Muckaway:
Our newest arrivals are 08 reg P340s, ex Thames Materials. No traces of cyclist brain matter on them though but the interiors wont win any prizes at Truckfest.
No surprises there some of the drivers seemed to have an allergy to soap/shower gel 
muckaway when do you get to drive a tipper the amount of time u spend on here 
if u r paid by the load you must earn peanuts 
Good job your boss aint a daf fan he could buy x s walsh lorrys. Not one of them could drive nails with a good hammer.

My boss has been told Hino now do a Euro 6, is this true? Heās been quoted silly money for 5 new Scanias and with the stupid wait for a bonnet release cable for my wagon (2 weeks), broken diff, broken propshaft and a blown engine on itās sister wagon, theyāre looking to get a demo from Hino. Been quoted as Ā£40k per wagon less than Scania, with weighers, reversing cameras, auto sheets etc all thrown in.
Are those the two from Mitchell? their drivers work hard and they donāt hang about.
Only got one ex Mitchell wagon, thatās been the most reliable of the lot.
What is the law regarding carrying slurry in tippers? I refuse to as I donāt trust my tailgate but what if you have those twistlocks in addition to a tailgate pin/auto lock? I know tips arenāt meant to accept slurry unless they have a proper bay to dry it or to mix with drier materials (it destabilises tips apparently). A driver got caught today with said material after some āescapedā so I thought Iād ask the question.
My dad started monday up yourway guy got lorrys near gaydon all lateish scanias. Funny enough said they were running real wet ā ā ā ā .
Id day use your loaf if you got a nice square good quality body like a thompsom they will hold water in. A beaten up old rock body or a shaged out ali ran on muck and concrete no

A few years ago had a job which was carting dredged material from small stream/river had āturnbucklesā fitted halfway up the tailboard & builders plastic sheet on the floor(prevented the crap from sticking) but had to be tipped at a designated tip & dried out, they reckoned it was a very good soil supplement!

A lot of people say Iād rather be on the dole than work for stobarts Iād rather sign on than work for s Walsh I couldnāt hack the embarrassment of people seeing me. Donāt know what they pay but heard its ā ā ā ā ā ā I donāt fancy the flat cap and wifebeater vest that seems to me the uniform.
Is it true the London firms are non too friendly with regards to āoutsidersā getting work in their area? Thereās a mmtm story around here that you donāt venture past J1 of the M40.
Keep yer doors locked & yer jack handle on the dash!
