Lancashire Lad?

Classic stereotype generalising ■■■■■■■■… :unamused:
I know many tipper drivers that are good lads, it’s the teararse d/heads among them that bring them down like every other aspect of road transport.
How can you judge a whole group of drivers on whatever trailer type they pull ffs. :unamused:

What he said. Why some people think they become God’s gift to driving just because they have C+E on their licence I’ll never know. Most of them probably wouldn’t dare go onto a hill farm with a Land-Rover never mind an 8-wheeler.

one off theres done same thing on m74 not long ago story was trailer had fault with air suspension,and went up all on its own and raised the arse off the trailer up enough to nip the bridge and rip the arse off

Update

Heard that the bridge striker was a young EE agency driver in his 20’s who had been using a car sat-nav

…nearly all of the worst offenders are
young, inexperienced EE’s who are using car sat-navs

Why are you focusing so much on the fact that these guys are using standard car sat navs?
I would just focus more on the fact that they are just poor limp dicked excuses for drivers, sat navs or not.

Are you saying, (and are you just taking for granted) that drivers today are so effin feckless that they can not do the job today unless they are using a Truck sat nav, that tells them how and when to do every ■■■■ thing? :open_mouth:
Has it really got to that stage where it is taken as obvious that you now NEED a truck sat nav. :unamused:

The fact that they are EE is irrelavent, a lot of us have driven in areas/towns/countries that we have never been to before, either with or without any sat nav.
I am not the only driver on here who regularly and adequately just use a car sat nav, alongside some form of mapping, and a brain, .and still.manage not to jam my trailer under bridges. :bulb:

Its all i have as well a car sat nav, the bridges are in full view in front, you dont need a nav to tell you theres a bridge ahead.

Btw-bring the height limit down to 4m and half these strikes wouldnt happen…blah blah… :stuck_out_tongue:
