“Every Lidl Helps”…

Tescos must be struggling to get any further quality drivers these days. :unamused:

He probably either was having a medical emergency or fell asleep. Until I knew all the facts I wouldn’t be keen to pass judgment.

Didn’t realise they had any dafs.

Own Account Driver:
Didn’t realise they had any dafs.

They have the odd few knocking about, their fuel tankers use Dafs and they do 56.

They’ve got one less running about now!!

Own Account Driver:

Been running them up here for a few years …Though i have saw a merc recently

I’ve had about 15 pints today… and still drive better than him.

Old Scuffer:

Shame - they are miles better than the Axors

Own Account Driver:
Didn’t realise they had any dafs.

Mostly DAFs since the 56 plates but there are some mercs too

Police are appealing to find the driver who was seen limping away from the scene.

I’m surprised the driver went fast enough to have an accident.I used to overtake the tesco and aldi truck every night on the whisky trail when i was on the fridges.

I always wonder why people buy houses right next to main roads I don’t know how they can relax in their own home I wouldn’t be able to.

It could be the case that some sort of medical emergency caused the crash and I’m sure we all wish the driver well should that be so.

However Tesco have reached the bottom of the barrel in terms of the “drivers” they now employ anyone who has a licence is now employed no questions asked as to previous history you show up pass a rudimentary practical test and an assessment drive and off you go with the usual consequences.

Idiotic phone call to the office include “my microlise has stopped working i don’t know where I am” “I’m not driving that truck my phone charger doesn’t work in it” “I’m not driving that truck as the door opens to far” “I’ve put 20 litres of adblu in the diesel tank will it be ok”

And so on, a gift of endless entertainment.

The key to that would be letting it all wash over you and enjoying a good laugh. I couldn’t put up with it as my tolerance of stupid isn’t high enough.

Many moons ago before the A66 was upgraded there was a house thats corner was inches from the carrageway theat it had marker boards on it …It was on the east bound side

I have a good relationship with the management, by this we both understand that they look after me and I look after them, a two way street so to speak.

Myself and a small number of other drivers get on with it and get the runs and the hours that we like, the idiots who moan and whinge can’t do this can’t do that just don’t get it, and thats fine by me, quid pro quo.

I have been in the game for 29 years I know whats required, most of the so called drivers I work with I quite honestly wouldn’t employ to push a brush around the yard, sad I know but thats own account transport.
