Bloke near us was telling me, he had just been to the moon with 2 chep pallets and couldn’t get tipped.
My reply.
“Yeah I saw you!”
I have also heard of the yarn about the chalked tyres at a RDC when i was in europe,the story was so good it crossed the channel.Met a few too that have missed the Herald of Free Enterprise by two minutes.The chalk story was mid 90s.

Only euro pallets (white) on the moon - any fool knows that. 
And the Ex-SAS drivers on the ferries,also heard how some were talking about the day they pinned the Gendarme against the truck,while the CRS were called to haul the bent copper away in a van,the driver had to wait for the van,so im guessing missed his delivery and upset his bosses plans too.
And having the copper by the scruff of his neck and let him carry on to tip.

Just wondering, were these drivers ex middle east and ex sas drivers? If they were I’ve met them before, in every rdc I’ve ever been in!!! And they are usually in green shirts.I think my record is hearing this very story 3 times from 3 different green shirted drivers in the same rdc on the same day and within the space of 4 hours.
no they wernt in green shirts, one in blue,the other in a sruffy fleece, the green shirted drivers were just listening
Ady, do you ever get e-mails from a nice man in Nigeria who wants to give you £30.000.000 ?
I’ll give you a tip…don’t believe him

I once told the M&S Thatcham RDC that I might run out of time if they didn’t unload me within 10 hours…needless to say they chalked off the whole of Thatcham for me and gave me a meal voucher for one of Gordon Ramsay’s restaurants for a free 18 course meal. Because of this I missed the Herald Of Free Something Or Other and was unable to deliver my backload to Africa…needless to say I wrote a strong letter of complaint and then received a 5% share of M&S.
now your getting a bit silly, i dont believe you had a backhaul to africa from thatcham

its quite possible, i believe SG1,STARGATE ATLANTIS,STARGATE UNIVERSE are based on true stories,they have worm-holes going to lots of different planets throughout this galaxy,why not the moon 
,i doubt a truck would fit through a normal stargate,butthe ORIA have what are called SUPER GATES,ive seen massive star ships going through these gates, so why not a truck with pallets of food for the inhabitants of the moon,but im suprised hes told you as i was under the impression it was classified information.
sit down and watch these programes wheelnut, it really does open your eyes as to whats going on out in our universe
Don’t know if it’s still the same, but Tesco did use to have a policy that if you had more than 4 hours sat in their DC you were entitled to a free meal. Hatfield used to serve a good Fish N Chips

A few years ago i did run out of time a tescos purfleet i think it was tibbit and britten back then. It was because the planner ■■■■ up he gave me a 1900 tip but my 15 hours was up at 2000 so he knew i would not get tipped in time. Anyway got to tescos 1815 on a bay 1915 then at 1945 told tescos times up at 2000 they said ok driver if you can drop your trailer on the bay and you can park up at the bottom of the yard our shunter will pull trailer off for you when its tipped so 0530 sat morning drew back the curtains looked to my right and my trailer was 4 bays down empty ready to roll. I must a admit it was a quite noisey but hey it was sat home sweet home
I bet they would not do it now
Its also illegal to do more than two nights out a week unless you have a globetrotter or topline etc cab. And every irish fridge lorry carrys 20 ton of steel under the hanging meat
Drivers that did the middle east navigating by old oil barrels in the dessert.
well i actually believe this happened because the other day in peterborough i was caught short so i climbed in the back of my tipper, whilst doing a no2 a double decker bus pulls along side and all the kids seen me and started chucking stuff at me including pink chalk. anyhow as i clambered out the back, a cop car with blues and twos on screeches up and the driver asks if i happened to have any pink chalk on me cause he only had white chalk and he needed pink to chalk around a lorry at the nearby tesco depot. so i gave him the pink chalk. then he gave me a tip 
dont believe everything you hear

So was it you or the other guy who was that Brit driver who those two Dutch guys, who hoped to be the first truckers to deliver to the moon, found when they finally got there? You know the one I mean, first words he said to them was - “I’ve done my running money, any chance of a sub and a bit of diesel?” 
Back to the origional post viewtopic.php?f=2&t=44604&p=503094#p503094 Not quite the story which even i do find hard to believe but ‘I can say i have run out of hours on a bay’
