NEW AND WANNABE DRIVERS (INTERACTIVE)
1

Evening all

Back in the Swedish monster today. Rustler q/pounder inserted into microwave. Reduced whoops cola placed in convenient under-bunk fridge. The beaver is ready to roll. Or not. Night shift bellend driver comes over sheepishly at the same time as my retina’s scope the fuel needle. After a brief acknowledgment of bellendish behaviour,480 horses are saddled up.
Gaffer comes over. Asks if I fancy a blast up the East Lancs in a BRAND NEW scanny to put its first tank of fuel in.
Go on then lol! 25 mins later,fuels in and my face resembles Jack Nicholson as The Joker. Christ these things move with no trailer.
Back to depot. Re-saddle my beast and hook up to a decent trailer. Off to Jaguar at Halewood to collect a full load of plastic containers. 20 mins later the Bluetooth interrupts my sing a long with Coldplay. Gaffer turns me around to collect a load from Warrington instead and take said load to York. Nice day me thinks. WRONG. Gets to my drop and there are 3 artics waiting to be tipped. [zb]!!! Eventually get loaded and then a bulk tipper blocks my exit and connects up to the silo. “Sorry pal im booked in and gonna be an hour or so.” [zb] again!!! Finally he clears off and reveals the tightest turn ive ever seen. TURTLES HEAD TIME AGAIN. Just managed it and the bulk driver points to the lack of guttering " You did well there pal,a driver yesterday ragged the guttering off! " EEK!! Turtle banished back to the intestine and ready to rock tomorrow. Don’t know who took yesterdays ■■■ trailer!! Crap job for somebody…im going now.

could be worse i went to Asda cdc in Lutterworth on my way back up from Bedford. Got sent away from gate house as i didn’t have any paperwork. Miserable old arrogant guy in theretold me to get off premises :laughing: phoned our guys up and as i was turning round and coming back out he waves me down to come back in. I then had to queue behind another 2 wagons that was behind me in the first place. Then got sent round to goods in office who didnt have a clue and sent me to bottom off yard to where pallets are. The yard boy on forks didnt know which pallets i was collecting so had to go back to goods in who then phoned the company who we was doing the work for. Right bunch of muppets there lol. Had a few chats with drivers who were being unloaded all they said was that they hate it going to Asda :grimacing:
