Friday 13th

animal:
Friday 13 was a bad day for me as well

Lost job as was told cant go in to main depot we load from due to some people in there back stabbing & sending a message saying for me to go in somewhere only staff are allowed ( told them I couldnt & wouldnt as was banned from that area ) so damed if I do damed if I dont think I have al the daggers out of my back now

A few other things went wrong but hey that is life

So now looking for another job

Join the club mate. People, there’s nothing worse, I gave up busses so I could deal with less of them, seemed for every 100 people I dealt with on the busses, 10 were nobs, arses or worse. In trucking, seems like late 80’s out of every hundred, and more if you include management. :imp:

Some crap days there but lets face it none as bad as the Captain of the Costa Concordia. Imagine being ultimately responsible for that pickle.

I was booked on it but I got delayed by a police checkpoint so just missed it by minutes.

Wayne, the first part of my last post was directed to coffee not to you, me being vague again.

Zwölf-Tonnen-Ladung: Lkw-Fahrer merkt Anhänger-Verlust nach 40 Kilometern - WELT

Anyone know German that can translate the contents of that article?

My guess is that he lost his trailer and didn’t realise until 40KM up the road.
.

Driver didnt notice that he lost his Trailer

Basically, the extension bar at the end of the A frame ruptured and the drag, loaded with 12 tons of steel tubing, said bye bye on the Autobahn. The driver only noticed 40 kms later. (WTF :exclamation: )
Luckily, the trailer came to a safe halt on the hard shoulder due to the brakes automatically activating and nobody was injured.

@ Lovlyperson: Austrian truck :wink:

My Friday 13th was fine, apart from being given an automatic Plaxton Cheetah to drive… :smiling_imp: :smiling_imp:

We used to call them Cheddars (after a chinese driver mispronounced it and we found it suited the aweful sheds)
