Now i have stopped laughing… I could just see me ringing the boss… Hi boss that fridge trl you have asked me to pick up i have got a problem… i cannot get the red air line on … can you send out a fitter sorry technical engineer to sort the problem out !!! the answer yes mate you just sit in the cab and keep warm, and remember to keep your door locked mate just in case someone try s to rob you … my boss is good like that lol any comments

Well yes it is true that she had to call Scania out to put her red airline on, but then on the other hand I wouldn’t crawl over her to get to you. :wink:

lol maybe not but then i would not have been there … i would have got my air line on and got up the road to collect my next load lol

It wouldn’t be the first time I’ve had to ask another driver to put the red on for me! I did have a twingey back at the time though and was giving me a lot of grief. Nothing wrong with it imho as they can be really hard work on some truck/trailer combos, esp fridges and 45ft boxes on a 40ft skelly.

She didn’t say the fitter came out just because she couldn’t get the line on. She said it’s the most difficult to get on, which is probably true given the side she is coupling from and under the fridge motor, and she said she once had to get a fitter out because of a problem with it, she didn’t say the problem was that she just couldn’t get it on.

we can see where you are going with that one lol … she will not give you her number …

I wouldn’t want her number thank you, she did nothing for me from the moment I saw the pink car, bag and hair band.

I was merely pointing out that you didn’t listen to what was said and jumped to a conclusion, which is pretty common in this industry when we don’t like to let the facts get in the :stuck_out_tongue: way of a good old bit of BS. :wink:

that had to be the cleanest, grease free fifth wheel and dog clip i’ve ever seen :smiley:

Hi all… I’ve braved it and come back on here. Thought it went well bit weird seeing yourself on tv but your comments on me was as far as I seen good and was nervous ( hand shakin again) about the response. Im back on your tv in a couple of weeks I think until then I will probably get moaned at for all the smellys in my window…
It’s so hard tryin to do ur job without your bad habits easy for half hour but with a film crew with u for near on two weeks we do forget… Sorry for wifes or lady drivers on here called Hilda or Edith first names that came to my head

yes they can be hard … very hard … thats why you have to split couple when you have a fridge or close couple trl… or you can just pump the air out and that drop’s the pressure and make’s it easy to get the lines on …but health and safety say’s you must not do anything that may cause you harm GOD help us

To be honest… I think you came across far better than those last week, but can you next time instead of bleeping out the swear words or saying " F word" say [ZB} if Eddie can get free advertising dont see why we shouldnt catch a free ride :grimacing: :grimacing: :grimacing:

I seem to recall it was those called Hilary and Edith you insulted, thought you would have remembered Hilary as it was your Nan’s name. :wink: :stuck_out_tongue: :stuck_out_tongue: :stuck_out_tongue:

BTW, do the cab curtains on your new truck open all the way? The ones on your old truck seemed to be broken. :stuck_out_tongue: :stuck_out_tongue: :stuck_out_tongue:

You did well, it was good telly, and that’s some praise coming from me. :open_mouth: Far better than the repeated TICKING TIME BOMB last week. :laughing: :laughing: :unamused: :unamused: .

Not sure about your cab being filled with the entire contents of your local Pound Shop and having the curtains pulled across 80% of the side windows when you’re driving to look “cool” is another of my whinges, but I’m feeling in a particularly good mood tonight so I’ll let you off with that one this time!

I thought it was a nice touch them naming your new truck after your youngest, was that a genuine suprise :question:
How do you see out of that window with the curtain half closed :laughing:
