hiya,
bit new to trucknet thoroughly enjoyed this thread was a driver most of my working life, never bothered about what i had to drive as far as i was concerned if it went and stopped i’d make a shilling with it i don’t recollect ever really cleaning a truck the hose on the windows when dirty was enough for me the most modern looking tool i ever had was a brand new scania 80 have driven 110s and volvo f88s my favourite was a seddon not sed atki with a 290 roller in it scania’s and volvo’s couldn’t live with it ,i was never envious of guys with new stuff,worked for loads of hauliers most of them twice (if your crap you don’t get a second go) i guess i just liked a change couldn’t stand repitition if i pulled to the same area twice i got bored out of my mind,iv’e been just about everywhere uk wise but never did the continent never once slept in the cab in all my time as a driver, used to book my bed the day before and had a fantastic list of private digs.and always had the decency to cancel if i wasn’t able to make it.thanks harry long retired.

Aw, he was a smashing dog, I think my missus still has a picture of him on her phone.
This is the shunter where i work.
£80,000 new.Not the most reliable motor around,but it makes moving trailers a hell of alot easier than a road unit
.
Thats my kind of truck, sleeping out on the patio at night 
My ride not the greatest but i feel a decent start for a newbie
Hopefully be doin my class 1 soon fingers crossed so moving onto to something like this

The brakes have always been ok while ive been working there.
It’s just electrical problems that let it down and starter motors.

Are them MOL tugs rented through Allen Munro Commercials?

The one we have was bought.But if they leased it,it would be repaired a hell of alot faster then we can get it fixed.it’s sometimes off the road for up to a week waiting for parts.

no one wants to repair tugs.and really,i don’t blame them.we are lucky.we have a tug specialist at our place.
my new steed with my other ride, has working blinkers, actually
my truck
Had to change again. Seems that 600,000 km is tooooo many for a tramper’s motor. 
After my first night out in it, I soon remember how great digital tachos are at keeping you within the law. 
Lost the Merc hate to say i tol you so.
There must be one here I could use.

Fenman, as I dont have a clue about the workings of the Digital tachograph, what info is that telling you?
Im guessing that you are getting 11.5 miles to the gallon…
not a clue what FE, F, or N2 means…
That driver 1 and 2 have had 9 hours and 7 minutes sleep / break…
Cant work out the 35 minutes box!!! …
That its 6 in the morning…
And you last drove 686.5 kms on your last driving shift!!!
