Tramping v day shift

Themoocher:
I don’t think I could handle living in truck mon-fri, with my geer in it.
Knowing someone in it all weekend ■■■■■■■ n w…g in my pit, for me to get in the next morning. Would do my head in.
Especially if was dirty and banged up.

Oohh ! You should not have said that mate.
Wait for the self righteous agency and/or night men who will tell you .:…
Just because you live in it, look after it as your own, keep.it as clean and tidy as your home (even though in effect it is just that, your home). …It is the firm’s truck, so they have the God given right to disrespect that leave it as a complete and utter ■■■■ hole, go through all your kit, (and maybe even as you say ‘■■■■■■■ and ■■■■■■■■ :smiley: ) so you should just ■■■■ it up mate basically.
We both know that if both me and you were using tramper’s designated trucks, if we were night men, we would treat them with respect, it makes life easier, avoids trouble, and makes life easier :bulb: but hey!.. you can not educate Pork! :unamused:

+1
Its a state of mind, and I don’t want to be in the state off mind that some of these agency/night Men are in :open_mouth: :open_mouth:
If it aint yours, and wasn’t company issue, then keep your thieving hands off :imp:

I don’t mind agency or what ever in my truck for a day if I’m on holiday.
If I’m off for the week I empty the truck.
I don’t know how hard it is to take ur boots off in the footwell and take your gash at the end of the day.
Was like last October was off for week come back and front bumber was ripped clean off on new 15 plate truck.
I couldn’t handle doing mon-fri and someone else in it all weekend would do my head in.
Would be like cab hopping as no way would leave all my gear in truck if didn’t know who was using it all weekend.

Overheard a planner having a row with one of our drivers the other day. Apparently he is going on a weeks holiday and doesnt want anyone using his truck.
Ive tried to explain to my colleagues how to the company the truck is the asset and the driver the liability after all we are just the fluffers stimulating the truck into action.

The last few times ive been off the relief driver has left the truck spotless, I always pass the praise on but doubt anyone in the office gives a flying penetration at a rolling doughnut.

Know your place, get the job done, toss it off as long as you can get away with it and the job gets so much easier.

I always locked up my kit in the overhead lockers, maps, gloves, sleeping bag, the lot if I was off, taking the locker keys off the keyring and taking them home.
Some say I was selfish but most agreed I was protecting my own stuff. If reliefs want maps go out and buy them like I did. We had a relief who liked sleeping in our lorries rather than going home so I did as much as possible to deter him from using mine, especially after I came in one morning and was told “hang on I’m not ready.” :unamused:

I once started my week to be told that my keys weren’t on the hook. Told them I’d just driven past my unit so I knew it was there. Got sent to the garage, in case they’d got them. No joy. Went back to the unit, curtains drawn, night heater running. Went to office who rang the cab phone, but it was turned off. Sent back to unit with instructions to hammer on the door. Got told to F off by Bogdan

Not you truck, my truck, I go to Doncaster.

Back to office.

Guy turns up at window.

Day man (agency) couldn’t be arsed to go home, so thought he’d help himself to my bed.

Stands scowling at me, despite being a day man, bod in the office apologises to him for having been woken up, and gives him another set of keys.

He slams mine down on the desk and tells me it needs refuelling.

Am I just over sensitive? By the way, I booked an hour after I parked up to clean the fridge, microwave and everything else he’d covered in excrement.

I’d have done his dentist a favour and knocked his ■■■■■■■ teeth out the dirty ■■■■ :unamused:
Or if I knew he had a car I would’ve wiped his excrement all over his front windscreen and all over his door handles and rear window.

They’re filthy. One recently must have been too thick to realise that you push the ashtray in on an MAN to open it, so he wrenched it out of the dash. I never open it as I use the Hella sockets. Ever since its been bust every single agency man has decided that as there’s an ashtray on show, they have to use it, and not even attempt to clean it. Office bods just shake their heads. Now if I was caught smoking in my unit, I’d get the boot.

Paul you’re a better bloke than me cos i couldn’t stand that ■■■■■■■■, as for that neanderthal agency bod his arse wouldn’t be have seen near the place again had he acted the mardy pubescent teen where i work.

I’ve noticed Lynchs’ grab wagons have sleeper cabs, most of which seem to be globetrotter spec. The ones around Oxford (I think on for Docwra) are out all week.

1hour? You should have asked them for some cash to buy a new duvet and bedding in town. If they wouldn’t play, you should have told them you would be back in 2 hours after you had gone home to wash your bedding …with pay
I would not have slept in my duvet after some dirty inconsiderate ignorant 2at had slept in, it or maybe I’ll also be accused of being over sensitve, I could not give a ■■■■.
It would maybe be irellavent anyway, as I would probably have got the sack after I’d decked the ■■■■ because of his ■■■■ poor attitude and disrespect :smiling_imp:

He hadn’t used my bedding. That comes home with me and goes straight in the washer.

i do tramping mon-fri but would love a day job but most of the money is crap unless on supermarket type work from what i can see,i know its horses for courses but starting work at 3am getting home at 2pm having to go to bed at 6pm to get enough sleep is pointless as my mrs gets in at 6 and thats when id want to be awake.my tramping work is mostly 6am starts to 6pm so normalish hours so a fai rly normal day only u cant go home! :confused:

That’s only 11 hours. Nap till 6 then sleep with your missus as say 10. Or just do what I did and sleep 1-2 hours a night until you keel over :neutral_face:
