Drivers appearance

Bleached jeans
Superdry Check shirt
Super Hamptons
Scania Jacket
Standard “big trucker” uniform :laughing:

I see all the time scruff bags wearing worn out work boots covered in paint or cement.
The shoe laces are missing or not ■■■■■■■.
To add to the look, they wear dirty jogging trousers.

I find it amazing that a firm can put a tramp in charge of a truck that can cost £ 120,000 and a load worth millions ,depending what it is, mobile phone parts or computers.
The general public have a low perception of the haulage industry, their ignorance is astounding.
Councils have a negative view, have no knowledge of road transport and always support anti truck Nimbies.
There is a true yarn of a scruffy driver turning up for tea and biscuits with the Traffic Commissioner for a disciplinary meeting and possible loss of his licence.
He rolls up in cut off jean shorts and a Bob the Squarepants tee shirt.
He was promptly told to go home and return in suitable attire and was charged for wasting the TC,s time.
Does this ring any Bells with anyone,bit of a clue which TC it was, you don’t mess her around, unless you like life on benefits ?

COUGH BOLLOX :unamused:

Did he also run out of hours at (every) Tesco RDC and have the Police chalk his tyres and cone off 1 (or 2) bays either side of him so he wasn’t disturbed, and by the latest version, he also was given strict instructions to be fed by them and go to the front of any queue in the Canteen :open_mouth:

If you’re a driver, and you’re being interviewed for your conduct, sure the 1st impression might not be great if you rolled up like a scruff, and might possibly affect the outcome, but I don’t think you’d be sent home to change, it’s not afternoon tea, it’s a hearing.

Oh, and btw, she’s actually NOT that bad and the only people who hate her, either haven’t dealt with her or were seriously doing wrong things, she knows her ■■■■ and it can work in your favour as well as against.

Is that Beverly or Sarah then ?
Bob the Squarepants driver ,is on the rounds with all Dcpc instructors, and so is this one, you got to laugh or cry, here it is ;
" A driver was running down a local TC, he was swearing profusely about him outside the class room, before the course started.
The tutor knew the TC was attending the course and made several attempts to stop him gobbing off.
They all enter the class room, the TC is announced to everyone.
The look on the drivers face, as he was due a hearing with the TC sat in the class room.
A bit of creeping was done and buying coffees ."
Moral of the story, you never know who is on your course.

i take it then that i must be the only driver who has had a crap in the cab ?

compared to the old cafe bogs the cab was a safe bet to not get yer arse bitten or pick up crabs.

you drivers today are a spoiled bunch. i used to do coal deliveries years ago and be black as the ace of spades, we would still eat fish and chips with our hands covered in coal dust lol how did we ever survive ?

Now I take a different tack and think some of the poorly designed ‘corporate wear’ that some operators make their downtrodden employees wear creates a very poor impression. I mean, who thought that blue trousers would ever go with a red top. Other corporate wear is so badly designed or made, it would even make Primark customers wince.

I once stood between two black fellas at the urinals and had a glance down (as you do) and noticed one of them had a white member and the other had a black one. I remarked on it to them and one said to me “we’re not black fellas, we’re coal men, and he’s been home for lunch!”
