I like the ones doing surveys then ask for your postcode . Stafford starts with ST so i rattle this off quick STUP1D they write it down then some realize what its says. The daggers look i get me with a big grin on me face

How did this get from ‘So Tight they Squeak’ to Charity Chuggers ?Well, if a notice is up at work saying "(whoever) is doing a sponsored (whatever), I go into tight, chugger avoidance mode and dodge said person until after said event.
We must deliver to Jewish bakeries; When I go to dump the pallet liner and shrink wrap into their wheelie bins, they’re padlocked.
i think the bins will be locked to stop the local scrotes setting fire to them? or sleeping in them!
cannot remember the name of the company,but apparently the vehicles that do the cowley run for BMW swindon have had their bunks and night heaters taken out,thats only again what i have been told by a driver who will not go back there,he says they are a bunch of cowboys who also treat the drivers like crap
I had a blow-out on my drive-axle today, the bill from ATS was £861.71 and my boss is making me pay for that. 
Glasgow city council used to pay extra to have the radios removed from new vans to stop us sitting in them . so we wired up our own .

There was/still is a company near Cannock where the TM of a few years ago made sure that radios were removed from new trucks as he thought that they distracted the driver’s, CB’s were banned for the same reason. Never had a problem Myself really, though one firm I worked for didn’t pay for Bank Holidays until I mentioned the fact and all was well after that, most companies will try to save a shilling where they can and you cannot blame them for that as we all try to get things cheaper. I do remember one haulier who, allegedly, as a Christmas Bonus, gave his two driver’s a fiver between them to treat themselves in the pub.

I used to, I have many happy memories of leaping up and down on a three-extension tyre bar while clinging on to a trailer TIR cord, but I’m probably a bit too old for that nowadays.
one of my earlier gaffers wouldn’t buy soap to wash the lorries , he saved all the soapy water from his wife’s spin dryer in a drum .

Fair comment as long as they wasnt on left hand threads or Howard Tenens trailers.

If there are tin rattlers about, I’ll walk to the next entrance of a shopping centre to avoid them. I’ll also start a conversation with the wife or son when I hear “Big Issue?”
When I hear ‘big issue’, I say ‘bless you’.
Many years ago a small haulier/tight arse git (belive me a tight arsed haulier makes an old farmer look like a drunken sailor on leave when it comes to spending a few quid) I knew used to tell his drivers when turning right or left only let the indicators flash twice any more & it wears the bulbs out! this is true can’t name him as his sons are still in the business, but not quite as tight!
Years ago I worked for a short while for a Bradford haulier who paid £3.75 an hour.
Overtime was time and a half, and he rounded off the odd half pence.
I mentioned this and said he must be saving all of £90 per annum on halfpences.
He was straight out with his calculator but could not dispute the fact I was right.
But he did say it was fairer for each of us to lose a few pence per week than it was
for him to lose £90 per year.
