I've developed a limp

…well I’m now working for an agency for better money than I was full time :wink:
And I use a Sainsburys bag not Lidl :wink:

Do you have a crisp new hi-viz as well?

Bluetooth earpiece■■? :sunglasses: :sunglasses:

Nice one.
Nowt wrong with agency, especially coming into silly season when RDC’s are so full of limpers its like a zombie apocalypse.

Nope, no crisp clean new hivis (my old one from Premeir Logistics), no Bluetooth either, and after 3 days I’ve been offered full time with them already :open_mouth: :laughing:

I have the bluetooth earpiece, but my hi vis is kept clean and I don’t have a limp. Also have a proper bag too, as way too much stuff for a carrier bag to ever cope with… OK I’m not a career agency driver and to be honest not that fond of trucks either. :confused:

Their hi viz will be full of graphite grease due to all the trailer changes that they do each day, that and the way that the limper before you has allowed the Suzie’s to become a tangled mess, as well as them not lowering the height of the tractor when getting under the trailers, all that grease is just scraped off the 5th wheel onto the lip which is just under where the Suzie’s plugin/couple up on the trailer, then you end up wearing it, i used to always split couple where possible when pulling fridges , even if the jobs worth’s with all their elf & safety bs didn’t approve, if they aren’t supplying uniform or hi viz it was tough as i weren’t getting grease on my clothes

I did 12mths on agency , was too offered a full time job by the RDC i worked from, but tbh i couldn’t do trolley dolly work long term , i hate driving in this country as well ,it’s tolerable in small doses like a few days here and there

If you go onto page 151 of the “pictures of your truck” thread :wink:

True story now.

My mate’s wife just posted a picture on facebook of my mate (who is an agency driver) at home with his baby daughter… and he’s still wearing his high-vis vest. I [zb] you not.

Oh how I laughed.

:lol::lol:, someone should buy you a pint[emoji16]

I had a limp, never had a blue tooth tusk, had crisp new hi viz but now I am full time I have a dirty hi viz waiting for company to replace. The limp has gone and I had lost the grumpiness!

How much equipment have you damaged?

None

don’t forget the ‘castrol’ shampoo :stuck_out_tongue:

I have a limp due to a botched hip replacement, does this mean I qualify for agency work…I only ask as I may need to call on em soon :smiley:

Yep your good to go. If your not stuck walking round in circles then the moment you enter the agency office someone will ask which agency you are also working for.

To be certain though I would stick a non functioning bluetooth earpiece on and pretend your having a conversation on it.

On the off chance you really have suffered a dodgy hip op (ironically performed by an agency surgeon) hope you are sueing the buggers. Unless the agency look was what you where going for.
