After spending four n a half hours at an RDC the other night being a new driver I thought this can’t be the norm, well I was booked into one ladt night at eleven, I got there on time and to my surprise I was the only one there, no one else being tipped or waiting so I thought " great I’m on a flyer here " handed my paperwork in and was told to wait in my cab to be allocated a bay, after an hour and half I thought " maybe not " lol after nearly two hours I was put on a bay and tipped in ten minutes with another thirty minutes wait for paperwork! So the lesson learnt is " RDC’s rule the world and there ain’t ■■■■ all ya can do about it "
Bugger that, get on the blower to the gaffer and get him/her on the case if they dont entertain you in the rdc office when you ask them whats going on.

I’ve walked into RDC’s to hear drivers asking how long are they going to be as they have been there an hour already, Well they are usually still there when I leave
If you fancy a break a short sarcastic comment to the forktruck driver will get you a good one another lesson learnt
As a new driver there are a few phrases you need to learn, the people in an RDC love drivers with a sense of humour
I could give you a penny for your thoughts and get change for the coffee machine.
Hey! I’m a human being. What are you?
Can you turn around when I am speaking, I’d like to see your face… Oh sorry, that’s not your arse?
Would you like some cheese and crackers to go with that whine ?
Do you love nature…despite what it did to you?
Your mother and father hated you so much, your bath toys were an iron and a toaster.
Out of 100,000 sperm, you were the fastest?
Your birth certificate is a written apology from the condom factory.
