Hiya…the cleanest …new trailers… always new tyres and all the lights working
…the dirtest is Carbon Black…it dos’nt smell…even if your windows are closed the black gets in your cab
and you get a black mark under your nose where you’ve breathed in the dust… wait you’ve not got out of the cab yet
there was a aluminum paste i carried at one time…the kegs was closed but some spillage had got onto a keg.
for some reason i had a touch of this paste so it was on my finger then on my jeans i must have scratched my
head it was there this s…ty stuff was every where and i only started with one small spot on a finger

I am currently on a contract with the walking floor moving rotting landfill waste from south London up to Manchester! It stinks, I get covered in crap, and I can’t get rid of the smell!!
Aye well, I drive a wrecker, so when you blow the diff on that landfill site, spare a thought for the guy that has to roll round under your truck loading it onto an underlift!
On the other hand, recovering Astons is a nice clean job.
the cleanest is what i do now i guess, and the dirtiest was when i was on the bulk, either picking up chicken ■■■■ from farms or possibly PK expellars (i think it was) or fishmeal in bulk
I carry Carbon Black fairly regularly, it’s in ton bags, but there’s always a little bit in the trailers, I get it washed out, but there’s a problem with that, 99% of truckwashes won’t go near it. I sometimes sweep it out, like standing in the plant when being unloaded, you get black bogies for a couple of hours after, the blokes that work with it everyday must have some seriously black insides.
the cleanest driving job iv done is delivering blocks foam the dirtiest is the one iv been doin for 5 years on and of is takin househould waste all over the country even have the plesure of sewage waste from time to time .
Cleanest was probably running for Royal Mail from Crewe to Holyhead everday with the Irish mail, that was back in the 80s.
Dirtiest possibly now on bulk blowers delivering feed to farms with the possible exeption of when we used to deliver wet hides to Italy in tilt trailers.
Once parked up on a Saturday afternoon in the summer at a services near Allessandria, the fat and blood and salt was dripping all down both sides of the trailer, didnt however seem to bother the two Portugese chaps parked next to me that were cooking their breakfast from the trailer boxes
mark h:
cleanest av done is containers , am on tautliners now an if ya good ya can keep clean
dirtiest, done a stint on the bulkers hauling fishmeal/soya it got everywere no matter how careful ya was
Second week on curtainsiders last week rotten this week fairly clean. Luck of the draw on some jobs but a bit of practice is a big help.
yer some jobs i can get dirty on while strappin up the load or the trailer is filthy an wet but if you keep your body away when pulling curtains back etc an be careful when doin buckles you should be fine

DIRTIEST…picking up dead chickens on a weekly basis from companies farms. Liquid running out the bags and maggots by the million. I refused to handle them at the finish and got two mental lads out the factory who came dressed in trainers and never even noticed the most horrible smell I
DIRTIEST…picking up dead chickens on a weekly basis from companies farms. Liquid running out the bags and maggots by the million. I refused to handle them at the finish and got two mental lads out the factory who came dressed in trainers and never even noticed the most horrible smell I have ever smelt in my life. One guy puked up into the mask they gave him. The two head cases used to throw the ■■■■■■■ things at each other and were covered in stinking, rotting, horrible bits of well decomposed chickens. YUCK, YUCK ■■■■■■■ YUCK!
CLEANEST…Loads of unused new bog rolls from Kimberly-Clark.
