when you flash [ your lights 
] and put your hand up to other trucks from our fleet to a man all our daf driving lads respond but not one of our lads in m.a.ns do , you can go down the m5 and every night the daf lads give you a flash and a cheery wave but the m.a.n lads just gaze ahead as if you dont exist .
one of lifes mysterys i suppose ,
Maybe the MAN drivers all have their curtains tied forward in the cab,like so many poncy drivers nowadays. 
That way it’s like a horse wearing blinkers,they can only see straight ahead 
I passed a Gardner European DAF ssc near Genk a few weeks ago with the curtains tied so far forward,I don’t think he could see anything out of the sides.
Geeeeez I`m starting to get RSI with waving at the wilkos wagons everytime I pass another 1
theres over 130 of em at the DC1 in worksop alone
I`d hate to be a nobbies or eddies driver, your arm would be waving that much people would think you where trying to fly like a bird 
Easy answer to that one Pierre…
leave the place and then after five years like myself you won`t recognise anybody because of the high turnover and hence RSI will fade 
Try working for Salvesens, there’s thousands of the buggers, and no escape.

Couple of years ago I had a call from the agency to go to Canute’s in Bedwas to take a lorry up to Gloucester, pick up a load and then take it to Wilko’s in Magor.
Driving up the motorway all these lorries were flashing me, so I stopped and had a wander round to see what was wrong but the wagon was fine.
How was I to know that Canute had the Wilko’s contract?
