“You cannot be serious!”Has to be another Boss&Driver windup
What is a “bate cabin” or “bait cabin” later■■?
perhaps its where all the guys go for a Thomas the tank 
I for one are glad you didn’t drive that day, why I hear you ask… Simples if your driving is anything like you spelling or grammar then my friend you are dangerous!
Look for an agency that’s recruiting comedians or clowns that’s where your future lies my son!

A picture diary would take these posts to the next level. It needs to happen!
Take a camera with you on your next assignment, especially if you go back to this place.
Please please please buy a camera, a photo diary would be magic!
Boss & Driver:
I don’t think this story will ever be so good as the last one that was removed but I will keep them coming so long as I’m not on pre-mod and one day just one day there will be a sticky thread
wont reveal any agency or company names at this stagewent for interview with new agency on Friday offered a job for Monday morning that Friday evening
agency said 7.20 start you will be working on skips and the company will give you an induction on how to load skipsturned up on Monday 7.20 and found it was a scrap yard
lads where in bate cabin
The cabin was a [zb] tip dirtiest scrap yard I have ever seen
one of yard boss man told me to weight in the cabin
he said have you done skips before I said no bossAfter a while one of the other lads came back into the cabin getting changed or something like that and he told me we have been through about 200 agency drivers
why I said 'ow they come from big companies and don’t like the muck don’t like the old wreckers R reg
The lad said this job is [zb] they [zb] about with old trucks, never start boss was running them on bio-derv or waste oils a while back but could never get them to start in winter so gave ourafter a while of weighting in the bate cabin I went out side to see what crack was
Saw one of the boys filling up the radiator bottle on wagon and put a good few liters in
I said how often do you do that he said ever day like
I said she’s thirsty ‘ow yes’ he said
We had crack about other things and he was keen to know what I had done so I told him
Told him what I had driven told him about the time when I worked in a couple of scrap yards told him about the next south emsall job
Then had crack with one of big yard boss man about all the crappy tyres in the back of his van
he said he did not collect them off of a job they where just off there wagons but there where all completely knackered any road
Then the other lad tried to start the wagon and battery was flat
Then another yard boss man popped along and told us about the time he was driving a milk float and the brakes went on it so he waked it into reverse and the motor set alight causing a fire
Then he told me how he got done for counting the money as he was driving along
I said was the fines as great as what you had in your hand then he went quite and said nar nar nar I said ow dear
A few other things we said to each other then he said [zb] job this you dont want to work hear laddy I tell you then went off to officeAfter a while me and the other lad went up to office for a ponder and office staff told him to tell me to weight in bait cabin
he came back with a pair of jump lead to jump it off the other wagon parked next to it
I said start her up and spin her round so batteries are on same side
he said you cant look at the it, one of the rear wheels was missing and all wheel nuts where loose on inside wheel (8 wheeler)
I said ow dose that mean the jobs gone plop ‘looks like it he said’
I put leads on batteries and was about to take caps off to check battery cells he said just leave it mate just weight in bait cabin
I said OK so off I went (bait cabin is 2 yards away)
sat in there watched them try to start her up had a good lath and then off she went in a puff of black smoke out of the exhaust
I popped out of the cabin and said whats wrong with it batteries knacked , he said no the alternator has gone
What about when you get to a job and she wont start he said we leave her running all day longWhen back into bait cabin Then another lad came along with cleaning gear to clean bait cabin out
I said how often dose this get done ‘ever week he said’ your having a drath I said
I asked him a few question about the job and he said it where [zb] boss man keeps sacking all drivers
he said you want to know about job go and see yard boss man
Then went out side and watched them [zb] about with another doggy wagonWhile dicking about weighting it was bait time for lads
lads came into cabin
yard boss man said think you should go see them in office (this was half past nine quarter to ten now)
When to office and there stood a tall dark bloke dressed up in a suit and tie
This was not the ordinary suite and tie and this was not the standard dress code for office staff and certainly not for a scrap yard
The guy looked a complete wide boy
I said to him ‘Hello I’m the agency driver and have just come to see if you want me to do anything yet’
he said just weight a minute and another guy came out and said we have to lorries off the road at the moment and all the drivers have turned in so we don’t need you today your agency should have phoned youI went back to the bait cabin to collect my stuff as all the boys where having there bait
Told them what was said and boss yard man said ‘do we need him for out in yard today’ nar dont thing so lad said
We said our good buys and I leftI phoned my agency told them what had happened and they said if anything comes in for tomorrow I will give you a call
I said what about the money for today will I be paid for the 2 1/2 hours I was there
She said um are er yes well you did not do any work, but I said I was there ready for work (POA) will I get paid she said I will have to ask themPhoned my agency up that afternoon
and said do you know the situation about my payment
she said they felt uncomfortable about sending you out in a lorry
I said why!?
she said er are um er well yes coz you have never worked for them before
I said will I get paid for the time I was there she said no coz you did not do any work for themIt is unlikely the agency will bother with me again
so court action a
I find the employment tribunals works best for pricks like them
I do not have a copy of my terms and condition but though I may as well go full hog and say
- in the terms and conditions of employment it states I will receive A minimum 8hrs pay per day
- dont know what the rate is hear but will say they told me 10 pound an hour
- I want my holiday pay on top of that which equates to 0.108%
Should I ring the scrap yard up in a few days time and say are you looking for any wagon drivers and yard laborers
you wont holiday money just 0.108% . 
it is mean from each earned 100 pound you get 11 pence.folow you rules if people work and earn 20000 pound per years,so,must be holiday money just about 20 pound per years.Which agency pay this holiday money.■■?
They must be a cracking company to work for and coining it in…There must have been at least 4 yard bossmen. How many scrap companies have that many
neither Boss nor Driver:
…I will keep them coming so long as I’m not on pre-mod…
I don’t think it will be long.
I hope this helps.
Four yard bosses, the mysterious tall, dark (and handsome) suited man, a filthy bait cabin, and no roadworthy vehicles. Just the sort of place an agency would want on their books, sounds like a great contract!
From the sounds of the tales on offer at the yard, Boss & Wagon should be looking at this place as a job for life!
