I had an operation that some of you know about a few weeks ago and wasnt driving my truck until Monday this week.

They had an agency guy driving it and I rode shotgun last friday telling him he had broke my o/s mirror but handt told anyone so told my boss phoned the garage and they said it would take an hour but as it was in for service on Wednesday could I wait yes no problem I told my boss.

Picked it up this morning from the Daf dealership adjusted the mirror set off for a days work got to somewhere today at 1pm over a speed hump and the ■■■■■■■ mirror fell off !!! ■■■■■■■ unbelievable !!! so phoned the boss to say it had fallen off and i had to go back to get another one fitted.

He went in to his moody thing her does (they all do it (bosses)) anyway got to the garage they said oh it hapopens all the time with these Dafs theres a bolt goies through the mirror that you cant see so sometimes they fall off and its noones fault.

Got back to work and the boss is still in the huff as it costs £55 for a new mirror I said yeh but they said its common that they have this problem with them he said would they admit it was their fault I said well they did in the garage.

I said well they only fitted it last night when they done the service GUESS WHAT HIS REPLY WAS…

“OH I didnt even know it was in the garage”

Why oh why do they put people with no ■■■■■■■ brains in to management■■?.

I’ve heard this before, but does that mean if all you ever do is drive a truck then you are incompetent at doing that? :confused: :smiley:
