The one thing that presses my buttons and makes horns grow out of my head are [zb] heads in trucks that pull in on me after they have ‘‘almost’’ overtook me, …I hate those basts with a passion.and want to commit them to a horrible death.

Nimbies that moan about nasty juggernauts trundling though their poxy village, they bought a house by a road, what did they expect was going to happen ?
Nimbies that buy a house near an airport, factory, transport depot, train station or farm, then moan about the noise or smell of manure or cows mooing.
The milking parlour machine wakes them up, well chuff off back to where you came from then, instead of making people jobless with your action committees and reduced house prices because of bell ringers waking you up.
Thick media reporters that say a Hgv caused an accident but in fact it was a van.
Media that report it was a rogue lorry driver who ignored the weight or speed limit.
Councils that are ignorant of all aspects of road transport, to please their potential voters, they ban lorries and shut free Lgv parking.
Being in the only job in the country where being early is looked upon as a sin by the people that ordered the delivery.
Inconsiderate parking, the ones that leave a gap just too small for you to get in.
Professional drivers that don’t seem to know how to put diesel or adblue into a vehicle they have just used.
Playing “guess what the agency driver ate last night” from a smorgasbord of droppings spread over the floor, steering wheel & dashboard.
Having your questions to loaders/goods in operatives being answered by a shrug of the shoulders.
There’s more.
drivers that leave pallets stood up on 1 side of the trailer with nothing next to it…easy to use 2 pallets to block it off…
Oo oo… Drivers who leave the truck next to the fuel pump, but not to diesel up, but so they have less distance to walk to go inside and get themselves a coffee! Absolute ■■■■ take in my opinion and anyone that does it is a total bellend
Certain lorry drivers who call themselves truckers.
3 suddenly had family members become ill this past weekend, so either couldn’t work or could only do local day work.
1 had an accident and is taking medication that says do not use heavy machinery, so he cant work.
conveniently they all should be ok to work after this weekend, we’ll see what happens when new years eve/day rolls around…
2 of the same people complain about doing long distance or night driving, thats 90% of our work. 1 complains he cant sleep in a lorry, or during the day, or on a ferry. These are the same people who complain about lack of money come payday.
All of them moan how hard and dirty the work is, although it’s mentioned alot when they came for interviews by the manager and our experienced drivers.
The interfering old git who complained I was getting a diesel pump nozzle dirty a few weeks ago because I was wearing gloves when refuellling. Stop being such a tart, wear the plastic mitts the garages provide if you’re that worried.
sounds like tris is being fattist,lol
Talking to TalkTalk this afternoon to get my promised freebie wound me up today.
People who drive on their sidelights in the dark amongst many
Wrapping Christmas presents
Since reaching the grand old age of 50 this year and since I seem to have mellowed a lot over recent years, normally I don’t get to wound up when I’m out and about but the last couple of weeks seems to a bit of an exception.
Lets start with high intensity strobes, got stuck behind a wide load on the A90 and the ■■■■■■ had 4 of these ■■■■■■ things blinding anything that got close, thank ■■■■ it wasn’t dark, then yesterday on the 74 another fanny with 2 old tractors on a semi low with two of these thing trying to burn a hole in my eyeballs christ my wagon and drag had more axles and was longer.
Moving on, what’s the score with tossers, sorry drivers that think its ok to block fuel pumps, if you need a break, a coffee, a crap or anything else park in the ■■■■■■ lorry park and ■■■■■■ walk, lazy ■■■■■■■■■■■■ dont give me any of that pish about it doesn’t matter cos I’m payed by the hour, if you hourly rate is that bad that your need to rip the ■■■■ then get a decent job, me, I just want to get on and either home to ma family or parked up some where decent not sitting waiting at the ■■■■■ pumps for some arse hole to move.
And another thing, at 4 'o’clock in the ■■■■■■ morning why the ■■■■ do tossers, sorry drivers think its ok to fire up their motor and sit there for over half an hour with their radio blaring as well, ignorant pricks.
I’m on a roll now, next on the list is slip roads, it’s bad enough that drivers and I include lorry drivers in this don’t know how to enter a motorway or dc but it now seems some of them are having problems leaving as well, M5 on monday afternoon prick in a focus approaching his cut off decides it ok to slow to 40 in the inside lane, he’s not even at the second marker and the bloody slip road is about a mile ■■■■■ long , wagons going all directions trying to get out of his way then an hour or so later a ■■■■■■,sorry driver in a 18 tonner nearly misses his cut off so instead of carrying on he decides its a good idea to stand on the brakes and nearly end up broadside, again wagons and cars going all directions trying to get out of his way, ■■■■■■ moron .
Anyway that’s enough for now, two weeks off to wind back down 
Cars joining motorway Coming along side, expecting you to pull out when you can’t, then put foot down when on the motorway. Just put foot down and get in front before!!! Mongs!

LOL - I’ve come to the conclusion that these drivers are oblivious to the fact we are speed limited!

I think the majority are, having mentioned it to a few non truck driving friends seperatly they seem genuinley suprised at the fact its physically limited, they thought the “limited to 52/56” was a voluntary thing and we’d promised we wouldn’t drive faster even if we could.
they’re still mongs, especially the ones that come racing down the slip road, are ahead of you to start with, then slow down once they see you to cause the problem when they try to merge.
The hopeless night time truck parking situation in most of europe annoys me,its very difficult to get a truck parked after 19.00 most evening’s on motorway service areas across europe,Germany in particular has a night time truck parking crisis,every autohof, motorway service area and parking area is usually full up by about 18.00 most evenings!

Coming back up the M1 yesterday, it was like the Wacky Races… Had a white car stop at the end of a slip road near Notthingham causing traffic to scatter as people tried to avoid the chaos and that was only one thing that happened.
Aberdeen Angus Nairn… the Jock-in-a-frock who owns his section of the M6 
Fully grown adults who feel the need to have to push the button at pedestrian crossings on roads that are crossable without using the lights. I’m sure we all had the green cross code drummed into us at school and on TV. Have no problem with kids using them though

Scum that refuse to move into an empty outside lane when you indicate to overtake and they’re approaching you in the middle lane about to overtake you.
