The Scrap

I have progressed to the roster officially known as “Holiday Relief” but generally called the “Scrap”. I progressed to here from the “Nursery” (which I described on Nov 4th).

Being on the Scrap means I will be assigned the duties of other drivers who are on holidays, sick leave, etc. I will not know what hours I will be working “tomorrow” until about 3pm “today”.

All new drivers start here. There are currently 28 drivers on the Scrap. I am number 28. I will progress up the rank as the drivers above me are assigned permanent rosters and as new drivers join below me. There are currently 6 or 7 drivers in the training process. I have been told to expect to be on the Scrap about 6 months.
