Usual 1am start today,gets keys to nice 61 plate 440 scania which are on hire.i had this unit on tues,goes to get started climbs up into cab and right across engine cover some manky git has walked right across it leaving muddy footprints onto passenger side.our own 07plate cfs are coming off lease in nxt 4-6 wks and getting replaced by volvo fms. By the state of the scania seems our drivers dont give toss about keeping anything clean,but there first to complain about about the state of the dafs inside.
Some drivers just don’t like Scannies 
No excuse for treating it like ■■■■■ though!

Just imagine how they treat their houses also!
There’s a fella at our place where the garage refused to service his truck until it had been valeted - At his expense
Let me drive your unit for a few days ya fussy git, ill leave a rank smell, some dog hairs, empty food cartons, banna skins and rotting apple cores and a bottle of urine in ya cool box. 
when i was on building site work the inside of my cab would resemble a ploughed field in winter.i wasnt provided with any cleaning tackle,so it didnt get cleaned.on the upside…it kept the weekend boys out of it

We dont have any set unit just whatevers in depot at my starting,so every unit is filthy.

Can see if your on site work its difficult to keep clean,but we re on supermarket deliveries so all store yards and our depot is all concreted.
so where did the mud come from 
was it mud or was it just wet footprints during his working day,the driver came into contact with whatever was on the bottom of his shoes and needed to cross the cab.dont worry about it,its not a big deal

Everywhere that has the same policy has filthy trucks.
There are two reasons, one, the driver who thinks like pavaroti’s post gets to drive them all.
Second, those who might keep them clean don’t bother because he’ll probably have it next.
Seven years ago, when I started here, any truck was anyone’s, or rather no ones.
They were six months old and filthy inside and out with lots of damage.
On a change of TM, he was persuaded to allocate each of us a truck.
Within a couple of months, our dirty stinky driver got to sit in his own mess every day and
could no longer blame all the damage he did on everyone else.
Nor could he blame the four clutches in four years on anyone else. 
Eventually, he used to show off his cesspit of a cab, which he thought was clean 
.
In the end, drivers who had been happy to drive these sheds got upset when their pride and joy
was left with a few specks of dust by another driver.
I suppose it’s all about standards and trucks without regular drivers fall to the standard of the
least interested.

Some cabs are disgusting, but on the other hand some drivers are just ott when it comes to cleaning; I know of drivers who wont take one of our spares out without polishing the interior. One driver was quite embarassed when she complained that our fitters left my cab windows open during a service before she brought it over to swap to the spare I had; She was shocked when I said there was nowt wrong with it…
I thought this thread would be about something else, by the title.
There was a massive turd in a layby on the A1 by Catterick today.
And it wasn’t no dog turd neither.
I reckon it was Bulgarian.
No R Swipe or socks next to it, just a big stinky, curly turd sat on its own in the layby.
Some driver will stand in that in the night I bet.

Just like those who like to smear ■■■■ on cubicle walls. WTF for?
It’s the lack of R Swipe that got me wondering.
Every download needs at least one wipe, if only to confirm it’s a dry one and no further wiping is required.
Who can do a download and know it’s a dry one, without a check wipe?
What if they got men in the rigging / klingons?
Maybe they’re doing the checck wipe with their hand, hence the beige heiroglyphics on the trap wall ■■?

If you’ve got a smooth arse and splay the cheeks far enough then you may get a clean exit and negate the need for r swipe. I personally take wet wipes to the toilet with me as I’m a hairy ■■■■■■ and I dont want no babbit bit klingons.
Always glad to help 
I fear for the quality of toilet etiquette advice given by a chap called Skids.
Did the name Skids originate before the use of said wet wipes?

Ha ha, no, my surname is Marks! I’ve had the nickname skids since I was about 6 or 7. My father had the nickname as well and I’m sure my son will get the same!
worked on tools for Dorset haulier ,big fleet , doing mainly tankers for farm work ,vehicles away all wk so weekend very busy time for workshop, when one particular driver returned and had left yard, truck doors FULL open in yard and vehicle left till last service/ repair on sunday night ! i swear guys, this fella was RANK !!shame really , must have had other probs i suppose?
I love it when drivers smoke in trucks, because when I get given a job and take over a cab,if I can smell putrid smoke and also ■■■ ash around the cab, I then refuse the truck, get sent home and get paid a days wage.
Thanks to all the smokers who choose to smoke in a company vehicles,I get free money!!!
disclamer… I have been 10months smoke free.
