They could have plates made up to put in their windscreens stating ‘I’m Gay’. Then the statistics can be collected to see if we have enough of them driving trucks.
As if it matters.
I thought they were the ones with the little blue lights?
GAY ROADWAYS,SPECIALIZING IN DISTRIBUTION OF BALLET ACCESSORIES,UP AND DOWN THE BY!!WAYS OF BRITAIN.HA!HA!
LOOK OUT EDDIE STOBART COMPETION ON ITS WAY UP.NUFF SAID!!.
Fine with gays as long as they don’t advertise it, why do we have top put up with Pride events? Just do what you want and don’t influence others with it. We make gay jokes at work when a driver ends up stopping for breaks in certain laybys known for Vaseline injections, doesn’t mean they are gay it’s just a laugh. One bloke went to Wimbledon yesterday and has had grief about relationships with the Wombles…
But to the other guys,
I do not go to pride - But I do support some of it as I have to put up with men kissing their girls in public, holding hands and being romantic but because I am not normal I have to hidden or shot and I am fed-up with it.
I do not go with every man I see - like you don’t go with all the girls. I do not get offended with the jokes and I join in, But I do not take to being threatened on-line.I am now coming off this site and hopefully my loyal mates on here will stay in contact with me and help me with my driving questions.
Thanks again guys. Gay Trucker that is now going to be Straight and undercover and hopefully won’t get beaten up.

Have I missed something? I see no threats since his last post.
I guess it is true what they say about gays being drama queens then.
I imagine the threats have come through the PM system or email and because the site rules prohibit posting threats and opinions, this may be the end of the thread, for me working with a puff is like working with a fat bloke.
You either accept it or not
We cannot stop PM messages getting through, if we could than Roger Ewen would not still be sending me prompts by PM
If the threats which GT claims have been made, in fact came via the PM System, and as he has chosen not to name and shame the senders of those PM,s. Then that leaves all of those who have posted on this thread, I being one of them, who were not openly supportive of GT, under suspicion. If he reads this post, may I suggest that he contacts the Powers that Be of this site, and tell them who sent the threatening PM,s. I express my personal opinion, based on what I see/read, and have learned via my life,s experiences. I do not make any threats via this system, or in my posts. There are many things that I could not be accused of; Amongst them is the fact that I have never stood by, or “passed on the other side” when someone of whatever color/ race/creed/or ■■■■■■ persuasion, is being bullied. Since an early age I have hated bullies with a passion. So if you don,t mind GT.Please take the suspicion which you have placed on me, (and others), by your insinuation, away. By contacting the Forum Controllers, and making clear to them who it was that made those threats.
In conclusion I must say this. GT has not helped his own case. Openly advertising his ■■■■■■ preferences via the medium of a Sign in his cab; By sending a letter relating to his personal lifestyle choice to T&D; By openly extolling the virtues of the Newcastle Gay Scene on this thread. Those who openly derided him for this, have now earned themselves the sobriquet of “knuckle-draggers”, from those who would claim to be more intellectually advanced and open-minded, amongst us.
i’ve read through this whole topic, and was gonna post my thoughts, but just sussed, that its not worth it. who cares 1 way or the other on someones ■■■■■■■■■, if they can do the job, seriously, does it matter
there are some seriously bigoted people on here though, i was quite surprised at the level of some of the hate. perhaps its a generation thing maybe, who knows?
its good to have a forum, where people are prepared to post their thoughts so openly, i’m all for freedom of speech, and wether i agree or not, with someone elses views, it should be allowed to carry on, this thread, has certainly given me a different point of view, of some of the people that have posted on this thread.
Please don’t shoot me down in flames here but I think there Is too many innueno’s in the post’s. My own thoughts is someone is trying to see what response they get?
It just seems like this persons posts are too ‘ooer mrs, chase me’.
Or maybe someone trying to see how ‘PC’ this site is?
Not sure but that’s my opinion.

Anyone else seen it? A homosexual guy looking to get on the bendies. I thought it was a refreshing change. We don’t have enough homosexuals driving trucks, or ethnic minorities or women either. Infact i think this Industry is ‘institutionallly racist, homophobic and sexist’ , it seems to prefer older , unskilled or non proffesional males. Sometimes i wonder, do employers do this on purpose. Also why are trucks not designed with disabled drivers in mind, its a fact there are quite a few disabled drivers in full time employment. There doesn’t seem to be any diversity in our job, i wonder why?
If you will pardon the pun, a refreshing change my bum! And thats the polite version. Irregardless of whatever politically correct laws you have to suffer in the UK, the fact remains that the majority of normal heterosexual males find homosexual males repugnant, myself included. Personally i would not knowingly work with someone who is homosexual. If they are such nice clean and decent people, why do so many of them hang around in gents toilets soliciting themselves? Just the smell in most Gents requires that a normal bloke does what is required then gets the hell out - homosexuals seem to enjoy the places.
Whao there Hombre!
With a name like that, and an attitude to match, I bet you really like reversing onto a rock hard pin! You just don’t want anyone to know do you?
You say you would “…not knowingly work with someone who is homosexual.” I see what you mean, but believe me, there’s this trucker called “Hombre” who doesn’t know it yet, but he’s a queer as a tube of crisps… a real uphill gardener! He just doesn’t know it yet!

The more women idea seems ok just so long as they’re all under 25 and wear company uniform consisting of mini skirt and T shirt even (especially) if it’s raining.Preferably heterosexual but lesbians will be ok if they don’t mind working with a lesbian in a man’s body.
