I’m just waiting for them to start on the cattle wagons… how the hell do you ensure that load won’t move■■?

I am normally on the side of vosa and the police on the issue, but I challenge Nina to secure the QTR load properly as it is in drop order without damaging anything. Come on Nina since you are the expert show us how it’s done.
You’d have to load it how we load our trailers which is try and load in drop order but usually ending up with mixed lifts so it makes a nice neat stack with each side supporting the other and get each drop to reconfigure the load for onward travel to the next if it needs to be. Its a right pain in the arse, turning a 30 minute drop into an hour drop.

Spoke too soon with their expertise, they’ve been on a ‘course’ look and learnt it all from Nina from the HSE with her presumably decades of hands-on experience in loading things in lorriesThank you to Nina from HSE and to Highways England for supporting Hants,TVP,Met and City of London CV teams with excellent load securing training. Regional collaboration and partnership working in action. #JOUCVU
And Nina’s next course is how to spot that your vehicle won’t fit under that bridge… Working in collaboration with Transport specialist Mr E stobart, and all attendees received a free tape measure from spec-savers.r
So it takes at least 6 of these absolute waste of fresh air arse wipes to stare at a truck thinking I wonder what she’s made me for tea tonight. And yet when my motorbike got nicked all I got was a crime number, and when i was in a reasonably bad crash in a truck (No fault of my own) it took 3 hours for one single copper to turn up and breathalise me whilst strapped to a spinal board in the back of an ambulance while the 3rd party who accepted liability at the scene to the (Very helpful) highways officers was sat at home no breathaliser or anything. Absolute scumbags.
Suedehead:
So whats the problem with the 7.5 tonner and the tyres .
Is it because the straps are secured to the side raves ?
In Germany , Straps twisted, Straps over the side boards, no strap protection on the edge of the side boards, straps should have gone between bottom edge of side boards and the deck,the gap between the stacks of tyers should have been filled out with Pallets,Here you would have not moved another inch with that, Just Saying 
Oh and the the strap in the Right of the Picture has got a knot in it

I think the whole obsession with load security is simply because they’ve got nothing else to do people for any more, in 99% of cases.They became so strict and so ■■■■, that operators became (rightly) paranoid about the smallest thing. A very large German firm I used to work for put up a notice saying that an inoperative marker light was now classed as GV9(S). Don’t know if it’s true, but given the way these people have gone, I’m inclined to believe it.
You used to see some shocking sights, but they are very very rare now, and the ones you do see are by people who would do it anyway.
They have simply done themselves out of a job, and need to keep themselves funded and justified. Gotta ■■■■■ the budget, don’t you know.
You mean a PG 9■■?

I never heard about about a GV9(S). Neither in Germany or the UK. So I’m asking you if you maybe mean a PG9?

Probably the same as a so called PG 9, as far as I know.

The problem is so many are having stupid accidents the emphasis is now on loads. Let’s be honest if you load properly and drive sensibly strapping shouldn’t be required.
I picked up from that Pallet place at Fradley Park for the first time the other week. All manor of shapes and sizes in no particular order. Strapping it was a nightmare. How do you strap an exercise bike without damaging it. It’s a joke.
Crap wages, crap conditions and then fined for breathing, oh and £3k to be able to do it. And they wonder why there’s a driver shortage.
Like shooting fish in a barrel.

Or they positioned and stacked the load right up to the roof, so it’s virtually impossible to throw a strap over it.
