GOOD LUCK IN THE FUTURE ROB DO KEP IN TOUCH
Wheel Nut:
There are too many morons with delusions of grandeur and power.We load steel out of a steelworks, the company had discussions with the health and safety team in the steelworks and came up with an agreed plan.
Before we arrive on site, we must park on the road outside
and open the sliding roof, this normally means loosening the tension on the side curtains.
Drivers are not allowed to climb on their trailers to secure loads
Drivers must not drive on site with rear doors opened or not properly secured, see above, about roof.
Earlier this week, I went into the steelworks, to load for France. I had already opened my roof at the previous customer as i had to unload through the roof.
I weighed in and reported to the office, the load you want is at another site within the complex, she explained. You follow the map and keep to the internal roads.
I drove down around the site, and found the loading bay, I then proceeded to get dressed up in full body clothing, safety boots, dayglo vests hard hat with chin strap, ear plugs, full safety goggles and leather gloves to walk into the office
I was followed by a bloke with a dayglo vest and it said security on it.
āIs that your truck driver?ā Do you mean the one I have just parked outside?
āYes, have you just driven from the top yard?ā I have I reply. Than you will be aware of site regulations, you have not secured your doors properly.
He showed me a letter stating that all drivers had to abide by the site rules, I then showed him a letter from his company telling drivers that roofs must be opened before entering the site.That letter is wrong he said, Well if I have a letter form the company I am loading at, I have to follow the insructions, I have never seen the site rules you are showing me. what do you want me to do?
When you come on site you must report to the traffic office, they will tell you where to load. If you are loading in the top yard, you must open your roof, if you are loading down here you must open both curtains. But you have driven down from the top with your doors not secured.
I have actually driven from Manchester like that, I told him, but the doors are closed. But because the top lintel is part of the sliding roof, he decided that the doors are not secure. I had to close the roof before he would let me have loading tickets
Im still waiting for a definitive answer. That particular load consisted of 8 pallets from the bottom yard, then secure the load without climbing on the trailer. Then close the curtains and doors,
I then had to drive to the top yard, climb on the trailer
To say im confused about the loading procedure is an understatement
And how they can refuse access to my trailer to secure my load for which I am responsible for. They let you use a wheeled stepladder and a gantry system to allow fastening the load on. Who the hell are these people who invent these stupid rules?
be interested to know which steel works gave you the run a round?
Good on you Rob, if there were a few more of us who stood up to these weasels who think there so high and mighty wouldnt it be a better industry to work in, my so called best mate was a driver for about 5 years then last month took a job in the office, I was in the pub last night and he bearly said two words to me, when I asked him what his problem was he said āwell all you want to do is talk about is things youve seen out on the road this week and other boring things to do with drivingā I proptly answered with āOH right well ok ill take myself outside and sit in the carpark on my own as your far to good to be seen sitting having a pint with your best mate of 15 years now that your a traffic planner or whatever your fancy title might beā think he is a Archbold Mark in the making
Good read there Rob, good luck anyway
Donāt blame you on your decision Rob. I can well sympathise with what happened. I can say that I too have looked at ways out. It sure donāt seem to get any better, worse if anything.

So youāll be putting your mark on this thread as well. 
Come off it, and do what you are a driver, what else will you do, loads of jobs just pick the one you want and if that does not work out, pick another, good luck mate and brill diary hope to see one on job hunting

Arent they just what you need 
Corby used to be like that, i used to load tilts there, and you werent allowed to go from 1 shed to another without putting the roof back on [zb] hard work, though i used to use a couple of straps tensioned between front and back to save putting all the poles back in every time.
You made the right call there by the sound of things Rob, right bunch of numptys they sound like, it makes you wonder how british industrsy survives with people like that running it, i cant beleave weve got them all in transport.
Good luck with the future and all that
Great read Rob, good luck in whatever you do. 
well
tell us about your week

Over the past few months Iāve received a number of PMās from folks saying that the pic links have been dead. This has been because I do some re-arranging of the files on my site where the pics were hosted. It was a long and tedious task but all the pic links have been changed and should all be back to normal.
While Iām on the subject of my diary Iāve been mulling over knocking a book up like Neilās done, with all new content of course but colour pics and books donāt go together well in terms of production costs so would anyone be interested in future diaries on CD-ROM ?
Have you thought about putting it into a .PDF file of some sort??
You can then add the pictures you want, plus you can stick them on a CD

Is a pdf file an Adobe Acrobat thingy? If so, I have Adobe Acrobat Reader and purposely avoid clicking on pdf links as I find them really annoying and they takes ages to load up. Can you explain to me what advantages making the diaries in pdf would have for me and others over putting them on a CD-ROM ?
