Why do drivers queue jump. What makes that driver think he she is better. You arrive, there’s a queue, you wait your turn. Not rocket science.
Or you get the driver that has only got one pallet and asks to go in front the queue.
He will ask how many pallets have you got to come off.
Then you get a life story that he has to get home for the cats birthday or pick up the kids from school.
For that i go “No Englishy”.

Not something that seems to ever happen with me.
A job in the non profit making sector of transport means you can actively encourage it.
Because I unload myself
Sometimes the line of trucks is on the street, so it can make figuring out whos in a queue, and whos parked up having a break difficult. Especially if there happens to be a butty van nearby.

so instead of asking you just pile in. silly me. and there was me thinking should I ask people.
Some of our shops are shared yards, had it friday in Sheffield already an artic in there so parked out the way helped him tip he moved then he watched me back onto the bay happy days.
Could have tried to squeeze next to him but he was there first 
Sometimes the ‘queue jumping’ is not what it seems. Sometimes an item on a truck is desperately needed, so will inevitably get unloaded first. Likewise the ‘queue jumper’ might be their own contracted vehicle on local hops, so that will also get unloaded (or loaded) first.

I never stated that I “pile in” … I normally ask. But the situation isn`t always clear
I was waiting at a security hut to be booked out,i was there first,but a driver stood next to me and extended his arm in front of my face and held it there with his notes or POD.How rude is that.
If you are queing at a bar for a drink,you would mot barge in like that.
It happens everywhere, ive been waiting patiently in a bar to be served, when some ■■■■■ walks in and gets served before me, i do complain though, then in the supermarket, if someone has 1/2 items i always let them go in front, but in depots where theres a booking in system, it is annoying when someone who turned up an hour after you, gets to be pulling out way before anyone else, but if im on hourly pay, i dont really care.
I fell asleep in the queue for about three hours once outside Iceland Deeside. Everybody just pulled around me, easiest overtime I have ever earned.

Or there’s two types of stuff arriving - apologies to the Harris driver sat on the road outside Window Warehouse in Farlington earlier today. I was delivering glass which is a reverse through the yard to the far set of rollers, snaking in and out of builders with worried expressions on their faces - must have known I’ve only been driving for 7 weeks 
First time I went to Farmfoods ■■■■■■■■■■■ I made the mistake of pulling up to the gate. You’d think I’d took a turd in the security mans hut the way he went on. Can’t you see there’s a queue he ranted when in reality it was 3 trucks dotted randomly along the road between cars. I’d forgot to pack my crystal ball that day!

Me too, royal docks London. Same thing happened, ■■■■■■■■
Only time I jumped a queue was on the day the Harry Potter and the half blood prince book came out. I had 4 pallets on. One for each of the Makro’s we covered.
Got to Reading first, and there was about 8 wagons in the queue. Went to goods in, and informed them of my arrival. He took the paperwork and I went back to the wagon. 5 mins later, he ran down the road asking me to pull in as they were desperate for the pallet as people were queueing for it.
no body queues anywhere nowadays
have you caught the bus lately
even tho you are near the front , once the bus comes
people arrive from all angles and walk on the bus before you
