You always no when someone comes on here saying how good a job they have and laughing at everyone else it will always end like this a few months later. Now it will be slagging them off untill another job comes up then same thing happens again.
I donāt remember saying how great Stobartās is/was. As for slagging others offā¦well its great fun.
Just nipping for a shower. Actually, I wont bother.
A smelly, limping, unwashed, unemployed prick is ideal for securing work in December.

He says not, but at the end of the day heās still been sacked just before Christmas.
The prospect of spending the next few weeks/months/years? limping around with a terrible haircut is enough to bring even the strongest man down.

Hahaā¦some good replies! I was asked yesterday if I fancied doing a dayās shunting at a customers yard. There were 4 of us hauling ingotās out of Novelis in Warrington. I had just been loaded with a 25 tonne aluminium ingot, and was all strapped up on the weighbridge ready to go. It was a planner from a different Stobart depot who asked me if I wanted to do it.So I got sent home yesterday, and got a letter in the post today telling me that because I was already on ā extended probation ', due to a previous refusal to do a Tossco store delivery, and I have now refused the shunting request, I am sacked.
Although I admire you sticking to your guns, done myself in the past and paid the price, Iām wondering why you refused the shunting work and the Tescoās job?
The good spirit from you two genuinely warms my heart!
But donāt worry fellaās, beaverās are very clever. And wouldnāt chew a tree down, without another one ready to fell.
Muckles- I stuck to my guns because I think too many driverās take it in the rear. And I aint one of 'em.
I refused the Tossco delivery because cages are for parrotās. Not legendās like me.
And I refused the shunting job because I have BOTH front teeth, and have not worn the same baseball cap for the last 20 years.

So as a highly skilled and experienced HGV driver, you think Store deliveries and Shunting is beneath you then?
Wouldnāt say ā beneath me ā mate, but not jobs I have any interest in doing. Done my time on cage work. I passed CE to get away from that [zb]. Shunting is mind numbing and very boring IMO.
No point in shelling out Ā£2500, to do work that doesnāt interest me. And I am certainly not interested in working with immature planners.
I always found being put on shunting made a change from tramping, easy days work and yes some jobs are better than others but cages, pallets, bulk, timber, steel, cars, flightcases, itās just another load to deliver.
But agree about he childish planners, there are ways of getting people to do a job and ways to run them up the wrong way.
The place I worked where I had to do shunting every so often was a small family run haulage company, no more than 20 trucks, the boss used to ask if you could do a job not tell you and he done it himself and would get out and do it himself if he had to.
Beaver, Iām sure something will crop up fairly quick for you mate. Not my area where you are but my bro-in-law is driving for DHL on the Travis-Perkins contract out of Burtonwood and he says itās great. Compared to Jaguar Land-Rover (which is also DHL) itās head and shoulders above. Planners are adults and no ridiculous rules (well no more than anywhere else).
You strike me as the kind of bloke who isnāt going to enjoy it at a big firm though mate. Reckon you would prefer a smaller firm who know you and appreciate your ermmmmmā¦unique humour 
and who you would be happy going that extra mile for cos you know they appreciate it.
Keep posting on here though mate, between you and Dipper Dave itās always interesting to see who will post the most disturbing commentā¦I think we all know itās usually DD!!!
Good luck!!
