A few truths

You will always without fail meet another artic at the tighest bend on a road!

When you are dropping a big digger in a small village with narrow roads first thing in the morning you will meet a school bus coming the opposite way usually on a bend with soft verges :unamused:

EastAnglianTrucker:
When tipping, the FLT driver will ALWAYS say, “…I’ll be right with you drive…” and then disappear for at least an hour!

same with a shunter “I’ll move the truck in 5 minutes” then he will not be seen for at least 45 minutes

mazzer:
When needing to turn round on a road the road will be empty until you select reverse then out of nowhere at least 10 cars will turn up and not one will stop to let you complete the manouvre.

:laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

NOT just me then!!!

dazamc1983:
When idiot drivers are late they are careless and become so wreckless they tailgate but thats another post. :laughing:

you still going on about that :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

Coming into the depot or calling in at a garage, there will be NO ONE at the pumps.

Until the very moment you turn the corner, then there’s a queue a mile long!

The elderly lady/ gent in the Micra wearing a hat doing 50mph on the motorway will always speed up to match your speed when you move out to overtake

When waiting to turn right from a T junction onto a busy road, there’s cars only coming from one way but as soon as they stop a big stream of cars start coming from the other way, then when they all gone they start from the first side again!

This happens all the time,some of calls we do at 3663 are pubs out in the sticks and almost as soon as you select reverse to go in their car park 4 or 5 cars are coming along the road! :laughing:

Not seen many hats doing 50mph, motorway or not! :laughing:

The only set of traffic lights for miles will suddenly be invaded by some old dear and her shopping the minute you get there. :neutral_face:

You back off so the overtaking truck can pass with ease and then flash him in and you’ll get no thanks, flash in a paddy steaming along at 60 and his back lights will light up like a christmas tree.

As soon as you accept a booking from an agency, all your other agencys will phone offering work the same day.

I’ve had nowt all week then 3 offering work for tomorrow

Get both sides open,boards out,posts moved-what do you get?? ‘It’s ok,mate I can load/tip you from one side’. Only open one side,and guess what■■? :laughing: :laughing:

the queue you join to get into a dock to collect a container will be the slowest one to move out all of the lanes available

or

the moment you get out the cab to walk across to the shops in the services it will begin to pelt down with rain/hail/sleet/snow once your halfway there and your coats still in the cab as it was dry when you stopped a moment ago

You tipped and call the office for reload details, and its 1755hr, and they say ‘i’ll ring you back’. And they dont. This happened to me few years back on containers,so i drove back empty.Never did that again. :smiley:

Your trailer in the yard that’s “ready to go” will be the one that’s blocked in.

or you open the gate the wrong way :wink: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

Every traffic light is on red when you are in a hurry to get back to base after your last drop! Especially on the East lancs!

Or that residential road that is tight as a ducks arse that you have just nailed then gets blocked by someone so that you cant get out, and they are just no where to be seen!

you pull up to a store delivery park on the bay and then as soon as you have your wagon perfectly square and have just turned the keys to off you need to move it as someone ‘needs to move there car’

Oh and when the transport office says your in for an easy day… you know its going to be a ■■■■■■■■

You take your truck to the garage for a fitter to repair something and it completely ruins his day.
