Carryfast:
Yeah right next you’ll be saying that you actually hated all those international artic runs you’d have much preferred to drive a 7.5 tonner for UPS on C and D multi drop .
Can’t say I realised UPS did Multidrop parcels in busses…
Surely you’d have preferred to apply for a 7.5t C and D job than driving a bus, let alone an artic, if what you’ve said is to be believed that driving anything bigger than that is just an ego trip.It’s all about choices right.
Can’t say that I realised how bus ‘experience’ could possibly prove so valuable when applying for truck driving work either.
Carryfast:
Fair enough 10 drops last one 600 miles from the first one.
Not exactly going to match the 6 drops per hour requirement.
Let alone heaving scaffolding and shuttering around a building site and yard and on and off a wagon a few times a day.
So why do you lie so constantly then? The fact you lie so much means so few people take you seriously on here. And it’s a great shame, you basically firebombed your own reputation. You could be so much better without that massive chip on your shoulder. Seems being at the brunt of bad luck once made you give up on ever having a useful successful life, so instead you spend your days spouting b/s and lies on here. It’s never too late, you’re not that old.
Let’s get this right you think that 10 drops around Italy with an artic, compares with 6 drops per hour in a shift on uk local multi drop with a four wheeler.
You must have let your ego get the better of you to miss out on small vehicle opportunities like that.
That supposed chip on my shoulder can now help others to see through ads like this one by asking the right inconvenient questions.
You know like is it 6 drops in a shift driving an artic which is more than enough.
Or is it 6 drops per hour with a four wheeler.
Assuming the latter why are you calling for class 1 drivers paying class 1 rates for the job.
That type of chip on my shoulder.
RB84:
Its Horses for Courses with driving ,one size doesn’t fit all. But that won’t stop Carryfast having a moan.
Same with most things in life, its finding your niche, granted its not always easy. But worth a try or at least learn a few “funny handshakes”
THIS! This is the basic point I try to put across and what Carryfast struggles with. There’s a job out there to suit everyone and when I was on agency delivering food in a 7.5t to M&S Covent Garden I was no more of less happy than driving to Italy. I was just at different stages in my life.
I have never seen or heard of this elitist face fit club that you keep on banging on about Carryfast, I must have had 30 driving jobs including agency 1 days and full time employment and never ever seen this, yes I’ve seen a few blue eyed boys here and there but nothing worth while to make my ■■■■ fizz after all these years, unlike yourself coming over all bitter and twisted.
My first class 1 job was 2 weeks after my 21st, I’d been driving class 3 for 3 years previously, was obtained by me visiting a site and asking if any jobs going, I was totally honest with the TM and he put me on the yard shunting for 2 weeks so I could get some practice at reversing. If it matters the company was Exel Logistics and was for the Argos contract that ran out of Penkridge at the time.
All I did was be honest and back then I wouldn’t say I was really confident but I would and could do a days work.
I apologise in advance for mentioning you in this Luke, but Carryfast why do you keep on to Switchlogic accusing him of being one of these face fit merchants? All I can see is a lad who likes a change in jobs and scenery and what is wrong with that I may ask?

Baffling isn’t it. He’s constructed this whole charmed life for me in his head. As you know my only point is how anyone could have a career like me or you. It’s fairly normal in this industry
The basic difference between Carryfast and us successful (face fits) drivers is that we were prepared to do the entire job, not just the sitting down part.
It probably helped that we didn’t bang on constantly, telling the boss that they were too tight to operate totally unsuitable combinations and specifications.
Carryfast was lucky to last as long as he did, if we can believe his account.

So not apologising for being a pathological liar then? That chip on your shoulder and the fact you lie constantly means absolutely no one takes any notice of you so yeah right…help others Not in this lifetime

You seem confused, it’s not me looking for drivers, I’m not ‘calling for’ anything

Surely you’d have preferred to apply for a 7.5t C and D job than driving a bus, let alone an artic, if what you’ve said is to be believed that driving anything bigger than that is just an ego trip.It’s all about choices right.
Can’t say that I realised how bus ‘experience’ could possibly prove so valuable when applying for truck driving work either.

I think it is quite normal but then again my face must have fitted to get a job at Exel on the Argos contract and yours at Nolans, how could it have been our attitude or willingness to learn and get on with the job?
To cap it all off I was not once offered the lucrative job of working in the warehouse at Exel to force me to out of the gate, apparently this happened quite a lot after UPS bought Carryfast, the company that is.

D is the licence category for buses.
7.5 tonner is car licence territory in old money C and D was/is the type of work in this case.Bearing in mind that uk night trunking let alone hauling UPS artic trailers around Europe was just an ego trip.

Never heard C & D used that way before. Nice to get these insights into your strange mind

Carryfast:
Yep fully experienced in ditching a truck I can’t match that in my whole career and don’t even want to try.
Indeed. You just let your employers destroy your health instead. I have a sneaking suspicion that my accident didnt have such life altering consequences. Well, not the ditch adventure. I think it’s fairly clear who f****** up most here.
Got my Carryfast bingo card at the ready. I think ‘which bit of xxxxx didn’t you understand?’ will be making an appearance

I’m guessing C & D refers to collection and delivery, not licence categories.

Talk’s easy Carryfast. It’s been a long time since you had the opportunity to put a truck in a ditch and being the slacker, the opportunity is now lost.
Wheel Nut:
C&D in the parcel world means Carry and Deliver. Carry it to the tailboard and then carry it to the delivery point.
What about the ‘collections’.Collect and Deliver.
No doubt Switch would ask to be exempted from having to do any collections and they would probably agree just for him.Then he’d say nah changed my mind I’m only doing trunking but no nights so the Paris run will do.

This fantasy life you’ve created for me is quite entertaining and hilariously fictional. Hilarious because of all the people online I put more about my working life online than almost any driver but you still feel need to make it up. I suppose with your stunted disappointing career you’ve had to live through others and making it up sort of gives you a buzz, like you sort of did it. Maybe.
You’ve not actually done parcels in a van have you? 60/70/80 drops? I have. And I told you about it previously so quit making up lies.
Not in this lifetime
