So when I’m smoked on the M6 by a pimped up Swedish truck it could have a beaver at the wheel 
eagerbeaver:
Responsible for cleaning my own wagon Mule. Got all the jet wash/brushes etc in the yard.Job seems to be early starts and mainly trunking/trailer swaps. No more listening to the ex SAS
If you stay awake long enough to clean it, you aint working hard enough! My first Euro job (long time back) the Boss came in every Sunday morning to clean off any trucks there. At first I believed it when he said he cared about his drivers. Later on it seemed he wanted us rested enough so as we were fit for that nights boat out again.

Tried fitting in with all the big corporate crap, but the proper driver in me needs to surface. Fed up with microlise ■■■■■■■■ and paperwork turd.The firm I have signed the dotted line with have even said if I do o/t on a Sat or Sun, I can take my lad with me and teach him the ways of the chrome stack.
No more eco mode, no more fuel bonus. Just floor it…and get home/make the boat. Nice.
The fact that you were given somthing to sign and offered overtime means they are too corporate! Ain’t that right dieseldog?
they only way the tangs would get offered overtime would be if the pope ever added an extra day onto the week…

What ? To bring it up to a 9 day working week?
they only work on days ending in …Y
and for the paddy tangs…they dont drive them like they stole them…they drive them like their late for sunday mass.
The place that I am going to DD looks pretty relaxed. And they like dogs too (one running around in the office)

How long is this job gonna last I wonder? He`s looking at what is running around in the front office straight after doing some running around at the Xmas party? No helping some people.
Ahhh this thread is a nice trip down memory lane after also having a secret liason in my youth with the gaffers wife at a works jolly. Usual story, too much wine, giggles on the dance floor, flirting at the bar then a juicy ■■■■■■■■■ in the broom cupboard. I couldnt sit down for the rest of the evening.

Sounds like you’re going to be one HELL of a DRIVER 
Good luck in your new venture Eagerbeaver. And if it really is tang time you couldnt have chosen better!
If my work ever finished over here (unlikely) its where i’d move to… V8 time ,on the boat and back over here again… 
Cheers Andrew!
Just as a side note, as Juddian often points out, I got this new job by knocking on a door.
The job was not advertised and the company has moved a couple of drivers around slightly to form an opening for me, so I will make sure I do my best for them.
The dross is noticeably advertised prominently, but the better payers don’t seem to need to. I honestly believe that these TM’s really want to see you approaching THEM and putting some effort in.
Oh dear, the hairy beaver is snorting v8 diesel… Must get my curtains pleated
