First 4 minutes…
Agency drivers eh. 
My pet hate 
Me too, can’t be doing with drama queens !! 
Regards. John.
Never mind about wiping agency drivers ■■■ off the dash,
its a shame he’s not as conscientious about his driving!
People keep going on about agency drivers but once when I was working at a well known retailer through agency, one of the their own drivers noticed me checking the oil and remarked that he never thought it was necessary because “the oil is checked when the vehicle goes in for inspection” 
There are some idiots on agency but there are also some idiots directly employed.
One time at somerfield a staff driver told me I couldn’t sit at a table with him and his other staff mates as I was an agency driver. Told the fat ■■■■ to be quiet I done the job better than him anyway. I known everyone at the table for years.
Bumped into him the other day (he got sacked for abusing sick leave) and he gave it all ‘I got my own company etc’. Turns out he was agency driver gone ltd.
I can’t stand these threads agency v staff I done both and I was good at both

If I’ve been back at base and my oil is on the verge of being topped up, I’ve sometimes not bothered getting it done because I know it’ll be ok for a few more days, and it’s having its inspection as soon as I get out of it for the week.
As soon as I get in on Friday morning, check the oil and straight round to the garage!!!
Yes Jay is a ■■■■, but why is Contraflow watching his Vids? 
I wonder if the agency driver knew who’s truck it was!

It came up as “suggested for me” while I was on one of those YouTube journeys that start with me watching videos of ladies beach volleyball and end up at videos of subdural hematoma surgery.

Heard some bad stories about this guy, but I definitely see his point on this.
You leave the motor spotless and some arse wipe, agency or otherwise, leaves it looking like a ■■■■ tip.
It does my ■■■■■■ swede in. 
Heard an agency guy asking the planner for the post code to one of our customers.approx 5 miles away on the a6 at belper.
Knowing that the hgv entrance is’nt on the a6…and is on a road that sounds incredibly like the road immediatly prior to it…i thought i’d tip him the wink(so to speak).
No sooner had i started to speak,he chimed in"yeah i know mate…i went last night"

He might have/want the live traffic updates.
Although he could have just selected the location on the satnav…

Then it gets cancelled at the last minute, just as the agency drivers pull into the yard to start filming. They get nothing. Not even an apology.
Full time knuckle draggers still get their bananas because they’re only going to get thrown away anyway.

I used to sometimes drive for a lad who is an owner driver, cover holidays, sickness etc, The cab had to be the grimmest I have ever been in. he is well over 20 stone, smokes 40+ a day and is obsessed with fish n chips. Thing is he just chucks all the old fish n chip wrappers into the passenger footwell and leaves them there for days/weeks maybe until they just rot away, the whole cab just stinks, seriously grim, takes the first few hours to stop gagging. and on top of that the seat is completely knackered and you can’t get 4th gear for at least the first 50 mile. Its an endurance event
He once questioned why I had brought my own sleeping bag, he said, “you should have just used mine, didnt think you would be a fussy bugger”
He’s part of the reason I didn’t do my CPC, mate or no mate, I just can’t drive his cesspit of a truck now no matter how urgent the situation.

I’ll stop your there. Once being the most important word in your post.
“maybe I’m a bit OCD when it comes to cleaning”. [Looks at rag ]
“ughh, look at that”? [chucks rag out the door].
He’s ‘a bit OCD’ about a truck, but doesn’t seem to be inflcited with it ten seconds later when littering the street. I like his consistency.
