Early 2000s on boxes used to run back home on Fri afternoon/eve. Before they fiddled with the roads, the run up to Boongate roundabout at Peterborough was always jammed up in the left lane for miles with traffic turning left and going straight on. I used to beatle up the right (clear lane), indicate right then keep going all the way around the roundabout then head off where the left turners were trying to go. It used to make me chuckle and pleased my small tired brain. Especially as the car drivers smirking at the lost lorry turned to blankness when the penny dropped. Do you use any little cheats/tips in the job that you find break up the monotony?
The only one like that I can think of is coming off at clockwise J14 M25 so I can come back on the onslip, then keep where I am (over to the left of 6 lanes) to come off onto the westbound M4.
If you stay on the M25 to start with, there’s usually a queue as soon as you pass the J14 offslip, and you’ll lose 5-10 minutes getting to the J15 offslip right after it.
We’re talking peak periods here of course.
The obvious J30/31 M25 trick when heading for the bridge in heavy traffic 
Yes, magnet for when I am out of driving time!

Don’t tell everyone or there will be no benefit in doing it if others follow suit.
I always used to turn left on the slip road and to the roundabout to come towards Ely when joining the A142 from the westbound A14. Always a queue to turn right as 142 always busy both ways

Which is why I refuse too let anyone come back on in front of me,trucks included,love the way they think you daft enough too do the right thing,let another truck driver on,NO ,I know your game so you can sit there until some mug is daft enough too 
Going Sothbound on the M5 past Avonmouth,stay in lane one then just before the Gordano Msa go over to rejoin Southbound.
Going Southbound on the M6 in the road works,stay in the lane for the toll road past Hilton Park Msa then go back in lane to head South towards the M42 and M5.

I do this, surprised more don’t lol
Hang on, we learned these tricks over many years of suffering in the relevant bottlenecks, you shoudn’t just give away these hard earned cheats, let the new boys and girls find out the hard way too.
m6 Northbound when scumbed up from Thelwall viaduct jump off at Jnct 20 follow Truckstop signs then over roundabout on A50 then back down on to M6 you can gain 2 miles on queued up traffic. 
Junction hopping the T&J Haulage way 
When tossing the job off (only do this once you are tipped or it WILL bite you on the bum) and your vehicle has a tracker fitted, make sure you park within 20 feet of the customers perimeter fence, that way any snooping office bod will think you are still unloading.

Which is exactly what`s happened at the M67 roundabout, heading towards the Woodhead Pass
Keep an eye out at bus lanes for the little signs that say ‘and HGV’s’.
Then keep an eye out for the scrotes in the cars that like to straddle the bus lane (and HGV’s) to stop you passing them.
Ours was always, when you got a new motor, (old days before air ride) first time it was fully loaded legal. Cut the mud flaps so they were half inch from the road, a) so you knew within a little you were ok and b) you didn’t pull the bloody things off when reversing. For some reason, new units always had the mud flaps too long.

Parking in this particular layby, under the pylons used to fog-out the isotrac as well!
You are a sneaky, sneaky man Winseer. But I do like the way you think.
A little block of wood that fits snug in the fuel nozzle trigger - for hands free fueling when the clip has been removed
When on tippers, have tree roots, broken pallets and other junk spread on the floor of the tipper body, and have it buried with “decent” muck. I’d leave the sheet on when passing the weighbridge too if executive cars were on site.

I use a pin to do the same, usually the clip is there but the pin has been removed. I put the nozzle in the tank and leave it to it.
