More than 12 years in the role

I have never been happier than when I left this place. Should have left years ago but I am grateful for the experience that I gained.

The good things
Most people were great to work with.
The challenges
Ridiculous workloads and deadlines. Many long term people have left due to obvious burnout not being dealt with appropriately.

Linehaul Fuel Driver

Mt Gambier & Limestone Coast SA
1 to 2 years in the role

Scary, may have improved with some newer equipment, if maintenance needs to be done get it done in Truganina not in Mt Gambier

The good things
New Scania Trucks come if you wait long enough.
The challenges
Safety, due to "self-compliance"within NHVR, safety is gone out the window, apprentices and low experienced mechanics working on potentially flammable missile. The fleet of older trucks are all beyond their working life, and the trailers need full overhaul, we are talking FUEL here, not general haulage. very scary
