Anyone know what Manfrieght is like to work for out of Cairnryan? 4on4off
Given they don’t bother to stop for red lights at the roundabouts at Penrith, even the one that’s right next to the Police Station, I’m assuming that driving flat out is what is expected.
You can spend many daily rests in the laybys around Rugby and Lutterworth.

When you get off the Stena Line boat at Cairnryan loads of their units are parked up all clean almost like a truck show. Im assuming that’s why they don’t stop for red lights to keep brake dust to a minimum.

Exactly. Conor simply didn’t realise but when driving a top of the range truck it is ones duty to present it immaculately at all times. He clearly feels intimidated by we elite*group of drivers
*Rest In Peace dear dear Carryfast. You are missed.

Elite, you, really?
Define “Elite” in your case.

Off topic…
I know but, what’s actually happened? Why’s he gone MIA please?

I’m not. Couldn’t give a toss. Should’ve taken more with him

Have you been saving video footage of these heinous crimes and forwarding them to the ■■■■■■■■ Constabulary for urgent attention and also written a strongly worded message on Manfreight’s Facebook page with a link to the video footage?

I suppose it helps liven up an otherwise monotonous trunk to Lockerbie

I can only go by the driving style I see which going over the A66 most nights of the week I get to see quite often.

Waste of time, they know what goes on and they don’t care. Spent so long on hold trying to get through to them the other week because there was someone who was clearly going scouting either for load or diesel theft given how many times I passed him in a layby stood outside his car on his phone whilst looking towards the lorries that I managed to drive from Appleby to Scotch Corner before I gave up.

Exactly. Totally reasonable to judge an entire industry of a whole country based on seeing them on a single road every now and then. That sounds entirely reasonable.
Can’t say I blame them for treating the traffic lights as optional, especially on that junction where you can see if anything’s coming. Several sets of lights on my usual night runs get the same ‘optional’ treatment too. There is absolutely no need for traffic lights on roundabouts outside of peak periods. Once the peak is over the lights should be turned off, as used to happen about 25 years on the very few roundabouts that even had them.
