God bless Whites Transport.

Postby the maoster » Mon Jan 17, 2022 8:31 pm

I look forward to Pete Whites verbal jousting almost as much as I look forward to payday! Here is his latest offering of ire directed towards Parking Eye. Keep up the good work MrWhite :D :D :D

He has a fantastic sense of humour, missed his vocation as a comedy writer.

I wonder how much transport firms would just past the cost on to the driver without even investigating or fighting it.
Good on him.

I think there’s more behind this than meets the eye , I’ve parked in services all over the place including membury & never had 1 ticket , yet he’s apparently ( or his lorries ) have got 6 at membury ( or maybe 6 different services )
Surely if this parking eye were upto some scam or other we’d all be getting them , or bosses would
Is this the mob who dumped there truck in a suoermarket car park , was it sains in Swindon ? Or was it someone else
As I say I’m a bit baffled why this Mob are getting all these tickets yet I’ve not seen a mention anywhere else on here !! , no other drivers complaint of it , strange
I guess it will boost his Facebook hits though

I'm guessing that as their base is on Lambourn Woodlands adjacent to Membury Westbound his trucks use the service entrance off the services car park and therefore pass the camera as they enter the car park yet don't actually park there.

Maybe his trucks are using the service entrance via the services. Which he probably isn't allowed to.It saves them going to next junction on the motoway and around the roads to get to the yard.
So obviously quieker and easier to divert via the services. He's been found out and is now complaining.
Well that's my theory

I felt the same, came across as a self centred pig.

By his attitude you shouldn't work for the parking company at all. Will he pay to feed the families that depend on the wage they earn from the company. Of course not he is a hard man behind a sheet of paper

So you have no problem with these companies exhorting money in dubious circumstances, putting up signs that can't be read threatening people with court action when they have no right to. If you work for one of these companies then expect the flak that goes with it

I've seen...

Barriers erected at every MSA I've ever had a 45 in. They soon get broken and the service area becomes another private junction for the locals. There used to be small traffic jams at Woolley Edge.
There's also an assumption that the fleet is using the exit, which may or may not be the case.
I'm 90% certain that my kids and my dog have a bet on who can be the most disgusting.

Now why are you putting words in my mouth and you know that.

The fact is that the letter is getting sent to someone who is on min wage to process paper work. By all means send a letter stating why he won't pay but to verbally boot the worker in the nads for putting food on their table is just bully material.

Why not speak directly to the md and give them abuse instead of the pleb who processes paperwork.

Would it be OK for some one to call you all sorts at a collection because your gaffer sent out a letter to them.

I have heard from locals close to Membury that the access gate was/is left open, although there is signage against it`s use.
No comment from me on who is, or isn`t, actually using it.

Work for a company like that then expect to be treated badly so no objection whatsoever if more people took bit of a principle about working for companies that are nothing but leeches then maybe these compnaies would have to have a re-think about their practices

Private parking firms like to con motorists by putting those yellow stickers on the windscreen that look like the tickets that you should pay and not ignore to confuse people so they pay up without a quibble.
They look like the official issued ones and then send threatening letters and demand for payment of their invoice and use legal jargon to bully people with court action and affecting the credit score.Dozy is right it was a Whites that was photographed by a member of public that had the same name with something to do with their fan club or photographer when he said a truck can’t park there to shop and taking up space in an empty car park in a supermarket.

Knutsford Northbound, in a morning it’s a constant stream of traffic coming down the service entrance by the fuel pumps and getting on the M6.

Most MSA’s have service roads that you could effectively cross the motorway and head the opposite direction

Them using the services as a quick way to get on/of the motorway sounds about right.

Strensham has a slip road and both North and South bound with the lane over the bridge, if bored you can walk to one MSA to the other to meet a work colleague for a coffee .
Michael Wood has a slip road on both sides , on the S/B there used to be a cosy little pub down the lane.No need to sit in the cab, plenty of places where you can escape the MSA and wonder around the lanes.

There often used to be a police car sat in the car park next to the exit of the service road at Membury. I saw them ticket several people using it, but not seen them there for several years.

It is stupid though. It saves about a 5 mile diversion for the sake of a 200 yard piece of track.
