Paid to put his feet up (well why not)

[cruise_control]

On my 45 break saturday lunch time when a truck pulled into services, unhitched his trailer and parked next to it and me.

Good job i wasn’t sleeping as it was a reefer and the truck park was fairly empty but he parked next to me :!:

After he unhitched he sat there for about 10 mins, did his his print out etc etc then proceeded to do this…

…alright for some thought, getting paid to put their feet up - but why not, not very often that happens outside of an RDC , even if it was only for a few mins at least he took his shoes off though, .

I left before the other truck arrived but i did wonder the truck he was meeting was being driven by a ladeeeeeeey. As he pulled the d/s mirror in and checked to see if his hair/face etc. But i dare say it prob was to check for any food left around his mouth

meh, i had an hours zuzz the other day whilst waiting to be tipped, i’d opened the curtains and told them i was there, what more can you do?

As an agency driver, 8/10 times I`ll kick the seat back, and put my feet up rather than get on the bunk, especially as there may be a regular guys bedding on the bunk

looks like the name on the side skirt of the truck has been blurred with photoshop “swurl”.
As all reefer opperators have to have the company name on the truck
now the clever gits could use photoshop, and un blur the info, but posting the un-blurred pic may breach forum rules

No we have our outfit on hire from dawsons, hence no markings, not even on back of cab. But its DBC, couple of our other depots have trailers marked up DBC, but not at Chelmsford

I always feel really guilty whenever I park in the services cause the fridges on our trucks are stupidly loud.
