the way things are panning out
the chemicals we are shifting just now,ethyl alcohol for hand sanitizer,the list goes on and on,we are a family run business with 17 units and 60-70 trailers ,a secure base where we store tanks/ chemicals -whisky etc
the presures we are under just now is unreal but the majority of our drivers are grateful as we are earning full pay at this horrible time when others are not,
But the last few days I’ve experienced horrible situation when stopping at a garage to fuel up or get a coffee ,when going to use the convenience found it was locked and a notice stating due to the present time we are not letting these toilets get used
when I said I’ve just been driving for 7 hours the lad said And nought I can do
so the out come is I’ve printed off a letter from the Scottish government and all our drivers have a copy to produce to ANYsite they wish to relieve themselves that it is against the LAW to not let us use the toilets and wash our hands this is also includes the ROAD HAULIERS ASSOC which it explains symptoms etc
And there is also a letter of the exact same content from the English gov inc the rha
hope this might help other drivers still out there
hope all you guys are safe and well
sorry to rant on
ps on the other hand from these sites all nhs front line and hgv drivers get hot drinks foc which we are grateful for
