We’ve just pulled into Chieveley to wait for our job to start. I’ve not even turned the lorry off and there’s a mush bellowing at me that he’s here to swap trailers and we’re in his way. What makes him think his trailer swap is so much more important than everything else in the world.
I have to admit I gave as good as I got.
Why do people get so het up about driving and feel they’re so bloody important.
Instant Karma! Mouthy has just fallen out the lorry after firing [zb]s into me left right and centre. I did go up and ask if he was ok, mouthfuls of abuse and told repeatedly he had his trailer swap on the line. Ohdearwhatapitynevermind

On the subject of drivers getting over-agitated about inconsequential stuff: The other day I refuelled at Leicester Forest services and while I waited my turn to pay, the driver behind me started off on one about the pumps being set to cut off at 500 litres. Apparently this is a major problem, and formal complaints to BP would be forthcoming, as it meant that he would have to fuel up again the next day. I just nodded in agreement while he moaned about it. As I left the kiosk to return to my truck, I could hear him demanding to speak to the manager about it.
Must admit I might have a moan to myself about stupid people doing stupid things but I dont see the point in confronting them about their failings. However I would have just laughed at this guy, and might have even gone to the point of moving to cover 2 bays just to spite lol

he is proberly peed about waiting for drivers finishing there breaks on the pumps hate that
Had a guy do this to me at Frankley North where, let’s face it, there isn’t much room. I shifted to let him get on with, and then sat there for 30 mins and watched him chase down every truck that entered the hgv parking area and asked them to move. It was hilarious, one would move, and another would pull in into the previously occupied space. I actually felt a bit sorry for him cos he wasn’t ranting, just asking if the space could be left clear for a swap over.

Frankley North must have won some sort of award for “Best Lorry Parking Area Designed by a Blind Three Year Old”, or something. I hate parking there.
Never parked there myself, just looking at it on google maps, how is it meant to work. If you’ve got a vehicle in front of you it looks like you’d hit the one next to you while trying to get out anyway.

That’s a safety feature in case the pump is spilling diesel all over the floor, It’s £500 not 500 litres & all you have to do is put the handle back n then take it out again and carry on, you just then pay for 2 seperate lots.
The pumps at Warwick are ridiculously slow whilst we’re on a bout BP & on friday only 1 of the 3 for near side diesel tanks was working, you would have thought that with the profits BP make they could sort the pumps out & put blue pumps in while they’re at it, the amount of blue plastic caps from the tubs of ad blue on the floor is almost art.

He must be blind - I thought that was Cambridge Services.
