With all these threads about bridge strikes, it got me thinking.
What would you say when you make the phone call to the boss/tm?
Erm boss…I have a slight problem.

Wasnt my fault boss, it came out of nowhere
Well boss, I was going down this road, and well you’ll never believe what happened next, a bloody great bridge fell on the trailer,.
Boss can you send out a mechanic I have a lack of power and the brakes seem to be stuck on

Hi Boss… Just ringing to tell you I’m handing my notice in, apparently I’m not cut out for this LGV driving lark as I failed to acknowledge the very first letter of the acronym… ‘LARGE’!.. I’ll also ring DVLA in the morning and tell them to remove my entitlement on medical grounds, specifically being a complete and utter braindead [zb]wit…
That should cover it.
You know that long diversion we have to take with trailer 10, well we don’t need to worry anymore!

That Polish bloke on the M20 last year could genuinely say this after that chump hit a bridge going down the hard shoulder, bringing it down onto his trailer.
Well boss it was like this never been here before so just followed the sat nav

Ring ring, ring ring,
“Numpty driver haulage, can I help you”
“Hi numpty boss, it’s numpty driver hear, I’ve hit a bridge”
“Is there any damage to the bridge numpty driver”
" no numpty boss"
“Carry on numpty driver. Bye”

Have you got any blank P45 sheets boss?
I’ll fill one in when I get back then go on agency somewhere else that doesn’t know I’ve hit a bridge.
…So ‘job and Knock’ doesn’t mean that then??
Boss, do you have the phone number for that shelf stacking job at Asda? I want to find out of its true that it pays more than lorry driving.
Hi Boss, I can definitely say that they haven’t had bigger trailers down here, oh and trailer 24 is very streamline… bye
Remember when I asked you this morning if there were any low bridges on the route and you said you didn’t know? Well I’ve found out…
I heard you telling the TM last week you hated the double-decker trailer and wished you’d never bought it. Well guess what I’ve done for you
Have you ever heard the phrase "no such thing as bad publicity? Well…
I think the height indicator in the cab must be broken
I thought it would be ok. Trains dont run on a sunday
