Better lay down here for a little nap…
hahaa pmsl love it 
It’s great being on a grab lorry. You can earn a bit of cash on the side.
Looks like he’s fly tipping down the embankment report him .
Reminds of that film called Hancock, where Will Smith breaks stuff just for fun, looks like he tipped this on its side & left it balancing [emoji1]
One of his spotlights has fell off 
Jacked it up a bit far.
Looking at the photo in the link, it looks like a classic short leg lift gone wrong, (the nickname given when the legs are not extended outwards just downwards. ) he is parked against a fence, the one the truck is ultimately leaning against, you can just see the crane swung over the fence, there will no doubt be a pack of bricks or blocks (or rubble ) on the otherside. Typical privately owned style builders merchant truck with little or no safety features, or alternatively the driver overrided them, certainly cannot do that with my truck.

Ha ha indeed, I don’t work for TP , Jewson, Buildbase or MKM in fact I don’t do residential anymore, (thank the lord) I have worked for Gibbs and Dandy ( jewsons sister company also owned by St Gobain in the past, never again ) I only do Civils and infrastructure sites nowadays, delivering specialist drainage products and equipment, no weekends or bank holidays either, lots more B.S, health and safety jobsworths at these places though.
Since no one else has yet said it. The phone call to the office starts “Boss, I`ve cracked the mirror”… . .

had a proper look instead of a quick glance and you are right,was this driver not thinking when he put the legs down,he must have realised the legs need to be extended when delivering heavy goods, still if it is his motor he has a lot to payout in damages

Hancock & Brown is a local (to Swansea) builders merchants, I doubt very highly the boss has got a LGV licence let alone drives his own delivery vehicles

There are many reasons why you short leg (if the truck allows it) the driver was probably trying to get a longer reach into the property the most likely reason, due to nagging builders/ homeowners ,with or without financial inducement , the magic £20 note always goes down well to a poorly paid hiab driver had it myself, or the classic " Will you put the pack of bricks on top of the scaffolding tower for £20 drive ■■ " . Disaster is never far away doing crane work, i.e dodgy “rotten” pallets full of indian stone, semi split bulk bags the forkie has gone through whilst loading, packs of bricks with semi split banding or none at all wrapped in 2 rounds of indestructible cling film 
, i’ve had them all.

As Reef states there are cowboy independants all over the country.
What?!
I never stated any such thing!
I merely pointed out that it was unlikely that it was the owner of the business driving/operating the truck as truckman020 hypothesised.
I have no reason to suspect this independent builders merchants has done anything untoward and neither do you to be fair, to me it just looks like driver error whether misjudged ground conditions or laziness/rushing I don’t know, I’m not a HIAB driver so my opinion counts for nowt.
My apologies reef i take that back, i took that as an insinuation, we have one or two cowboy independants around here, most of which mates have worked for at one time or another or gone out of business.
when he finish the job there send him to help this guy here
