Contraflow:
So you don’t allow split coupling but actively encourage tribbing?

I thought they were the same thing?

Thats true, I havent thought my signage through at all.
Often wondered if its possible for these tribbers to get stuck together with the suction, I shall investigate this shortly.

22

Just one question: how the ■■■■■ you suppose to couple up if youre not allowed to split couple (obviously if you have to split couple) push the shunt button hope that theres enough air in the system get out off tosco dc and then couple up?

23

green456:
yeah,along with another million signs telling drivers what they must/must not do, the problem being that if a driver stopped to read all these signs

A. Are the signs in English?
B. Can anyone understand them anyway.
:grimacing:

I hate going to dav grocery loads of rules there and they like to read them to you before you get through the gate and if you don’t follow them then someone will soon be out to tell you how dangerous it is to drive at 15mph with out your seat belt on or stepping over the barrier will cause you to break your leg and parking there kills shutter drivers unless it’s a shunter that’s parked there. I’m waiting for the day when you need two weeks written notice to reverse onsite. I have been there before when the guy has clocked someone he thought was going abit too fast through the window and radioed the shunter to chase him to the gate to get the driver to come back so he could be told not to do it again.

:twisted: :smiling_imp: ,zb me I’m split coupling up a tautlinerTonight and up steams the tug piloted by a driver trainer ,he then proceeds to ask me what depot I work out of ,who told me it was ok too split couple a tautliner,according too the little hitler your only allowed too split couple a fridge or a skelli and if tesco see my doing it God help me ,and it’s apparently it’s in some h&s book I haven’t read .
His last words were have you anything too say for ourself , yes ■■■■ off I don’t work for tesco :exclamation: :exclamation: :unamused: :unamused: :smiling_imp: :smiling_imp: I suppose that will be another visit too the office and another mark on my file and another weeks driver retraining :unamused: :unamused: :smiling_imp: :smiling_imp: ,zb [zb]

To be fair he probably knew he was dealing with someone who rushes about so much he disregards the risk assessment,takes out a building,and then blames the van driver in a state of total brass neck,unashamed blame passing. Given this happened about a week ago,can you really blame him for being nervous about you split coupling? You’d probably have drove off without going back to set the pin,then blamed the trailer company for not making suzie connections strong enough

Yeh I reckon you’re right, Shunter man looks across yard thinks ‘oh ■■■■ it’s demolition dozy’ panics and steams over asap on a damage limitation excercise :laughing:
Another classic dozy post :smiley:

In fairness to tesco there is usually a sign at the gate saying no split coupling

yeah,along with another million signs telling drivers what they must/must not do, the problem being that if a driver stopped to read all these signs and notices they would still be there the following day :open_mouth:

It’s up to you if you read them or not but then you can’t complain if some oik comes along and reads you the riot act the point is they are there . I’d bet you will see the sight saying lesbian ■■■ show :laughing:

a lot of these tug drivers cant talk anyway,most of them don’t even follow the said h/s rules,i have lost count over the years of the amount of times I have nearly been hit by tugs going too fast,they are a law unto themselves,and talking about Tesco I worked as an agency at Weybridge in the late 90s,got back one day and saw the tug all smashed in at the front when I asked how it happened it turns out the tug driver was going too fast tried to turn on a wet patch and skidded straight into a steel post at the edge of the yard,he was taken to hospital,probably lost his job afterwards as well

28

dozy:
your only allowed too split couple a fridge or a skelli

what’s a skelli? Had my first (and hopefully last) experience of container work yesterday, bloke says “see that skelli over there?”, “the what■■?”

I did find the split coupling principle made life a lot easier when shifting a few fridges around at the end of the day.

29

A skelli is the trailer that carry containers.

A skelli is the trailer that carry containers.

To be pedantic, it’s a skeleton trailer but it’s been shortened to “skele”… :wink:

What RDC is this available at? Slag off RDC and Tesco if you will but if they put this on as entertainment while being tipped then I fail to see a problem :laughing:
BTW if this WAS available,id be in the gate,booked in and reveresed onto a bay at break neck speed!

Couple of months back a shunter made a right mess of someone’s cab reversing into a space too fast dragged the back corner of the trailer down his cab before stopping. Had a harsh punishment sat in the drivers holding pen for the 3 hours I was there anyway.
