By flagging these issues up it means we can make an informed (to a certain degree) decision who we would like to work for, and nobody in the right mind would be putting up with T&C's like GSM.
Real shame these LoCo companies are just cheapening evrything they touch.
MOL being the worst offender
I'm afraid the LoCo operators have dragged the industry into the gutter, from which it will never recover.
Although it may be legal to deadhead back to base, it is still wrong. The crew still have to drive home.
So here's one for the Chief Execs:
Do you really want to share the same road as one of your crew, who has been on duty for the previous 19 or 20 hours?
......and why do you expect the public to do the same, when you know full well that fatigue is a major cause of road traffic accidents?
