I’m loading at Tata thrybergh.
I arrived at 10 thismorning.
From 10 to 2 pm they managed to load two trailers.
Anyway I revered in at 2:15 and I then have to wait in the drivers pen!
So far I’ve been stood here for an hour
And it’s kin cold!
So. All you lot sat in a nice warm waiting room.
You’ve never had it so good.
Try any of the following suggestions: Get back in the cab, Take your hi vis off, Take off your hard hat, You’ll see how fast they can move. 
Not too much “duty of care” for your “health and safety”, they have a legal obligation to keep you warm and comfortable at the very least, can`t see how that “pen” fits the bill ■■?
Im on a course tomorrow, and, the above are two of the topics we will be discussing apparantly, Ill bring this up 
You wouldn’t have been cold if you had used a tilt and had to strip it, so Carryfast was correct

It looks like a tilt 
This isn’t the first time our Indian friends at ‘Tata’ have been the subject of basic human rights / facilities for drivers is it ?

Sliding roof curtain
Takes 15 seconds to open
Tilt takes an hour to open 
Try Howden dock - youve got to wear a hard hat and the drivers waiting area is a small open fronted shed outside
how about the safety cage(s) at chep pallets

Not used anymore, they make you stay in the cab now.

thats ok until you get back to your yard and realise you forgot to get your keys back! 
Tata policy now, you sit in the pen where the loader can see you or you dont get loaded, at least up here at Lackenby the pen has 2 wall heaters which will melt your hard hat if you get too close and a free coffee machine and toilets to hand

Well,that wasn’t too bad 10am through to 3:45 pm to load 7 bundles of steel bar.
Tbh it’s not usually that bad,but what ■■■■■■ me off was that once I was in position to load I was sent to the holding pen and told to wait.
Normally this is not a problem, as it is not long and you are loaded, but today,they were moving product from one end of the shed to the other,so I had to stand/sit on manky plastic chair for over an hour.
You may think it would make sense to sit in the cab for the 45 minutes that I was waiting for loading to start, and it would!
But if I was to suggest this the response would be NO!WE HAVE STARTED LOADING YOU,WAIT IN THERE DRIVER.
you see,there are rules,and they MUST be obeyed.
On the subject of drivers waiting pens,at the plasterboard plant near Newark they call there’s the drivers enclosure.
I am amused and annoyed in equal amounts over that one.
Although my kids do refer to me as the silverback,so maybe I’m just over sensitive.
Health and safety my arse.
it’s a euroliner. 
TTX boy:
it’s a euroliner.
Hmmm.
Does that mean I’m a euroTRUCKER?
V door by any chance lol we work out of there full time…
I once delivered to USAF at Lakenheath. At the security pound, you were invited to leave your cab & stand behind the yellow line while your cab was searched, swabbed etc.
I was standing behind the line, when the young (very young…I’ve guessed about 12!) American soldier swung his automatic and very very nasty looking automatic machine gun in my direction. I gulped and asked him if it was loaded. He smiled, and said “yes sir it is loaded, please do not worry”
I stood there, very still and worried my underpants!
