44 Tonne Ton:
You can creep forward a few feet at a time, maybe 6 feet waiting a bit in between each move maybe a minute or so.
Can you?

Can you?
Yes you can but not by 6 feet…tacho gets a pulse after one full revolution of wheel
You then wait ten seconds and can edge forward again…i do it to shut doors when still on bay and needing to complete a 45
It’s not down to wheel revolutions, it just doesn’t register anything under 5 seconds driving…So long as you don’t knock it into recording you only need to wait a second or so between moves to make another. Handy in dock queues, that…And, as has been said above, for shutting doors…

I am in the fortunate position of being able to take my truck home but in the unfortunate position of having a weight limit in the village where i live so i park my truck for the weekend in a very well known layby on the A228 near Snodland.
One friday evening i pulled in to find only one space left right opposite where the tea van parks.
At this point i would like to point out that the owner of said tea van has “no parking” marked in the road which appears to have been painted on the road by the local council.
Now i have been using this layby for about 6 years without a problem and regularly bought food from him.
This particular weekend i was loaded for a delivery on monday and being i fridge driver the fridge was running as i was loaded with frozen chips. (and all you drivers who want to comment on fridges running at night…thats for another topic)
When i got back to my truck on sunday night i found a note on my windscreen telling me not to park there again![]()

He said the racket from my fridge gave him a headache all weekend(he only opens briefly on a saturday morning)
I now make a point of not buying anything off the ■■■■■■…laybys are there for the benefit of tired drivers be they car or truck…and if any of you know the layby i am on about there is usually plenty of room.As a post script…i did not know they pay so much to the council to use these laybys…i may be a little more sympathetic in future…but not if they get “arsey”
I’m a little bit puzzled by the ‘no parking’ sign being painted in a layby.
I’m even more puzzled that someone’s parking a loaded fridge up over a weekend.
I’m absolutely gobsmacked that you can acknowledge that laybys are for the use of tired drivers, yet you openly admit to parking your truck . . . in a busy layby . . . for the whole weekend.
Are these T-Coli merchants ever actually checked by food hygene people? How can someone be allowed to serve “food” yet pee in a bush, stub out a ■■■ and then go back to flipping whatever is burger shaped that they then want you to pay for? When a group of us run together and stop at a tea van, I like to stand with the others while they order food, and drink my own tea and eat my own food just to upset the Salmonella seller
Where do these e coli merchants go for a kack, i odnt see many portaloos near them .I think the money they pay is for a traders permit to operate in rest areas ,not to own them the freaks

I know that most (99.9%) in an area which is loosely the Notts/Derby’s/Leic’s border area are Gangster controlled. I know that most (99.9%) of the males* who staff these establishments are considered to be unemployable in virtually any other capacity.
I have very little reason to believe it’s any differant in any other part of the country.
Next time anyone orders food from these people, have a bit of fun & ask them why they’re working here.
*P.S. Most (99.9%) of the wimmin are ex massage parlour, there comes a time when they just get too old for it. Next time ‘Big Bertha’ wipes your slice under her armpits 'cos you expressed a preferance for butter, remember that a few short years ago, some trucker paid good money to be relieved of something other than hunger.
ive seen quite a few that have had a boxx sprayed on the ground and that is ware they have to park
the van should be registered with there local council,s enviromental health and they should also have there health and hygine cert on show which i belive has to be renewed every 2 to 3 years
if you realy want to ■■■■ them off ring the council and complain that he/she told you that you cannot park there if you are not buying anything if enough people complain they will have there licence revoked

Try telling that to all the “Skat-Always on Time” guys that are there every weekend…or the RTS german fridge guys…or some of the irish guys that park there…i could go on
when i worked at the old place i had a butty van being a ■■■ with me we had a row my break had finished an off i popped with the butty man looking quite pleased with himself little did he know that i noticed how wide this layby was so the week after i got my mate who was in the area with an artic to come with me i parked as close as i could to it an my mate in the artic parked right across the back of him so no one passing could see him he went mental we gave him some ■■■■■■■■ about the artic breaking down etc we sat there for an hr before we decided to get going the look on his face when we set off was mint and he was nice as pie to any of our lads after that

The differance is that thay are away from home kipping in said motors leagaly. wher you are not . If your boss wishes to base a motor in another area every weekend mabey he shud think about renting you some place to park im sure mr yates will accomodate your tuck for a fee you are lucky the t van dont give vosa the nod out of spite
I encountered the “owner” of the lay-by on A11, first one from M11 J9. Told me I should park my artic in the 52ft of spare space. When I declined she took a photo of wagon and phoned my firm. Cheered the planners up that day.
i do feel a bit guilty sometimes if i have to take a 45 in a layby with a tea van in it,so i might buy a mars bar or a can of pop just to be right.

That’s fine and i am sure my boss knows the law, but as long as he is happy for me to do it i will continue to do so

It’s not a question of anyone “wanting” to make it illegal. People are simply stating the fact that it IS illegal. Of course if you keep quiet about it and don’t do anything silly like mention it on an online forum I’m sure nobody will ever be any the wiser…

Guy in the layby near Newcastle airport goes ■■■■ if you park up and dont buy.

Do they feel guilty selling food poisoning though?
