Criticise every “real” driver. By which I mean one that actually leaves the yard.

work in the warehouse getting the same money, same benfits and less hassle and also have a blatant dislike for “proper” truckers…

I am currently a shunter and have been for 7months. I took the job as I’ve been out the game for a while so thought it a good way to get my eye in as my last job of ten years came to an end.
I do find it boring but the flip side is out on the rd there is so much legislation that I feel I wont enjoy it on the rd

Whats a typical shunter btw, cos I hope im not typical

5

Wear gloves whilst driving.

6

Watch out for knob sack drivers that damage trailers, and not tell anyone so when you pick it up you get the blame :imp:

7

Speed around the site in all directions with no lights on trailer, doors open etc.
Bollock all other drivers for speeding, not having hazard lights on and having doors open when moving.
Blame all damage on driver that dropped it beforehand.

Or wear a hi viz jacket that is so soaked in grease that it ceases to be of any use as it was intended.

12

forget how to drive and sit near the gates and get all the incoming to do your work

13

Be unusual and learn to say ‘sir’ instead of ‘drive’, that’ll help.

14

And keep beeping the horn in at random times and at random things

15

Tear around the yard at night with no lights on because the suzy is just out of reach

16

All of the above… :smiley:

17

try not to get angry,when a drver has applied the trailer brake :grimacing:

18

Haven’t you gotta have tommy t sauce down your top :s or is that just tippers job

19

Wear shorts no matter what the weather

20

Dump all the air out of your tug and drop the trailer so low that no other farker can get under it without classes in bloody Limbo, not to forget of course dumping the trailers hard and fast to shag the legs so nobody can wind them any more without having arms the size of Mike Tyson
