I cover the whole of the UK and I used to have a job that required a lot of travel. 114,000 miles in 26 months is my personal best.
Don't take this the wrong way but how much work time did you sacrifice because you were banging up and down motorways? Unless you were a truck driver doing deliveries of course...
Sales so no work time sacrificed it was part and parcel. Thankfully I don’t think there are many jobs that require that kind of mileage now. I do a modest 20-25,000 miles a year now (a lot less this year with lockdown) which I think could change the way a lot of companies operate. I know a lot more will view working from home as a positive rather than a negative.
I’m out of that kind of territory now. When we lost my Mum who used to provide that essential wrap around child care. I had to make changes, plus it’s not healthy. My old HR department went mental when they found I had driven to Swansea and back in a day
I aim to please, happy to take one for the team etc Anyway my taxi review is as follows; Bloody good. Bang on time, perfectly reasonable chat, reasonably priced. Tricky time for taxi drivers at the moment I think (no nightclubs etc) so my advice is always drink too much to drive home so you help keep the taxi driving economy going, because one evening you’ll drink too much whether you like it or not and you’ll need them then...use them or lose them.
Thinking about it...why didn’t Risky Sunak add a ‘cab home to help out’ scheme? £10 off your taxi home would be far more likely to help out city centres than some ****ing nonsense about keeping Pret open, particularly when we don’t even have a Pret?
I’ve disliked working from home the few times I’ve tried it ,it was good for a couple of days but novelty worn off . mainly because I have a small house so don’t really have a desk so end up using kitchen top or sat on my bed like a teenager , plus I get distracted by my little one and ignore work calls when it gets to a good bit in Peppa Pig , so then end up working later catching up
