Well their own brand dog biscuits are good and their photo paper is cheap - but that’s about it…

Dare I ask about the dog biscuits
All the various training and assessments I was involved in stressed the point that site rules apply.
When in Rome!!

It’s my two hounds that eat those - I’m more a cheese sandwich guy… Morrison’s bread and Aldi cheese…

I don’t know if I’m being stupid here.
But what is the point in split coupling a normal tautliner trailer?

I’ve had to do at Nobbies before, the pin was slightly deeper than normal, had to get permission to split couple it though

your only allowed too split couple a fridge or a skelliwhat’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.
A skelly is a trailer that sits in the corner singing “I ain’t got nobody”

Nope, was looking at leaving anyway as it was a ■■■■ job and the only people that get on there are the brown nosers and yes men…
We have another ex Tesco driver where I am now, you’ll probably know him, and he even said it was ■■■■ there…
is the yard shunter paid more to police the yard as well as fly round it like his arse is on fire?
I’ve never understood yard shunters, I’m sure they were all real drivers at some point in their lives, what changes them into the little hitlers they become in their terbergs?
nice thread as usual dozy

More likely they failed to make the grade as real drivers, hence their hatred of them.
Always something new to learn: Split-coupling and skelli I knew, but I did have to look up ‘tribbing’.

Does that mean Dozy needs to start looking at shunting jobs?

I couldn’t possibly comment, he might be bigger than me.

You forgot to mention people who come in, keep they’re head down, do a days work and go home again or is that classed as brown nosing and being a yes man in your book??
I like the easy life and that involves keeping my head down and earning my wages, no need for dramas
It must be ■■■■ if you say it is, never mind the fact you left before being pushed coz you were caught out…move on and get on with your life otherwise you’ll end up.as bitter and twisted as pimpdaddy is,

Always something new to learn: Split-coupling and skelli I knew, but I did have to look up ‘tribbing’.
I stumbled across tribbing accidentaly myself but my next opened tinternet window was an incognito one or using my favourite soldier ‘Private Browsing’.
Anyway as far as skellis (or skelleys) go I shouldnt think theres any need to split couple due to the forward positioned pin, even with a 45’box on, but sure some chubby buggers out there may dissagree.
[Top tip for newbies, always check the pin position on a new trailer when coupling / tribbing up as leaving it to late to raise the air will cause a missed pin event of embarrasing proportions.]
I personnaly believe a split couple is ok but the driver should not be distracted and if a shunter driver approached me during a split couple he would get a mouthfull (well unless he was a big bloke).
That said site rules have to be obeyed and one should always check when a split couple is on the cards.

In fairness to tesco there is usually a sign at the gate saying no split couplingI have one of these signs in the bedroom.
You’re a liar Dave; your sign says “No Tribbing”.
But how come you know that? ^^^ 
Seriously though - The Tesco liveried tractors have got these red button ejector seat controls for sliding the 5th wheel up and down. So… When an OD comes in the yard, with a non-works tractor - he’s gonna do what he normally does with a fridge, and split-couple it 'cos there’s no way he can get up on the catwalk despite his lithe, ■■■-paper like body otherwise.
Why is it only the liveried drivers who get the “induction” when the OD’s just get called and no H&S regimen read out to them or anything?

Me and Dave go way back. We share everything; including the wives.
We left them alone briefly once and came back to find a bit of split coupling going on in our absence. This left us in an awkward situation as the wives were busy with each other. So Dave decided to get a sign made up.

I’d bet you will see the sight saying lesbian ■■■ showWhat 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 :lol:
BTW if this WAS available,id be in the gate,booked in and reveresed onto a bay at break neck speed!
I suppose I wouldn’t “see a problem” either - if the action was between say, Eva Logria & Aidra Fox.
