Just back from a trip to Ireland and was speaking to a couple of local drivers there not distance. they told me their boss has all his trucks monitored so he knows who not pulling his weight. Anyway they tell me he calls two of them into his office as he has noticed they have stopped for acouple of minutes about 12 times a day and asks them why seems always at same times. They reply to roll up there cigs he then tells them buy ready made or get the sack. What next they tell me when can we go for a P*ss.
Do you think this could happen over here or has it already
That story has been around for a few years now, only the company changes with each telling and it’s not always an Irish company, can be UK companies as well. I have even heard a Dutch driver telling it about his company.

I actually know one of the drivers and his TM but it was the owner that pulled him up

hm: 12 times X 2 minutes each - 24 minutes. So if I am the boss and you smoke roll-ups, I pay you for nearly half an hour for rolling the tobacco… And you are using my fuel for unnecessary stops and starts…
If that would be true, I would be on the boss’ side.
Yeah soz dude, i’m with the gaffer, roll 'em the night before and you good to go or buy a box of conventionals. I’ve employed a muslim driver in the past who had to stop and pray x times per day, I could live with this as it was trunking without much time pressure but rolling ciggies is a bit lame.
or the old boys used to do a night trunk with a piece of wood holding down the accelarator whilst steering from the top bunk with string attached to the steering wheel only jumped off the bunk when he got close to his destination must be true a mate of a mate told me down the pub and his dad was on the titanic
must be the new younger drivers,
i could roll one when going through road works.
this world is getting too perfect.
we wont be able to ring the missus next when sitting in the roadworks on the m6.
illegal to use the mobile.
what a load of cobblers this world and over eager police are becoming.
at least the police sacania shouldnt be able to get alongside to see you rolling up.
the perfect truck driver.
get on the motorway and put the cruise control on,kick off the clogs,make sure the coffee maker is filled with coffee and the cup on the ready for pouring,its easy as well,just steer with your knees,practice makes perfect,then roll a smoke,if your feeling stressed,put a bit of weed into it,that will calm your nerves.
and away with you.
any one of the older boys here ever try to roll one when changing gear in a mandator or one of those with the crash box.
more tobacco on the floor than in the cig.
