Your knowledge of basic vehicle maintenance mechanical knowledge (in order tobe able to relay faults on defect forms) and transport legislation will be key, for example, Driver Hours, working time directive, and the Highway Code for a smooth and safe day.
Your route for the day will then be loaded into your onboard computer andyoureoff!

You will work a defined 4 on 2 off rota pattern including weekends. Thats 43 hours a week, although a typical week can sometimes be less than that. All of which will hopefully help you to plan your life around work more easily.
