Found out last week why our company wont spec factory fitted fridges when ordering new motors.
We will get Leigonaires Disease 
This has come from high up in the command chain.
100% TRUE 
more likely tight arses
Who do you work for?
the yellow peril, sorry Drop it, Hide it, Lose itâŚ
he workâs for DHL if you hadnât guessed⌠
Assume youâre tramping.
For me along with a night heater a fridge is a virtual must have. I would be prepared to sort my own out if it was an older vehicle but considering itâs standard on some models Iâd expect any new lorry purchased for tramping to have one.

DHL = Donât Hurry Lads
Has any other company got so many variations of the title? Donât forget ; down hill logistics as well. 
We had factory fitted fridges and microwaves in our FHâs at DownHill Logistics, maybe your boss is spinning you a yarn Kindle.

What will steering wheel attendants whinge about next? Oh yeah 'course, no A/c.
Spare a thought for the many drivers who did the middle east in the 70âs in flat topped 4x2 units with 300hp if you were very lucky. Biggest concerns would be if the engine worked and if the trailer brakes were any good at all.
DHhelL seem a â â â â outfit to work for, no decent new motors, 52mph & now lads canât even have a fridgeâŚsmh 
But you got a 16 litre Scania V8 for Trans Europe Express, Canât have it all!
My mate is a postie and a millitant one at that. He hates all competition to Royal Mail and he calls DHL- Dont Handle Letters 
Has the DHL jokes
âREVISIT your youth of ringing doorbells and running away by becoming a DHL delivery driver.â

This is probably the most ridiculous argument that keeps cropping up on hereâŚevery time someone complains about the spec of their truck, someone pipes up with âback in the 70âs/80âs we were running to Africa in trucks with noâŚetc etcâ.
We get it. 40 yrs ago trucks were much more basicâŚkudos to the guys that did the job thenâŚBUTâŚwe are now 40 yrs further on, trucks are no longer basic, in the same way that cars are no longer basic. Things like A/C & electric windows are considered to be the standard, and in many cases employers have to specify NOT to have them as opposed to speccing trucks with them.
In summary, yes, trucking in the 70/80âs was less comfortable than it is nowâŚget over it.
Donât Have Long so tip me or iâm gone
jonboy

wasnât a horse and cart good enough for you
Youâre unlikely to catch Legionnaires Disease just 'cos you havenât a fridge fellaâŚ
Normally caught by breathing in infected water droplets from things like A/C systemsâŚbut unless you store a lot of water in the cab for ages and let it get rather warmâŚIâd say youâre more likely to get food poisoning TBHâŚ
Still agree though that if youâre tramping the â â â â â â â â should make sure a fridge is providedâŚ
I reckon that to get the O licence, hauliers should have to live in the wagons they provide for 2 weeks before passing them on to the driverâŚ
Youâd see an improvement then⌠
