Volvo fh 480 clutch has been wrecked by me in 4 days but repaired in less than a day and back on road. I’ve been told I could of wrecked it in 1 day let alone 4 just by pulling away in wrong gear twice !!! I need advice on this to counter his claim it’s a 3/3 split box with 1st gear inhibitor. , apparently it was smashed to pieces and burnt out ,yet on recovery I managed to drive in 1st gear to help wrecker fund better area to hitch it 
Are they suing you or witholding wages? If neither don’t worry.

You don’t need advice to counter his claim. He needs to prove that you did it & did it maliciously to have any remote hope of making you pay.
Withholding your pay is totally the wrong way to start the process of doing this.
Do nothing, let him deduct your pay, then sue for unlawful deduction.
The boss is just another clown/chancer if the lorry is that delicate why were you not given specific instruction on how to drive it?move on and find a decent boss there still are a few about mate!
around 6 years ago ‘my’ Scania’s clutch was shredded after just 3 weeks old…Scania said it was my fault and asked if i was a recently passed driver 
tossers.my boss wasn’t happy either,but several weeks later,Scanny finally admitted i was in no way to blame,but gave us no more information.
Would be difficult to prove one way or the other really. The damage could have been done weeks or even months before you drove it TBH
Actually, he might not be far from the truth tbh, some Scania and Volvo’s used ceramic clutches, so idea is to set off in 1st gear with no throttle, then over to 3rd - but we all know in the real world, ■■■■ happens and if you see a gap whilst you’re in 2nd, you’re bloody going
Who was you working for? Pm if you prefer
Assured tilbury dicks sorry docks
What chas said, especially,
He needs to prove that you did it
They cannot PROVE something so obscure to be caused by YOU. It can be taken no further than some light hearted banter or, at the other end of the scale, bullying.
Glad to hear you’ve moved away from somebody like that…
…
…
… Even if you did wreck their clutch.
Only messing 
Have you found another job yet?
I know how you feel mate,i worked for an employer who was real tight ■■■■ that anything happened to the truck it was driver error…I had a front blowout on the tractor unit on the m25 and the blame come down to me saying “over the last few days I must have kerbed the tyres so much that’s why I had the blowout”…next was an ECU failure due to water leaking in to the ECU as the Volvo was a battered old v reg,was told by “manager/driver/extordinaire” that I must be deliberately driving through puddles to do that damage to the ecu…it was in autumn and it ■■■■■■ it down every day for weeks…oh yes I told him to fyck himself and his job!

I’ve got a feeling that was one of jobe’s old ones. Give him a pm with the reg. Was it tke? I remember it as we have tkd and tkf. I’m sure it was jobe’s and he posted on a thread about Hanbury riverside, on the od forum. He said it was a troublesome motor from the off. Incidentally, we also have tkk, which has been nothing but trouble

If you look at your right hand. You’ll notice some fingers. Close your fingers into the palm of your hand to form a fist.
Now you have a choice to make. Either use the fist as it is to express your displeasure by aiming it at his stomach and face.
Or alternatively extend the middle finger and show it to him.
If what you’re saying is true there is no way on earth you’ve ruined that clutch.
In my younger and stupider days I tried to burn the clutch out in a transit pickup because the bloke was being a bell end. Loaded it took me a week of deliberate ■■■ hole driving to do it.
I’ve grown up since
Once wages are in my bank I’m going after him. He got it in for me from day one as he asked me to hitch up a skelly and guess what at 4am I woke him up and said I don’t think so do you I’m thorough and on my walk round It’s mot EXPIRED IN NOVEMBER

Get your wages banked and forget them, they’re a shower. Trust me stay bitter and you’ll only wind yourself up again and again.
