Every firm has the driving God.He is paid to drive his truck but will change your trip to suit him as he has something booked at home.
He will pick faults with your lorry.
Tell you what to do and what time to be there.
Tell you off for minor things and acts like a manager.He thinks he is better than everybody else.Wants the best work and stamps his feet if somebody else gets the cream.
Toys thrown out the pram.
Lol worse than that, when the desk jockeys actually accommodate these ■■■■■■■■■■
“There’s your motor, there’s where your going… Not happy with that■■? Away home, unpaid… Let the workers work!!!”

You allways find these type of bloke have the best motors and best runs but still moan,the desk jockeys try to look after them to keep them quiet ,while this is going on they dont realise the good lads who dont moan are unhappy with getting the crap making it a unhappy place to work,give the moaning blokes the crap then they have something to moan about ,hes going to moan anyway no matter what job hes got
At least it’s not as bad as a bossy manager who thinks he’s a driver…
Yes there’s one where I work. These things spoil his day and he will let his displeasure known to all in the vicinity.
“Dump and Run” -Not the art of ■■■■■■■■ in a carrier bag but leaving pallets at a drop.
Unswept load beds.
Dirty/Dusty cabs.
Avoiding handballing at all costs. Honestly, you will be declared “lazy” if you use your sack truck.
Lying to customers-At new drops we tell them insurance wont cover us to go up or downstairs. Until he goes there and confesses.
Throwing away reusuable packing like bitumin paper (used on top of pallet).
Not trying to get empty pallets back (no pallets=no load strapping )
Cotswoldcrunch:
Yes there’s one where I work.
+1. This one would come in the next day & quiz me where I ended up being sent from another depot, why I did or didn’t do this & that, even down to what mode my tacho is in (not kidding), complete ■■■■■■:lol:

Normally opening your door just as you are about to leave. Telling them the order you’re doing a run will normally get the response “you’re doing it wrong”.
“Why?”
“It’s not the way I do it.” Tough ■■■■■■■ then.
Given the current driver shortage you have to ask who is the bigger mug. Is it the guy who gets what he wants or the one who just quietly sits there and takes the crap?
You are in a new(ish) area, the ones that insist on looking at your notes for 8 drops and telling you the best way to get to them, in order.
Me
“Sallright, I got sat nav”
Him.
“Down the road, left at the lights, 2 miles up you’ll see a crows nest high up in an old oak tree, turn right and then over the humpty back bridge, sharp left and around the first left hand bend. Now look for an old pillar box and about 300 yards past that there is an old, derelict pub on a corner. That’s your first drop.
From there carry on down, it’ll get tight but don’t worry…”
Yada yada yada for all 8 drops.
Me.
“Right then, where was the first one, right at the lights did you say ?”
I know he thinks he’s helping but does he really think I can remember directions for all 8 drops ?

Better than shrugging his shoulders and walking away,should have asked the bloke to do you a map,some drivers love to draw a nice map for you,
