Nah, that’s not going to happen when he has Google available at the click of a button.After all, for someone who has achieved so little in this industry boy does he think he knows a lot.
If we can believe the hype about Chat GPT then soon CF will be right about everything.

You seem to have missed my previous admission that ( to an extent ) technology has moved on since the 1980’s in terms of crane lifting systems and methods.
A workman blaming his tools is the opposite of an admission
Carryfast:
It’s still crap work though regardless
No it isn’t
Carryfast:
which is why agencies are full of it
No they aren’t
Carryfast:
generally with no 'experience hurdles
Absolute rowlocks, you really are never, ever, wrong are you?
Carryfast:
I was a truck driver not a scaffolder or building site labourer.
Incorrect, you were whatever the employer of that particular job deemed it to be. If that meant you got involved with scaffolding or crane work then that’s what it is.
Only you seem to think that as the holder of an HGV license it means you are exempt and should never do anything but sit behind the wheel within your job role. And if you don’t like that sort of work then FFS DON’T do it, there’s enough variety of work out there to suit everyone! It’s like a vegan getting a job in an abbatoir then complaining they have to kill animals as part of their job!

On my courses I regularly have guests with relevant industry experience to talk to us and answer our questions. Come on Carry, an intellectual colossus such as you you create so much demand.

He didn’t want to do work of any kind. He only wanted to sit in the truck from start to finish, playing truck drivers. It’s about time he grew up, but probably too late.
I can’t decide if he’s a space cadet or a wind up merchant.
I have visions of an arrogant, bitter, fat elderly bloke, living in his late parents’ house, who has never contributed anything to society. Spoilt as an only child, thinking he’s entitled, with a severe allergy to any physical activity.
Only an opinion, I could be wrong.

He is more than likely a nice guy, no offence to him but I visualise him as a fat bloke with a comb over sat over his old style 90s computer.
Anybody remember the bloke that Jennifer Saunders dressed up as with Dawn French…Carryfast to a tee in ‘Robworld’. 
No offence CF mate , I’m sure you’ve got a sense of humour.
Hey…Great idea for a thread…how do you imagine certain members on here to look like.
Sploom…A bit like Derek Nimmo on ‘Oh Brother’ from the 70s.(google it)
Winseer…Charles Hawtrey from the ‘Carry on’ films.

It really doesn’t take a DCPC to know that local building materials deliveries is crap work of the lowest order.
Few if any drivers enter the industry with the intention of spending their career driving round the local housing estates multi dropping building materials and working as a site or depot labourer to compensate for the lack of miles in the job .Admittedly with less chance now of a collapsing pile of bricks falling from a HIAB than in my day.My advice would be avoid it bearing in mind most drivers clearly don’t need to be told with desperate agencies full of such unwanted work usually laughably playing the experience card to lure naive new hopefuls.Nothing wrong with a healthy dose of cynicism and scepticism, regarding the reality of the degenerate UK road transport sector and what it too often has to offer those entering it.
How difficult can it be to just ask the question how many here entered the industry specifically to do such work v the attraction of the open road on the basis of the further the better.
As for night trunking given the right work ( now degenerating like all the rest ) a decent run, at this time of the year, can be as good as UK work gets.But it wrecks your body clock and with it home life and winter time can be brutal.

Why is it miles that matters? I would think any job well done would have its attraction.
Trunking along the motorway at night seeing bugger all, delivering to an RDC or delivering to individuals desperate for what you’re bringing them, using a f off big grabber out of the arcades and driving a challenging route. At least it’s got to be a step above working in bin juice all day.

It’s about time you realised the industry does not exist as an outlet for you to pretent to be a truck driver. It exists to provide service for profit, in most cases. Do you even hold a heavy vehicle licence?
If you hadn’t been such a bone idle princess, you would have been given a crack.

I used to find that winter was better in the fact I would be home and going to sleep before daybreak much more often, Once the sun is up getting to sleep after work was harder.

As someone along with many/most others who defines the job by the opening title scenes of the movies Il Bestione or Convoy I’d suggest you’re the one who’s talking rowlocks.
Ironically that’s actually a closer approximation of night trunking between May to July.
Than day work at 7-9 am and 3pm-6pm in the bleak mid winter.Let alone that stuck in a street lit urban environment.
If driving around the local Greater London housing estates working mostly as a crane operator and site or depot labourer is really your thing good luck with that.

Give it away Carryfast, experienced truck drivers can detect BS at 20,000 kilometres. Every word you type screams BS, off the page.
Truck driving is not for everyone, you’d be at the head of that list. Truck driving requires problem solving skills, flexibility, a good work effort and determination amongst other attributes. You have displayed none of the listed qualities, no wonder you failed so comprehensively. It’s simply not for you, despite your imagined expertise.

Ah so that’s it then…….you’re the very definition of a dreamer, which most companies run a mile from. Finally an answer

How is the fact that an 8pm to 6am UK night trunk, in mid Summer, is mostly all in daylight, BS in your view.
Or the understandable fact that as a truck driver I had no interest in working as a site or depot or warehouse labourer.
Or spending my career driving around the local houses.
Let alone the irony that most of your supposed ‘experienced’ drivers would run not walk away from the offer of such crap work and playing the experience card to get and reserve the best distance work for themselves.
Seems to me that a lot of those don’t like it when someone tells it like it is in that regard obviously giving new drivers a heads up as to the scam and don’t get fooled by their start on crap work to get ‘experience’ narrative.
Or if not obviously desperate employers trying to fill their crap unwanted vacancies.
Carryfast. Why do you always assume that everyone has the same aspirations as you…?
Aspirations and fantasies are two totally different things Lucy. At least one of them would have required actual work.
