The reason why I am asking is as a news editor I have noticed that when a theft from a load is reported it has a massive amounts of hits!
So come on who knows a friend of a friend who has helped themselves? 
Stories are most welcome 
Or maybe it is true were all whiter than white when it comes to a box of something we all like!
Come on I wont tell
There have been times when I was VERY temptedâŚ
Usually a hot day, sat outside an RDC in a massive queue, been there for hours, and 4 or 5 pallets of beer on the backâŚ
Never succumbed yet thoâŚ
Had a couple of Mars bars once when i was delivering to shops⌠
other than that been tempted but never done it again.
never pinched anything just lifted the freebies that fell of the back of the t**** 
Only when the additional items were left over having being put on by incompetent loaders
Canât name the company but I was sent out with my vehicle onto another contract in the height of summer a few years ago delivering to Homebase and B&Q Etc, there were 2 electrical items left over after the deliveries had all been completed and signed for so I thought bugger it, the wages were low the graft was hard and I looked upon it as a bonus 
while working for CITY we used to have a contract in mexborough, (major manufacturer,) and the amount of stuff on the load that there was no paper work for was unreal.silly burgers. 
I used to get all the âfreebiesâ when I worked for City also Terry. Some weeks I would get home with bearly enough room to carry it all.
Other than the freebies, I remember running out of diesel with a â â â â â â â engine and having to drain 50gallons off of my tanker trailer which just so happened to be carrying a full load of diesel at the time. Customer never missed it and the company I worked for at the time thought I should do this every day to save them money anywayâŚ!!

Never, not unless you count sharing a few cans with annother driver from his load.
The delivery point had the forkie from hell, who insisted on unloadfing every rigid (7.5 ton & up), that âonly had a pallet or twoâ for them so having got totally zbâed off we evened things up by removing a few cans from every pallet we could & then shared tham between us after he had signed for them.
A couple of other problems may also have been noticed following our departure, but bordom is a terrible thing.
quite simple.NO.
Itâs not really pinching . . . but working in the world of vehicle recovery does bring its rewards.
So far this year weâve had apples, grapes, strawberries, tomatoâs and the absolute ultimate of ice cream Mars Bars.
Mostly from roll over casualties and weâd only take a box or two of what canât be realistically salvaged from the load, quite often with the OK from whoever owns the load.
Itâs a great perk especially when youâve just handballed the lot off the trailor and carried it up a steep embankment.
After a lot of thought, I just dont know! Ive done god knows how many loads, but Im buggered if I can remember if Ive nicked from one or not!

USED to be called PERKS of the job davey m8âŚ
not worth it,my police record is clean i only polished it last week.
OK itâs my turn! 
I did a delivery once to a nameless Council, I was in a Artic and had to deliver 3 pallets, now we had a no self tip policy, when I got there, they had no fork lift so I showed them a standard letter we had stating it was company policy for the drivers not to touch any part of the pallets!
The council were desperate for this stuff and told me to drive to the stores and the guys in the store room would hand ball it all, when I got there the store men were short handed and asked me to help, well as a nice guy I am, I of course get on the wagon and split the load and passed down the resulting boxes!
All done I got my POD signed and off I went
Next drop I notices 5 boxes behind the pallet I was delivering I opened a box and found nice new steel cap boots (it must have been my lucky day because they were all size 11)
I still have 3 new pair of size 11s in my garage
Never nicked off a load I was driving, but I remember when I was a lad. It was summer holidays from school and the Barrs Lemonade Lorry slowly tipped over onto the grass verge outside the main park in the village. Hundreds of kids swarmed over the thing, it was like a plague of locusts. I ended up with six bottles of scoosh (as we called it), nectar on a hot summers day, not to mention the 3d back on each of the bottles(millionaire for a day)

bringing back memories thereâŚlol wonder what happend to themâŚ
Not off one of my loads, but a warehouse I was running out of moved sight and I had six boxes of Mini Eggs that theyâd âlostâ in the move. Donât know why, 'cause I STILL DONâT EAT CHOCOLATE .
I do get freebies from work - bags of crisps and very cheap crisps, so itâs not worth it (I guess thatâs why they do it 
).
When I did evening work on fridges - we used to spend a lot of time transshipping loads between trailers and it seemed the donuts and icecreams seemed to go missing out of the middle of the loads on hot and busy nights!!!
Not even a single StrawberryâŚ
Itâs not worth it⌠Besides I couldnât be considered a professional driver if I helped myself to the load, which is something I take pride inâŚ
NOW⌠When I worked for the MOD, that was a different kettle of fish⌠Stores was seen as a âperkâ of the job⌠EVERYONE had something away, thatâs just how it was⌠!!! But it seemed different, cuz you knew YOUR tax had paid for itâŚ

Never taken owt I wasnât allowed to. British Bakeries were good for freebies. Basically you could have anything that was baked âextraâ. Bread, cakes, rolls, buns, snowballs⌠But the hours sucked.
