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.
Ah yes, that industry wide scam that had only ever effected you. Well, in a way, as you never actually did it tho did you? You just assumed that was what was going on, you didn’t have the balls to actually try. Thankfully I very much doubt new drivers listen to your nonsense any more than the rest of us. You’ve done one thing at least, turned the Carryfast name into a joke so that’s an achievement. Sort of.
Carryfast:
Or the understandable fact that as a truck driver I had no interest in working as a site or depot or warehouse labourer.
You are aware that 99% of truck drivers don’t work as those either aren’t you? And those that do are aware their job role entails that and are perfectly happy to do it.
Carryfast:
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.
Really don’t know why you struggled so much to get a job doing what you wanted, whenever I saw I job I fancied, I applied and more often than not got it. Just highlights how crap you obviously were as both a driver and an employee.
Also, why do you assume that “every” driver thinks that distance work is the best and that’s what “every” driver" aspires to? Personally I couldn’t think of anything more boring than sitting on a motorway for 9 hours a day.

Weren’t you aware of the “inner circle” that includes every driver in the UK who stopped Carryfast from achieving his dreams?

Must be an international scam, he couldn’t get into Australia, New Zealand or Canada.
Why would anyone want to take on a bone idle dreamer who ìs a liability, rather than an asset?

Ironically I had absolutely no problem at all in being offered ( Shanghaid into ) the type of crap work I’ve described by agencies flooded by it and definitely no experience pecking orders applied.
It’s always gone with the territory here especially the place is a big building site.
You continue to make some wierd accusations somehow conflating lack/refusal of opportunity in the industry, added to by local anomalies, wrecking the careers of the losers in the resulting lottery for decent work or what’s left of it in the degenerating UK scene
The winners protesting laughably too much combined with the outright liars stating that black is blue in that regard.To the point of laughably contradicting themselves by telling new drivers to take such crap to ‘get their experience’ and to be considered for anything better
New drivers don’t need any advice from me in that regard they are quite able to differentiate the type of work that totally defeats the object of why most want to drive a truck.
That’s why agencies are full of it.

So did you or did you not accept and do one of these jobs? Because if you didn’t how do you know that’s what they were like? If you took a job and were strung along for a period being promised Continental work that never materialised meaning you’ve real world evidence to point out what you say is true that would be something and I’d have sympathy, but from what you say you didn’t and just made assumptions. Your view of an entire segment of the industry seems to be completely based on a single job offer that you never actually accepted. Or have I got it wrong somewhere?

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.
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.
Just wondered if you missed this one, Carryfast. Do you hold a heavy vehicle licence?

Aren’t most of us part of that inner circle?
Or ‘The Entire Industry’ as I choose to call it. It’s a very exclusive group

Obviously speaking from your vast experience with all that crap above!
You surely are the most clueless and deluded individual in the industry. Actually beginning to think you could be trolling us after all (and you would be the best one ever on here with your act) because seriously no-one can be as crap, useless and have failed as spectacularly as you seemed to have done. Let’s not forget this is an industry that is not hard to get into - you need no academic qualifications, no people skills, no lengthy training, no previous experience. You only have to look at any news source on a daily basis to see how many monkeys are employed to drive an HGV. Hitting bridges, getting stuck in places they shouldn’t be, poor driving standards, playing with phones etc and yet despite all your protests you could not land a job doing what you wanted and all these incompetents somehow could!

Carryfast is not as stupid as some think.
Whilst hard-working men & women after a certain age start needing hip, knee & other joint replacements, CF is sat in his armchair laughing at us all.
Having never done a proper day’s work in his life his body only lacks for exercise, but never from wear & tear.
^^^ tortoises can live to in excess of 200 years old. You don’t see them at the gym or wearing Lycra and pedalling down the road. Maybe he is actually a genius?

Actually I think you’ll find picking up some boxes once at UPS crippled him. Have some sympathy FFS
Potentially, but only if the genius/idiot continuum is circular not linear: With the linear system he just falls off the scale, but with the circular model he goes so far in one direction he starts backing into the alternative cateory by default.
I will (seriously) give CF credit for being able to take a bit of stick without getting excessively unpleasant, but that could be just a spot of autism-spectrum. He’s not the looniest tune on these boards though.
