Now I think your either making it up or a complete idiot.
50/50 on that one I reckon , although I’m edging towards the latter despite what I’ve already said on this.

well dozy has been getting away with exactly the same pish for a while now…
just a copycat mirror poster.
there always is that 1% chance that someone could be such a complete zoomer though with todas generation of kebeb meat in a seat.
thw worst part is that others reply assuming their post is genuine ,dont they ever read back past the last post?

They refused recovery and gave me a defect code. Apparently this means if I were stopped by dvsa my license is protected. I contacted my agency and they said drive.
Now sitting waiting for a forklift driver as the taillift doesbt work. Glad I’m paid by hour.
If you honestly believe your licence is protected by a ‘defect’ code your either unbelievably naive or gullible.
I’ll tell you now, if DVSA stop you and you give them that code and explain how you got it, you WILL be done as you admit prior knowledge of a seriously defective vehicles being used by YOU on a public road. End of!
Park the ■■■■ thing up and tell them to come fix/ recover as your not moving it any further no matter what they say ffs!!
Like the rest I’m considering where you fit into this tale of woe! And I’m one who offered to help at very beginning of your career?
Ask ANY other driver at whatever place your delivering and they’ll say same - park up and don’t move

Im back at yard. I don’t want to drive for them now. They flat out refused both me and the agency guy recovery. I didn’t know what to do.
The second truck is another nail. I have photos for later. I really would rather just give home and watch rugby. I’m sick of this. It’s a [zb] job.
When you get home phone dvsa and drop from in it

Will I get in trouble?
Honestly people can have have a go. But when you are 70 miles from where you no and you’re told recovery is too expensive what do you do?
I’ve had security kicking off with me because i couldnt get out of cab or it would give through his barrier. And I’m sick of this. Now sitting in a 14 year old daf waiting for a forklifts driver.

They won’t book you again but is that a loss?
You hear about an accident in bath because a truck had defective brakes. People died and thats prison time.
As said you sit and wait. Failing that you call a taxi and tell the company you will be billing them. Any arguments you will be informing dvsa they won’t recover a defective vehicle.

No idea to be honest.But he did disappear then suddenly all these fictitious waffles turned up .
I kind of like his posts …
Evil did some good posts that would have been helpful, especially to Newbies. I seem to remember a long one about the dos and donts of a night shift at a hub. Not something Ive ever done, and quite enlightening.
The trolls are largely space fillers, contributing very little.

For a PhD student your spelling is pants.
Having been to university as a mature student a few years ago I can confirm that he isn’t on his own. It got to the point a few years ago that businesses have been complaining that graduates are leaving universities with degrees but functionally illiterate and innumerate.
The study, which looks at literacy and numeracy skills in England, concludes that 7% of 20 to 34-year-old graduates in England have numeracy skills below level two, while 3.4% have literacy skills below this level - meaning that they struggle to estimate how much petrol is left in a tank from looking at the gauge, or have difficulty understanding instructions on an aspirin bottle.
Yes it is that bad.
I went to additional maths workshops when I started as I was doing a BEng degree with a lot of high end maths and in truck driving there isn’t much call for having to calculate quadratic equations so although I’d done it before it hadn’t been for quite a while and I was a bit rusty. I didn’t expect to end up teaching 18 year olds who’d just passed their A levels 4 months previously how to do long division which I learned to do in primary school and which I reckon the majority of posters on this board could manage to do.
