RDC Bull manure list

Nothing to serious but what is the most ludicrous yarn you had to listen to while wasting a few hours.
The ones that tell it say it with such conviction that you could believe it as true and gospel.
This one is a cracker but was said like this:
“When you download your Digicard and have infringments Vosa will be able to see what you have done and automaticaly send a fine in the post.This is when you down load at your base or who you work for.”
That was his first “cracker”.
Now the second.:
“I left the tacho mode on other work crossed hammers on a daily rest by midtake when it should have been on rest mode.
I pulled in to a Vosa station to ask about it,and the officer put his card in his computer and wiped off the infringment putting back the rest mode on the card to make it legal again.”

You test for radiation with a Geiger counter.

You test the hot air in the RDC waiting room with one of these meters…

while double manning for a curtain steel company I had the other driver telling me that its up to who is driving weather smoking is allowed in the cab or not ■■?

I never have this problem. .i just tell em straight STOP TALKING BOLLOX. Then they go haunt someone else

I had a corker told to me the other day…

ALL LORRIES ON THE MOTORWAYS ARE ON IT ILLEGALLY

The police turn a blind eye to it so it’s all good.

Supposedly your vehicle needs to be capable of 60MPH to use the motorway, so only the paddies can use it.

What a load of shift…

They believe what they are told so when they tell the story it sounds believable to the novice or newbie or the gullible and naive that then pass it on adding spicy bits to get the listeners attention while sat next to him for five hours.

The truth is less controversial, I thought it was 26KMH.

“You can’t run a fridge motor in a pay to stay truck stop, drive. If you don’t turn it off someone will turn it off for you”

Whilst that is bull effluent for now, it wont be long before tacho units are linked to gps and 4g and if you have an infringement it will automatically relay your gps position and nature of crime to vosa. It will happen and if it doesn’t I best patent the technology now.

I have seen that about Gps and 4g.The Vosa van will be able to drive past and be able to see what offences and tacho times without the need to pull you over.

At tesco Snoodland i talk to one drivers about tacho,rule,POA.i said to him who i today press to break,because no parking space around and was traffic.ok another drivers -what you do in the bay just other job.i answer him who was trafiik.may be it is not full legaly,but i keep my card clean more longer.he said if no space to parking stop at hard shoulders,taked break.
every day somebody talk who Stobart ready gone or lost cotract.

With this am I not to be understanding gibberish that has to have my understanding by writing of yourself with this not only but many posts of you :confused:

Biggest load of bull I have ever heard in an RDC is:
‘Bay , and we will tip you straight away.’

Ched:
“You can’t run a fridge motor in a pay to stay truck stop, drive. If you don’t turn it off someone will turn it off for you”

If they do, are they going to clean up your big creamy mess of melted ben & jerrys in the back? :open_mouth: :stuck_out_tongue:

WTF? :laughing:

The best one I heard was a few years back, and I have only just remembered it. I’ve never heard it before or since, neither has anyone else, so you’ve gotta give the guy ten out of ten for originality.

He said that truck tyres are only able to run for 4 and a half hours before they blow, and that’s why tacho rules are just so, and the 45 minute break isn’t for drivers, it’s how long tyres need to cool down before before they are safe again.

Kinda blows double manning out the water then doesn’t it?

My favourite which I have posted here before, when I first started driving,an old timer told me that reversing doesn’t count as drive time as it only counts if moving forwards!
