Think of how much the supply driver’s job would now improve - if one got to stay in cab, and therefore also able to take breaks on bays, etc… forever i.e no rolling back to the bad old system
- Sitting down in the cooler for 2-3 hours with all the other hairy-arsed… People in there, sharing one’s germs, not being able to book a proper break due to lack of amenities, and then needing to take a proper break on the service road, getting moaned at etc etc
If you’ve got your wagon on a bay, IMMOBILIZED ffs - then what was EVER the danger of “sitting in your cab”, even on the passenger side, as is common practice these days?
…If it’s H&S you’re worried about, I’d like to see an end to this practice of close-aligned bays, where shunters routinely back a trailer when you’re visibly down the side, or on the catwalk.
They’ve noted you there, but are in this rush-rush-rush hurry presumably, that they cannot wait a few moments for you to emerge from the side of the truck, having just immobilized it, dropped legs, etc…
Are full time shunters some kind of “failed driver” rank where those who’ve lost their licences go to be “put out to pasture” or something?
I’ve just seen a Shunter at Costco honking and fist waving, at a truck driving at 10mph, because said Shunter was trying to overtake him, and ran out of yard…

Sainsbury’s at Waltham Point make you put a padlock on the red airline after removal and sit in the passenger seat, where the hell am I going after the red airlines been taken off anyway?
Box jockey taking a trailer off one of the bays in the yard I’m currently sat in. Couples up, tug test, then (trailer brake still on) gives it a bit more gas and pulls it far enough forward to allow him to close the doors. OK, he’s hardly going to drive up the road like that, but it was easily far enough to seriously injure a forkie if they happened to be going in/out of the trailer at the time.

Red Light, Keys handed in, red airline off, padlock on red airline prong, sitting in passenger side so you can’t kick the handbrake off a downhill off bay…
Waltham Point
Made the mistake of pressing the button before I’d got the keys on the hook…
Empty dog clip is quickly yanked up the tube, to cries of derision when no keys found on the end…
Someone shouted down the tube like on ship “Hey - put the f…in keys on FIRST and THEN press the button”

Shunters would mess their pants driving an artic on real roads with the car muppets
