who’s claim to fame is crashing things in a big way.
Is it?
You did say that it was you who was responsible for the ditched truck which you seem to take great pride in by freely admitting it was followed by promotion to a better wagon.
While if I’ve read it right you’re off work now because of what exactly or have I missed something ?.
As for your ‘knowledge’ of C and D work and what it entails that was self evident in you thinking it’s a class of licence. 
I was fairly well known at that point. It’s hardly my claim to fame. Nice try though. X (Tho you could go with the idea of taking responsibility for your f*** ups. I do, always have as you see there. You fire blame round like a scattergun and think you’re totally innocent. The thing I take pride in is being brought up well by my parents, to accept and learn from mistakes and have employers who respected me enough to give me a second chance…and as anyone will tell you Irish transport families* really do not suffer fools gladly. But you won’t know that 
Have you even been to Ireland?)
*ireland is like the U.K. used to be. Most of the big transport operators are family operations with generally the whole family involved. Virginia it’s the Coles. It’s why I went to work in Ireland, being able to talk first hand directly with the man who pays your wages is important imo and how U.K. used to be before everyone sold out to ‘logistics providers’. Still some here, like recent employers Whites and Broughton (and the other one )

Says the man who ‘worked’ 15 years for UPS but struggles with the concept of a van. I’ve not done a UPS run for 10 years, truck, (parcels in a van were for someone else) and that’s still getting on for a decade and a half more recently than you.

It’s an entry level role, route planning. You’re further demonstrating your total lack of experience of the transport task. How is it that you seem incapable of physical and mental undertakings that normal drivers like Luke, myself and all the other professionals here, perform as second nature?
‘Luke’ didn’t even know
First time you’ve used my name! I love how it’s in ‘ ‘ as if you think it’s not real. Unlike you Carry old fruit I have the balls to put my real name and face to my opinions. You really don’t. Probably has something to do with you being a homophobic ‘moderately’ racist bigot I suppose.
Carryfast:
All the ‘route planning’ in the world isn’t going to allow you to get a load of collections on a truck that’s already loaded with a load of drops.
Still that eh? Not a truck, a van. For what must be the tenth time
Carryfast:
Especially when the customers waiting for their deliveries generally want them delivered before the customers waiting for their collections want them collected.
Again showing you have ZERO van experience. Keep trying.

Thanks, you are a star

Not that sort of star, a Western Star.

‘Luke’ didn’t even know what C and D work means and that’s about how much you also obviously know about it.
Nor did I, it’s Pud in my parlance.
So no answer to the question how did I manage to do almost all of the 15 years I did night trunking without ‘interacting’ with any load only trailer and box swaps.
Did you? Or is that something else from your overactive imagination?
It’s not my fault that they changed the operation from mixed pallets and loose to all loose load handball and the warehouse labourer staff then predictably ran for the hills and the stupid/dodgy TGWU decided to allow drivers to replace them.
All the ‘route planning’ in the world isn’t going to allow you to get a load of collections on a truck that’s already loaded with a load of drops.
Duh! That’s the entire essence of route planning.
Or ensure that every size of collection will match every size of drop.
Especially when the customers waiting for their deliveries generally want them delivered before the customers waiting for their collections want them collected.
6 drops per hour yeah right good luck with that.
Are you deliberately obtuse or were you born that thick?
Many moons ago I would do 40 drops a day, on average.

I don’t know how you aquired this hallucination that Lukes face fitted. I mean, look at the fellow, he fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down! 
How DARE YOU! DONT YOU KNOW WHO I AM?!
Just some random, hardworking truck driver who earned his status of elite, rather than a lazy dreamer whose employers couldn’t wait to be rid of. Forgive me if I’m wrong.

My brother (who owned his own van) who’s holidays I covered used to do between 60 and 80 drops. That was his second job of the day, he was up at 4 to do newspaper deliveries first. That seems to be the running theme with Carryfast vs everyone else…everyone else knows what hard work is. I’ve spent over half my truck driving career working for the Dutch and Irish (yes, it was everything they’re known for) and whenever I covered the odd week for my brother it nearly f***** killed me! I had no idea how he did it, and he had a baby at time! Carryfast would have been suicidal!

Ironically if he’d have actually worked for UPS he would have been sacked because putting a truck off the road didn’t count as three avoidables in a year and you’re out.The first would have been the last.
Ironically if you had crashed badly and been sacked your back and your health might have survived and you might have had a career longer than 5 minutes. That way crashes could have ultimately been good for us both. In theory, like others I’m rapidly coming to conclusion you’re just a bit work shy and got out at the first excuse.
Funny old life isn’t it.
Peace be with you my geriatric friend x
Think of the entertainment of which we would have been deprived.
I’ve a sneaking suspicion that trouble ‘finds’ him, so if it weren’t that it would be something else.
I think I have found Carryfast in the company brochure.

Don’t know what’s worse.A shift sat in that poverty spec cab or 6 drops per hour.
There’s more space in an old Mini.
I’ll never moan about a Euro day cab again.
