Awesome :smiley: :smiley:

I left a half bowl of Cheerios on the diesel tank, done my curtains up, got my paperwork and only remembered about an hour later when I was on the M1.

Pulled the pin whilst legs were up and lines Wer on lol lucky was early on a Saturday in the yard went n got forklift to lift up trailer in wind down legs lol nearly ripped suzies out of cab

A good few years ago loaded a 5t digger at Shoeburyness and headed back to the yard 20 miles away, stopped on the way for a ■■■■ against the wheel and carried on back. Got back to find that to my horror I’d completely forgotten to strap it down.

Reversed my car into my truck in the yard. :blush: it was a Sunday so nobody was about, but when I got to work the next day all the other driver had stacked pallets round their trucks to protect them form me. :laughing: ■■■■ taking ■■■■■■■■■ :laughing:

My regular motor (car transporter) was in for a service so took a spare, same basic body setup, the manual ramps on the top deck of mine covered solid deck, the ramp on the spare was the deck. I lifted the ramps and stepped onto what would have been deck on my motor but was fresh air on the spare., straddled the frame of the deck then gravity took over, smacked the family jewels pretty ■■■■ hard, did a nice little somersault with twist and pike (ok I was seeing of my nuts were still attached) and managed to straddle the prop where it’s about 3 inches higher than my inside leg. Several buyers at the auction applauded but told me I dropped points for not landing with both feet on the ground.

HAHA there are some very funny Dumb moments lol.

Glad I am not alone

I went to give blood yesterday, but forgot my glasses. So I bluffed through the form just ticking “no” to all the questions about ill health, foriegn travel etc. The guy who took my blood sample asked why I had ticked all the boxes relating to females & pregnancy.

Was driving out the gate when the boss waved to me, I waved back but he shouted at me to stop.
“what’s up?” says I
“how far were you thinking of taking the diesel pump?” says he

On tilt work picked up the wrong trailer on the Saturday for the next weeks work and dragged it back to the yard. Got in Monday and wondered why my truck had been moved, it wasn’t due for a service.
but got on the road and thought nothing more of it, until I got a phone call from one of the drivers who started on Sunday.

He’d gone down to Yarmouth to collect his trailer and it wasn’t there there was one with a very similar number though. :smiley:
He’d phoned the boss who looked in the yard saw that I’d taken the wrong trailer so he took my truck and swapped trailers. :blush:

Well they were all Blue and dirty and it had all the right numbers but not necessarily in the right order. :laughing:

Someone mentioned reversing into their truck.

I reversed over my own car in a dimly lit yard one night. There wasn’t much room and I backed in alongside the hedge, taking a huge gouge out of the side of my new Orion :confused: :frowning:

Sent out from Northern Ireland with 3 drops - Stone ,Portishead and Bridgwater. Not long started ( think it was the second or third load I’d done and the previous multidrops had all been close together. pulled out the maps and started looking -
Stone - just off J14 of the M5
Portishead - M5 J19
Bridgwater - M5 J23/24
It all looked good so off i went down the A75, M6 and on to the M5 . About Strensham services the phone rang "Hello driver what time will you be here at ? "
“Not far away mate can you give me directions in ?”
"Yeah take J14 off the M6 turn left and down to the roundabout then go left "
:blush: :blush: :blush: :blush: :blush: :blush: :blush:
"ahh I’ve just caught up on some standing traffic mate - I’ll be with you as soon as I can " talk about having a heart attack I’d driven past it and was about 2 hours away with clear roads and it was now 3 in the afternoon . Turned round and headed back up the road as fast as I could and made it with about 5 minutes to spare . :blush: :blush:

Not long after passing my class 2 8 years ago I had a new tyre fitted to the back axle of my skip wagon, less than 2 minutes later I had caught it on the weigh bridge and put a 8" split in the sidewall…ooops! :smiley:

Dropped at Tesco Didcot a few weeks back. Walked out the drivers rest room with keys in pocket, clipboard and iPad in one hand and a brew in the other.

Put the clipboard and iPad in the wheel to get keys out of my pocket. Opened door, climbed up with my brew and started engine. Moved off, heard a thud so slammed on. No idea what it was so jumped out to have a look.

Clipboard was smashed under the tyre but the iPad was only just wedged. Still works and escaped with only a tiny dent… Winner!

Once tried to inflate a super single with a 20p coin op forecourt airline.

Turning Cat Deeley down :cry: :cry:

Not believing Cat when she told me this, and therefore having the chance to take advantage of her in such a distressed state

I left the yard in Charlton on my way to Chalons sur Soane in France, where I was tipping and reloading for Milan. I left earlier than usual and got a boat almost straight away so was in Calais well before dark. Usually this job was a through the night run so we would be at the customer in time for Custom’s Clearance in the morning. I pushed on as far as I could and pulled in for a couple of hours kip just a little way up the road from the delivery.

I set off in the morning and I got almost to the bottom of Mont Blanc before it clicked that I had forgotten to unload the stuff for Chalons and reload the stuff for Milan, so I spun around and put the hammer down and only just made it in time to clear Customs that day, nobody at the firm needed to know about my brain ■■■■, so I kept my mouth shut and got away with it :blush:
