I rarely washed my truck but ■■■■ Bentley (the TM at Tilcon) would spot you on the weighbridge and order you to give it the once over before delivering that load if he thought it didn’t portray the company image. He would also check the front bumper and tell you to get some white paint on it smartish if it looked tatty, also make sure the chrome wheel discs on the Fodens were tidy and not damaged.Pete.
My dayman would go ballistic if I failed to give the unit a wash off after my night trunk,especially if I had to do a Maddiston and back to Manchester,that A74 used to be filthy,although to be honest,not many passed me,unless they were other SoM’s!
