Finding two different jobs both on a 143 is pretty remote these days. Unless you travel the Uk looking for jobs with a 143

I donât know what you mean, it is a great old bus, I enjoyed driving it, I would never let anyone know on here where I work at the time I work there. I do chop and change driving jobs quite often, you see I donât do it for the money but for the kicks or enjoyment. Once I donât enjoy it I simply move on. My refrigeration work is totally the opposite, I do that for the money and put more importance on that. problem I found with recovery was the hours were ridiculous. the money was excellent but that is purely because 19 hr shifts 7 days a week knocks the shine off of it. If I would have stuck it out longer I would have been like a zombie. It suits some but not me.Whatâs strange is you were banging on about how great this 143 your driving on hay and straw was and how it took some getting used to only for it to apparently be the second 143 youâve driven recently. As you know I was one of few that believed you at first but my God your story develops new holes every day
At work at the moment but as it happens I can fill those holes for you. I have the texts on my iPhone which are all dated and to my knowledge cannot be falsified. I will do a screen dump off my phone where you will see texts from my agency asking if I want any class 1 work and I reply with the answer I am booked at sparrow recovery doing class 1 recovery for the week. You cannot have any doubts with that. Also I have my refrigeration videos from my YouTube channel as proof of my refrigeration.

I am just a lucky guy I guess. I will prove this evening when I get home.

Put your belief down to you being more sensible and not an idiot. Might appear to be holes developing but I assure you it is only because you are looking for them.

UKt mate, just my opinion here after reading all this⌠but I think youâre getting a bit carried away with all this secret squirrel identity protection thing, and talk of people looking for you.
Do you REALLY think for one minute there are those amongst us who actually CARE enough about words on a forum, to be a potential danger or a threat to you ffs.
This is a forum for a few drivers mate, not Mafianet.
Ok there are definitely a few odd pricks on it, but why would they even bother having a go at you if they know your i.dâŚeven if anything you have said merited it (which it hasnât), it isnât that you have said youâre a bloody â â â â â â â â â â or cut kittenâs heads off or something is it.
Reckon you need to come back down to earth a bit mate, you say youâve had dodgy pm.s, but tbh most of the ones on the forum who give it large are undoubtedly all wind and â â â â anywayâŚI wouldnât bother my arse personally.
Iâve had forum based rucks on here from time to time with a select few and my handsome rugged looks are displayed on here somewhere, but I would not give an absolute flying â â â â if I met up with any of the ones responsible, they are drivers, and I tend to get on with drivers anywayâŚbeing a one myself.
Apart from that you can bet as sure as hell these characters would be different in a real life face to face situationâŚunless youâ ve convinced yourself theyâre coming at you mob handed or something.
I was one of the ones that ââgot youââ on here mate, and I think all this stuff started as a â â â â take on your part aimed at a few on here, but itâs quickly turning 360 tbh bud, to a vice versa situation lately ,and you appear to be blissfully unawareâŚjust saying like.
Obviously I put myself out there and have done for years and ive had my fair share of âhatersâ (I hate that word but can think of no better) but you know what? At the end of the day in the 8 years Iâve been making videos I have NEVER been approched by one of these people even though Iâve known they are Sat in same ferry restaurant as me on several occasions (not to mention all the other places we must have crossed paths). All you get is the odd funny look and the whisper amongst themselves. None of them have the balls to approach me and letâs face it Iâm hardly a 20st fighter. You worry too much UKT. No one really cares enough to do anything
UKT
You massively over estimate some of the posters of truck net. Those few who pump hot air huffing and puffing are so full of it theyâre lucky not to pop like balloons. Iâd lay my hat thereâs been zero Mexican show downs at services as a result of an online lorry forum squabble.
Relax. Youâre not a CID Officer working to dismantle serious crime. Iâd cancel that amazon order for face mask and wig combo

I am aware rob, yes I took the â â â â a bit, but then things took a turn and when you start getting death threats and weird pms and emails you quickly realise you donât really know who some of these nutters are. I am on pre mod so maybe that explains the 360 turnaround.

I donât have the same confidence in your experience Luke. Anyway my paranoia aside, read these texts from my agent. Note the dates etc and here is your proof I was driving for sparrow recovery which is that 143 in the picture I posted.
Surely this must now end this ridiculous knit picking and show I am telling the truth.

Whether or not youâre telling the truth is irrelevant, but I wholeheartedly agree with the first part of your sentence, lets indeed hope eh, no right,no wrong, just⌠End, desist, fin, stop, enough al[zb]ingready!
In one of my posts I said I walked out of my job and registered with two agencies. I said my phone doesnât stop ringing, well I wasnât lying about that either. read the texts. I only work when I want to work. If I fancy working for a few weeks or a few days I simply drive. I donât need to be permanently in work, driving is my hobby. Hence why everyone keeps harping on about I constantly change my job. I work when I want and agencies have more work than I want. Because I am an experienced driver, I have no shortage of class 1 work offered whenever I want it.
Death threats? Ffs, not doubting you UKT but Iâm more surprised that some folk actually take this electronic la la land seriously enough to actually threaten to kill someone over it. Not that I for one minute believe that theyâd come out of their bedroom for long enough to carry out their threat.
There are a few things Iâd without a second thought kill for, a bloody forum isnât one of them.

OkâŚAre you seriously telling us you have had actual bona fide ââDeath Threatsââ via pm?
Did you not (at the very least) inform the mods?
This must break some forum rule, or if not it should, surely it crosses the line.
These guys are surely traceable via the moderators, how come they are not life bannedâŚare they so â â â â warped, or at least a bit dim being evidently incapable of differentiating a forum from real life.
To go further with thisâŚAre these guys still posting on the forum?
If so how come?..especially if you are on pre.mod.
Or is this another wind up, aimed at me this time.
EditâŚLooks like Maoster beat me to it.

maoster, I am perhaps a little paranoid over my identity and do not try to hide that. Because we have quite a large house in the middle of nowhere, my wife is nervous on her own as I often am away all week tramping, I got CCTV installed around our house but she still gets worried. We were broken into once and even though we were away at the time, she never got over the fear. My receiving these weird emails sort of reinforced that not everyone is stable. I know that in my quest for animosity makes my story on here look dodgy or that I am odd myself, that really isnât the case, but I would prefer to look odd on here to the sceptics who donât know me than to be known to the nutcases. People like yourself I do not mind in the least knowing who I am, there are those that I would rather avoid.

Only one death threat rob, plenty of ones that are just weird, read any of my posts and you will start to build a picture of the ones who send odd messages. I ignore them rather than report them. My Mrs read a few once and that started her off with her being frightened. I find it much simpler to keep my identity private and allow it to those who I trust.
UKtramp:
when you start getting death threats.
Eeehh?! What for real? Or just huffing and puffing big man stuff? Take it you flagged to mods if sinister and maybe the Police.
Not saying youâre fibbing but you and Dozy share the same name and you like creating a little new story or two on here
I honestly canât see the headline UKT
âman targeted by killer. Motive believed to be a disagreement over online claims he drove a particularly old model of hay lorryâ

You too, weâre like a triple act .

No not reported them, I have only received one death threat but then that person never posted again. However there are some really strange ones and even been put on here for everyone to see. One is that clowns face (Not juddian) who remarked I bet your wife wishes you were dead, I could go on but to be honest I simply ignore them.

Two weeks between offers? Then another week? You have either a strange perception of âin demandâ, or you have extremely low levels of expectation. .

That is just one agency, I have another as well, the dates between them is when they know I am already working. As you can see with my replies, I tell them when I am available.
