There’s one thing getting out of a vulnerable car to stand, but in the unlikely event anyway, of a truck getting hit I can not see a problem.
I’ve kipped in my bunk on the hard shoulder numerous times waiting for tyre fitters and the like.
Tbf mate you chose to take the money, if I had felt as bad as you about it , I’d have abandoned ship and got a lift home…you were not forced to stay there.It wasn’t a truck, it was a van, stopped in lane 2 after a bend on a 40mph road and traffic was getting intensive with nearly 0 power left in the battery the hazard lights were about to fail any moment. I thought about getting a cab but it would’ve cost me £50-60 to get back to the yard and I would’ve got sacked if I did that anyway so I figured I’d stick it out; I didn’t want to call anyone at 3:30 a.m. to bother them with MY problems, either
Look mate, I’m just giving my take on it as you asked for opinions.
In that particular situation, and if I felt as bad as you about it…
I would have rang the agency first, telling them I was ■■■■■■ and to arrange something within the next couple of hours that I would allow them before I ■■■■ ed off…I’m fairly sure that they could if they wanted to.
No joy?..so ring the Police to inform of abandoned broke down van, then use a bit of initiative and get a lift home.
Sacked?..who cares, it’s a ■■■■ 10 a penny agency, who usually show zero loyalty from their end, so not the end of the world…their problem.
