Hi,
I wonder if any Drivers would be good enough to give their thoughts and ideas on something for me please?
I am considering applying for the position of Mainline Driver and the only concern that I have if about the shift work.
I have no issue with the loss of social life or family time, my issue is with whether or not my body could cope with the shift pattern and still stay alert enough to do the job safely, I worry that it would be possible to become fatigued to such a level that concentration was suffering.
It would be awful to be succesful and come into the profession only to lose the job again due to a SPAD or similar.
Do any Drivers suffer with this problem to any extent and if so what measures do you take to combat this and are they successful?
Any opinions would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks
