how many drivers was "sacked"from company where you work in last years???for what reason??
Last company i was with for 6months, only small maybe 50 drivers tops, 4 people sacked, 3 drivers and a fitter, probably had more sackings but those are the ones i know of.
14 poles got sack last year
or should have
9 Poles and IIRC 3 Brits got the sack from Stobs Newark last year for nicking Derv, dumb ■■■ thing to do IMHO.
The thieving poles ended up working at Norbies instead, where they probably remain, making a little extra on the side, not sure what happened to the Brits.

Considering the recent news about Newark, it’s possible they weren’t so dumb. At least they got some free diesel.

Orifice will be allong soon proving you are a liar. The Poles were caught with full jerry cans and they were actually about to give Stobarts free diesel when caught!
I’m a london bus driver.
Last year I reckon about 6 drivers were sacked from my depot, most for using mobile phone in cab when the bus is parked on a stand, empty and engine off, it’s against the rules to do this, all were caught by cctv.
For every driver they sack, 10 are waiting to join, and at a lower fixed rate.

They still work there with us Mark. We all know who they are, Nobbies know who they are, but nobody seems to care.
You cannot get sacked from my company. Last year a driver was done for drink driving…1 year ban + fine. They kept him on as a driver’s mate/porter!
When i was working for Acumen, they sacked a driver (an ex owner driver) for stealing fuel. I’ve see them sacked for carrying bottles of Vodka and swigging them all day (UK driver BTW) who couldn’t stand up straight. I was tipping a place with one of our drivers and we where there a good few hours. He had a kip on the bunk etc… when he was tipped, he stood legs apart and said to me “i’m pulling in that layby down the road for me hour. ■■■■ them” He was sacked before i got back
1 driver left cus the boss didnt like him and other drivers left cus they didnt like the boss
Several, all of which should have had the sense to see it coming and jack in instead.
One for fighting with another on the yard. One for driving a tracker-equipped van at 85mph in a 50 limit and crashing it into a car. One for reversing into a post and repeatedly denying it even though he had done it beneath a CCTV camera. Plus some others for repeatedly upsetting customers and others with an aversion to turning up for work at all/on time. One of the latter has found work with the local bus firm…
During the last 20 years, many I guess, this is the one I’ll always remember:
Gaffer reaches driver after two days of the phone been switched off at the Poland-Ukraine border at Dorohusk:
Gaffer - So what’s going on, why weren’t you in Kiev the day before yesterday?
Driver - Sorry boss, I was waiting in the queue. There was a loaded tanker before me, suddenly a helicopter crashed into it, fiery inferno, the whole border crossing burned down and I couldn’t get through!
Cheap vodka and cheaper women more like it

How did they know?
In the five years I’ve been at my place, 3 drivers have been sacked, 1 retired, and just 1 jacked it in (they booked a phone box for his leaving party )
Iv’e been with my firm since I retired 5 years ago, and there as been 2 sacked, one because he had to many bumps and the other 'cos he upset to many customers with his attitude, 2 got suspended for fighting but they got off with a bollocking and 3 weeks suspension.
Its pretty hard to get sacked as a trade plater 'cos not many want to do the job.

Sorry do disapoint you, Miss Porkie, but I don’t have any knowledge on that case, so I can’t say anything. But I suspect, that they were just thiefs, there are some in every nation. You think that this was what that 3 Britons were going to do?
