kitkat… more like porkpie
and you can shut up to jb, no one asked for your comment’s
Not even attempted to go under it and phoned the Police who would have come and stopped the traffic. I assume kitkat is at least half capable of reversing so it wouldn’t be an issue.
and the company get’s a large bill for their time and effort,provided they can do it for me. and for your info mr perfect,i can revearse quite well ta very much.
What would have happened if he had hit the bridge? Would he just have kept his mouth shut and carried on? Meanwhile as the next train comes along at 70MPH and gets derailed…Would he have phoned railtrack and reported it, risking a fine of thousands of pounds and guaranteed loss of job? I doubt it.
you obviously don’t know me.yes i would call the police,railtrack etc.rather than run the risk of trains de-railing due to me not doing anything about it.and as for losing the job,do you really think if i had not reported the hitting of a bridge that could cost lives,that i’d really worry about a poxy job with DHL,i would think that i’d have more on my mind don’t you.let me chuck that question back to you,would you report it ( although i already know what your answer will be,due to you being better than most,in other words a do-gooder)
And what he did was completely unprofessional but I guess then that must include you if you think it was a viable thing to do. This is why I left the (zb) - banging my head against the wall trying to promote us as professionals when people who should know better come up with stupid comments like his and yours.
i seeked help/assistance from another professional truck driver,and you call that unprofessional do you (zb).say no more on that point
conor in my 14years off driving wagons,big or small i have never had an accident nor hit any bridges as i’m normally well alert,and on this occassion i had been given the directions from another lad who lived and worked out of our sei depot ( scottish express international) at dundonald.he told me that i would get under that bridge with no problems.as i approached the bend i noticed the height marker out of the corner of my eye’s.it was obscured by tree’s and by this time it was too late as i was past the point of no return.it was marked as 14’3’’ and as soon as i noticed this i had no option but to stop well away from the nasty bend,so to give oncoming trucks/cars plenty of room to stop.the 1st venicle round was p&o and i asked him to help/guide me through it as even he realised that i was in a difficult situation.we both agreed that i’d lower suspension front and back and that he’d stand on top of his unit and watch me under.i got through without touching the bridge and no damage was done.as soon as i got through i pulled over to the hard concrete surface to let him carry on to troon for his ferry,and to let the other cars on there way and i stood outside and i gave every car driver a wave and a thankyou for their time and patience.now if you say i ain’t a professional driver then that is your opinion and i can’t alter that opinion,but you don’t know me and never have met me, so how you can come to this opinion of me is puzzling me.( personnelly your opinion has of no interest to me) you seem to like to pass coments on other drivers actions and how we all handle different situations,but just ask yourself have you never got into a tricky situation weather it’s entering a customers premises and suddenly realized hey i can’t turn in here.or down a street where the access is bloody tight as you have never been to them before.i see this on a daily bases and if i can i’ll get out and help them.would you or would you call them non professional’s for getting themselves into that situation in the 1st place.
