What does it matter about a taco been in when your washing off on a sat morn. Honestly who gives a f##k!
not trying to be pedantic, but VOSA would give a F%&k if they found out 
Do shuttlespankers drivers put there tachos in when washing down on a saturday
would be nice to no
Well happy new year to most of you 
Ref: Tachoās and washing down all drivers leave there cards in until washed down and yes you must wash down at the end of every week as told at busy interview.
Wages are always displayed on adverts your choice if you want to work for the money or not.My choice if i want to employ you.The job doesnāt suit a lot of people and most of the time you can pick this up at the interview stage. Now Mr Hoss1960 as told at your interview which at the start i told you Saturdays are very busy and I would get interrupted by the phone or drivers and my attitude is as anybody that knows me will tell you is to the point and no [zb]. Which then brings me to the point that we tried to ring you to tell you that you did not get the job but the number you left did not ring and you did not call back we then wrote to you at address supplied we can do no more of which you failed to put in your original post. All applicants that do not get the position there details are destroyed because i will not be needing them again.
So if you would like to work for me and do come to a interview i will answer the phone if it rings i will speak to when spoken to by my drivers and i donāt employ [zb] or Dirty [zb]. Money is what it is, Job is what it is and wont change for you or your wife and if you canāt work hard you wont last. I run very good equipment well taxed, well Tyreād and well serviced ( every 4 weeks not like most ). So if your a good driver and clean we will get on great if you are not we wonāt so donāt come for the job, Remember i donāt make you take the pay or the job.

I reckon that cleared that up then 
its a glory boy outfit and he pays peanuts because hes only making peanuts himself pulling ferry trailers for a quid twenty a mile. no-one in their right mind would be even considering taking a job with them. and of course they have their tacho cards in whilst washing on saturday morning. yes, absolutely soā¦

Looking at a job ad from last year he pays Ā£450 to Ā£480 for a 48 hour week over 6 days now we all no about 48 hours working and 30 hours waiting but if it was 48 hours thatās Ā£10 per hour and 8 hours per day so good pay. If itās for max hours of 84 then itās only Ā£ 5.70 per hour. Not a job I would want
About 18 months ago I was offered a job trunking Hull to Aberdeen 4 days one week 6 next very good money but boss wanted drivers in at weekend to wash and polish trucks and help him with servicing so I turned him down itās heās truck if it needs cleaning fit it in my working week or do it yourself
Oa ?
You are just the sort of bloke I need pmsl
Oh and sometimes we wash our glory machines on a Friday but donāt tell anyone
Oh and we have Big V8ās so we must be running bent and have check shirts.
But please come and work for me you can take your truck to truckfest and pay me.
Grow some you keyboard warriors bring it on

Do shuttlespankers drivers put there tachos in when washing down on a saturday
I honestly canāt remember the last time I saw one of my drivers washing down on a saturday 
Oh yes, thatās why, itās because they usually do it on a Friday before they finish their working shift, if they canāt do it on a Friday, they do it during the week, digi tacho card in
I donāt know you, but, you are free to come to the yard and watch them if you wish, or even ask them, 2 of them are members on here
Hope this answers your question
donāt sit on the fence jobe , come out with what you mean , lol . when did drivers , er steering wheel attendants start whinging about hours and working out what you should be paying ? do the runs , draw the wages , job done . no wonder the no hopers are all scratching about for agency work .the transport industry isnāt and never was a 9 to 5 job , if you canāt stand the heat , stay out of the kitchen .

Just because you do dosenāt mean we do.

Hi Mr Jobby, whoās making assumptions now? 
Actually, I canāt remember the last time I washed a truckā¦
Just had a quick google, Iāve seen enough lights to make me think Iām not missing muchā¦

Great post!!
I would love to work for someone like you JOBE, it makes a refreshing change to listen to someone who tells it like it is and not have to listen to the corporate ā ā ā ā ā that I have to. Iām promised the earth and given sweet [zb] all and wouldnāt trust my management team as far as I could spit. At least people know where they stand with you.
And for those of you who donāt seem happy with what youāve gotā¦I got made redundant from the best job Iāve ever had (Woodsides Haulage, Preston) and really miss being on the road so, for me, spending 2 hours on a Saturday morning washing my wagon would be a small price to pay to have the only job Iāve ever wanted to do (lorry driving) back. Iām still driving to a fashion (heavy plant, ro-ro trucks etc.) but only around the waste plant I now work in and, ok, I earned Ā£30k last year for working 8 hour shifts Monday to Friday + overtime but I am constantly monitored by the 140 cctv cameras we have around the site, constantly told how to drive and operate machinery by managers/supervisors who arenāt even qualified to do my job and have the threat of disciplinary action hanging over me at the first sign of any slight bump, scrape or bang. So if youāre one of those on here who whinge and moan about working over Christmas/New Year/Bank Holidays etc. just take a step back and realise what youāve got because I know what Iād rather do. There are bigger things to worry about out there and I would swap you jobs in a heartbeat!!
My head hurts nowā¦Iām off for a beer. Happy New Year

Well said.
JOBE.
You sound like my ideal employer.
From your post I get that you want:
A bloke who turns up when heās told
who doesnāt crash
who takes pride in his job
Who takes pride in your lorry
Who does as heās ā ā ā ā ā ā ā told.
Who thinks for himself.
Who gets the job done
Who doesnāt ring in every five minutes and just gets it sorted
In return said bloke gets
Wages
A complete absence of bull ā ā ā ā .
Kit that works and it kept up exactly as it should be.
A job for more than 5 minutes as long as you meet the above criteria
A complete absence of ā ā ā ā wits in the yard. No moaners, no dummy spitters and teddy throwers.
It sounds like a place Iād work if I was looking.
I donāt understand the attitude of I want a million quid a week for half an hours driving and I want to do that between 11 and 1130.
The haulage industry is in ā ā ā ā order because itās populated by lazy tired ā ā ā ā ā with tickets on themselves.
Knuckle down. Get the ā ā ā ā ā ā ā job done and take your wages belt up moaning and perhaps the your employer wonāt have to spend the money advertising your job and you can have what he saves in your wages
