    Can you do all that?
    Well that's the weekends covered, but what do you need to do when you turn up for work?
    Bored.

      I also have an ADR licence (HAZMAT) but jobs at refinerys are like rocking horse tulip.
      Why are jobs at refinerys so bad?

        Becuase they are the only section of truckers that ever bothered to use a union. Also its a man to boy type place. Hard to get into but in the past wages of £50k+ are not uncommon.

        Come down a lot now for new recruits but still after a while you get some dosh.
