dozy:
I recently had another driver going on about the need to only strap the back 2 palls of a load , zb vosa and anyone else , that all he did and me putting on 10 straps was zb stupid , now a few days later I pulled into the strapping area with him in front of me , about to shut his curtains on the fully strapped up load , so after getting questioned about this sudden change of thought on strapping up on his part , I deduced like I do to a lot on this thread , Don’t do as I do , do as I say
Lorry drivers not being totally honest in what they say and do?
Heavens Above! You`ll be telling us that the internet sometimes has exaggerations and lies on it next!
At least we can be sure EVERYTHING on TNUK is all true FACTs.
drivers at our place [inc me] are lucky enough to have fitters onsite,one guy early in the morning until the others start at 8am,if you have a problem it’s fixed either straight away or asap,they also have a parts store off the workshop always stocked with the essentials.

It disgusts me when I see drivers making comments complaining when a company tries to do things properly as they should be done. There’s some real cowboys driving wagons on here and yeah robroy, you’re one of them. You’re not a professional driver or anywhere close with that attitude, you’re just another cowboy. I’d hate to have to drive the motor you use fulltime. No doubt when I got in it I’d find a list of faults a mile long that you’ve continued to drive with because in your mind as long as the wheels go round it doesn’t matter a toss, crack on drive. Wouldn’t surprise me if half the lights were out, bald or nearly bald tyres, knackered steering, loud knocking every time you went over the slightest bump…
Well if I even need professional advice on how to handle night trunks hauling kitchen units over the A66, you’ll be my first call Conor.
I will though give you top marks for having the balls to come back on here ranting and raving mere months after announcing in an insult-laden, derogatory comment heavy post that you were leaving truck driving because you were sick of having no life and dealing with “idiot drivers”, then coming back on every two days to boast of your superior working conditions and oh-so-wonderful new job only to then reveal/let slip that you were back behind the wheel driving lorries again.

I bet you buy each other coffee’s in the canteen and compare notes to see who has the biggest list of registrations of cowboys driving at more than 50 on the single lane bits of the A66.

Ah well, another weekend bites the dust y’all, y’hear. Time to get my stetson, chaps, boots buckskins, and spurs ready for morning, along with my ‘‘The good the bad and the ugly’’ cd soundtrack, ready for another week on my badly maintained Actros…(or ‘‘Trigger’’ as I prefer to call it. )
Wish I could be a Real Proper driver like the ‘‘Ice Road Truckers’’ or even ‘‘The Kitchen Cabinet Truckers’’
I can only dream.

Do you pull trailers out of Howden?
I used to a few years ago.
I work for them from time to time and quite enjoy it, cheers.
