Do they let you take passengers in thanks in advance
Try asking the company as they will know the answer. Generally though for commercial insurance passengers are not covered, only people on work related business are covered.
Not to mention the issue of having passengers when delivering to places where they don’t allow passengers.

We are allowed to carry passengers our company has no problem with it was just trying to find out the situation at cargill
Nash road? If so no unless you’re double manned. They’re fairly strict as well. I went in during the summer so kept my sunglasses on thinking they wouldn’t moan and wouldn’t even book me in until I got my proper glasses
What the eye doesn’t see!
They don’t check your cab so just get the passenger to jump on the bunk and keep a low profile you’ll be ok

From past experience this route isn’t always the best option. In theory it’s fine but if they are seen all hell can and will break loose. A company I worked for lost a multi million pound contract because one of the drivers hid his son in the bunk and someone saw him moving about from the weighbridge office. All our wagons instantly banned from site and never to return.

Why do people stick their noses in like this?
Why is it so unsafe to carry a passenger? These h&s knobheads would have stroke if they saw me letting my 5 year old son have a go at steering one of our trucks or diggers. My son knows never to touch any controls unless I’ve told him to, and he knows children should never play in quarries/building sites etc.
The only dangerous passengers I’ve encountered in quarries were our travelling friends. All on the lookout for tools, generators, scrap metal etc to half inch at night.

Exactly you would think your hiding a criminal the way they carry on,
The wife still comes with me now and then but I work for a firm that doesn’t have a health and safety nob head watching everyone 
It’s much more to do with insurance…
Than H&S. Premiums are lower if companies agree to not carry passengers or not let them on site. There is nothing inherently dangerous about someone sitting in a cab or sleeping on a bunk so H&S are, as usual full of crap.

Classic over reaction.
All my kids travelled with me over the years up to about 7 yrs ago, it was quality time, that I would never have missed.
Call me selfish, I don’t care, but I would still take that ‘risk’ today.
btw. The different firms I worked for were aware, one of the better ones even paid places and meals for them on overnight ferries to Europe.
Too many stupid ■■■■ rules and regs today in this job thought up and devised by tossers, often for no REAL reason.

I agree. I wouldn’t of got my licence if it wasn’t for being able to go with my old man every chance I could. I still remember the first time I got the stop out for the week (sad I know but I loved trucks. In fact I still do I love the job) the firm he worked for gave him trucks to drive with double bunks so I didn’t have to sleep across the seats.
How can we expect younger generation to want to drive and get in the industry if we can’t show them what it’s all about?

Ill never understand all the ■■■■■■■■ red tape in the UK, a truck has a dedicated passenger seat c/w seat belt and H&S ■■■■ heads go into one because theres a passenger? And…whats the problem taking a passenger into a yard/ unloading bay?? No puppies or kittens will get killed, its H&S gone t1ts up
I always went in to yards with me old dad when I was a kid. Only one place where I had to duck down on the floor to get through the gate, but once inside it was all normal. Can’t remember where that was. Kids don’t get the life experience now, that we had.
That’s a bloody steep hill.
