Any old promotor drivers around

I have told a few stories about Promotor driver, George Fadell on Trucknet but the one I like best, so will repeat it, is when I met him on the Autoput between Zagreb and Belgrade. He was heading towards Zagreb.

I saw him coming towards me and flashed him to stop. I went over to his lorry and, as you do, said hello and asked where he had been. He’d tipped down near Belgrade and was making his way to Sarajevo to reload. But George, I said, you passed the turn off for Sarajevo about 40 clicks back, and in his well educated voice he replied, “yes I know old boy, but I’m looking for somewhere to turn this bloo-y truck around”.

Was it a wonder ‘Staggie’ wanted to get rid of him.
