1= Pretend that you like it there, they do not like anyone having fun and enjoying themself.
2= Get the cooker out and start doing a meal or start to prepare a meal, they wait to watch you do this to annoy you when the food is warm and ready to eat they will call you over to tip you and will not wait until you have finished eating.
3= Give them your mobile number, get the bike out of the cab/trailer and tell them to call you when you are an hour from being empty, they do not like you leaving site.( For a handball 5 to 6 hour container tip!!!)
4= Tell them you are popping down the super market for the weekly shop.
5= In the summer, ask the goods in clerk where you can catch the bus to the beach.
6= Say you are going down town to book the holiday and do some banking, you have a life outside their RDC
Many years ago had to tip in Milan a full load of leather jackets. The factory was the usual type in Italy with huge electric gates to gain entry for security. After leaving the customs at 2.30pm & being guaranteed a tip for 3.30 they told me tomorrow morning on arrival, so pulled outside the gates & dropped the tilt. Before pulling away they came running out explaining how dangerous the area is & cannot leave leather jackets unattended they would all go missing by morning. Tough was my response before bouncing off solo! Stopped around the corner & walked back to watch them from a distance unload the whole trailer from the street into their warehouse! Once finished i drove back round-hooked up & buggered off!
That is the way to do to do it, after handing in the CMR and invoices at TER TIR and Alverca customs in Porto and Lisbon i would drop the trailer and park bob tail at the nearest beach, those were the good days, soon as the customs stopped any muppet could do the job.
Tell them in the Uk to bang the cab door when tipped, it is nice to to be paid to have a snooze in the afternoon, in Spain they call it a siesta, shops shut there for 3 to 4 hours due to the extreme summer heat, they go home to have a proper meal and sleep.
None of this Uk thing of cheap white bread sarnies on a 15 to 20 minute lunch break, and ■■■■ security guards banning you from site and put on a life ban forever, what the hell is that all about.?
Open up one side, undo straps on that side, get a run up, turn steering wheel in opposite direction to the side you’ve opened, forge signature on POD, job done.
Don’t rush lads, Take your time.
It confuses the [zb] out of them. (Throw a fake ball for a springer spanial). The RDC staff do the same thing, Round and round in circles, A bit of jumping about, They then come back with an excited but confused look. Bless em.

Just put it on break 5 minutes into your break when you’re starting to getsettled and eating your sandwiches the pricks shout you, guaranteed soon as you change mode… its like they can hear it.
That wee fanny at edwards aberdeen loves tormenting drivers, someone is going to kick his head in one day.

A coworker told me how to get loaded fast. He went to this factory in Spain, it was closing time and “manana”. So the next morning when they open the gates, he starts to back up to the ramp when suddenly this young guy runs up to his truck and explains his situation: " I load first, I sleep with the boss!"
12 - If they say “It’s gonna be a couple of hours mate cos I’ve got a move 1 pallet before I can do you” (despite the fact you have arrived bang on your booking time for which ‘their’ company specified they would like you to arrive at so they are ready for you) then you should just say “No probs, I’m paid by the hour and on overtime rate now so wake me up when you’re ready”, this has a magical effect that see’s them somehow find the time to unload you quickly.
Or when they say “just going on break” my empty tea mug appears and “put us a brew in there while ya at it will ya, ta ■■■■, tea, drop o milk! So by the time you’ve done that, I’ll have it ready for ya to tek off after ya brew! I got loaf o bread in the cab, can I use the toaster in your brew room? Better still, what about a proper canteen?”
wake us up when you’re ready! 
thats worked several times in the past
