Just before my retirement in 2013, during a " healthy exchange of views " with my manager, I was told that, they { the company, a major aggregates supplier } didnt want drivers to do what they had always done, being resourceful & getting the job done evidently is frowned upon. Been in transport all my life, time served fitter, not even allowed to do minor things, even though I was more skilled & experienced than the youngsters at the Main Dealers we used for our maintenance. Fleet Engineer wanting to send a call-out fitter on an over a 150 mile round trip to a desolate spot in the Borders, to change a PTO switch, that was interchangeable with any other dash board switch. I had thought of extending my retirement date, can you guess why I changed my mind, even got a memo on how to close a tailboard, shattered my self confidence knowing Id been doing it wrong all my life, Yeah Right Just my rant for the day. regards pushrod47
