you know what they say about tipper drivers
theyve got their brains in their buckets
and you know what else they say
tipper drivers dont see sense
they see loads
Chewyboy:
We can on usually ■■■■ past everyone when we are loaded. As for people slagging tipper work off I’ve done multi drop general and abroad work and think tipper work is the best work as someone above said done by 4. No nights out. Get to go rallying in the tips. I currently do tipper work in london. And only thing I don’t like is the trafficAnd that my scania has such a crap turning circle
I also like it when a big job finishes (new shopping centre,housing estate etc) and you can say “I did the (whatever) in/out of that place”. A bit like a builder or chippy I suppose. I think it’s one of the most skilfull rigid driving jobs as you have to reverse right upto the point where the material’s needed to unload;no forklift to carry it etc…

What buckets? Anyone who works in the aggregate game knows the days of loading yourself are over due to CITB ticket regs.
I was on mixers for years, did 3 days on tippers and scared myself to death that much i had to go back on mixers for another 10 years to recover, 
- Why do tipper drivers always get in the way on site
- Do they always have to say “Can i just nip in before you as i can tip quicker”
- Why are tipper drivers experts at getting them to fall over sideways
Well I enjoyed my 20+ years on tipper’s, plenty of time waiting at the tar plant to load and then a few hours at t’other end trying to get rid of it. No problem getting breaks in on that job! 
Paid at 27% of earnings as well, would go back to it tomorrow if the missus wasn’t so poorly (well maybe not tomorrow, it’s sunday ha ha).

Nah a couple of my mates do it they all jacked trucks in to drive coaches fair play to them one does Blackbird Leys night bus in oxford all i can say is leaving me in a room with Stobarts Mo for a week would be less punishment and less frightening
tipper drivers,[zb] vermin.
Didnt you get the job then lol
nothing to do with didnt he could’nt!!!
It’s jealousy I tell you, nothing else
Tippers aint a job for everyone, it’s too hard for them, and far too dirty for most.
We’re scum I’m used to it now. I dont care though as i know Us bulkers could do their job, but they couldn’t do ours
We are a breed apart

well after going back to general for a week or so a while back & that was really good money i know what side my breads buttered , i work for a good company & on bulk blower work everyday is different like i said good money on the general but far more satisfaction on the blower
While some of you lot are stuck with strobing lights at Goole or the box room at fenny lock while you’re tipping , i get to walk about & do as i please while i unload & i don’t have to listen to other drivers BS who feel the need to have to talk to you while i have a cuppa !
& i think you’ll find we’re not all just tipper & bulker drivers we’re elite bulk haulage specialists

Tippers are better jobs round here than mixers; Mixer firm round here will expect drivers to always put the company before their homelife,breaks when it suits customers,and expect us to keep delivering materials 'cos they won’t turn work down or put in for tomorrow (they get disappointed when it’s my turn on premix)
Tippers get in the way because tw*t groundworkers order materials, then looked surprised when they turn up “ur, don’t know where the building sands got to go drive.” Well, how about by the mixer where the old pile is?
