Don’t forget to murder a couple of prossies and you’ll be sorted then
norb:
A long a the appropriate PPE was worn ,hat,vest ,gloves ,eardefenders,glasses ,boots,wheels chocked ,first aid kit with the first aider at hand ,and the fire extinguisher ,not forgetting a mobile incase emergency service are required…Obviously if climbing in to the cab ,then the appropriate harness is required to arrest any fall from that really high step
Dont forget the crash mats in case the harness fails!!! 
Call yourself a proper trucker, your signature at the bottom of your post’s doesn’t tell us when you passed your cycle proficiency,11plus, bike test,car test,class 2, class 1 and finally the holy grail the ADR. Professional my ar…
The OP MUST respond to desypete’s inference of temporary employment.
ARE YOU FULL TIME OR AGENCY■■?
Don’t forget your polo shirt with gut poking out the bottom, a stranger to soap and water and tattoos of the names of offspring in case you forget and the ability to whinge constantly.

I’ve heard your only a proper trucker if you can tick 3 of the below:
Always where hi viz whilst driving
Get your knickers in a twist over other drivers wearing hi viz whilst driving
Put on this forum that something boils your pizz
Refuse a bed as there’s a piece of wood to sleep on across the seats
Have a funnel in a hole in your truck floor so you can pee thru (wtf!!)
Say you prefer manual boxes as autos make the job to easy
Deny you work for an agency and state you actually prefer when to pick and choose your shifts instead
Elephant race
Preach that anyone who took the Cpc were mindless sheep and it was only an eu directive, and totally against you human rights and the law
Raise your arms in a “what the hell am I supposed to do now or why did you do that” to at least one other driver every five miles

I can only tick one of those so for that reason I’m out.

I thought doing a ■■■ in a field made you a trucker?No, doing one in a Tesco (other supermarket and grocery emporiums are available) carrier bag while doing 56mph on the cruise control makes you a proper trucker. Just make sure you have the handles at the front and rear and not the sides.
Proper truckers don’t use cruise control. They lose concentration then look in the mirror as you overtake, then leave the inferior driver in the middle lane

I am glad this has happened to someone else as i thought i was being paranoid
you can add taking a dump in the cab to the list of requirements, as no driver worth his salt doesn’t carry bog roll around in there kit bag for those times when the passenger side becomes the bog
