Turners

Saw this at soham,wounder what happend

An irresistible force met an immovable object is what happened. Except one of them wasn’t what it was pretending to be.

Like the maoster’s version which is probably what we should put on every accident form ever filled out.

Guessing either one hack of a bridge strike or its rolled over maybe into a crash barrier or similar. Certainly wouldn’t want to have been the driver!

Maybe it was a tramper and had been ■■■■■■■ all night in his sleep then tried to lite a ■■■ in the morning ? :open_mouth:

The second image is what the medics would call NFN and the military would call a SNAFU. Pretty much what you’d expect.

The first piccie shows an interesting shadow. Alien life form?
Or NFN again?

Hit a 7ft 6 bridge.

£9 is what caused it.

If that was a unit on our firm they’d try to straighten it with a club hammer and buff it with T-Cut.
Hope the driver is ok.

Ain’t that the bloody truth?

Turners have to have the worst drivers on the road, brain dead halfwits every single one of them. I’ve yet to have any first hand proof of anything different. Considering how many of their trucks are on the road that’s saying something.

I think the picture is quite self-explanatory. It was in an accident of course!

You’re bloody good, how the hell did you know he was on overtime when he did it?

Thinking about it more, it’s a Merc so it probably went over the tiniest bump in the road and did a 360º barrel roll of death at 2 MPH.

Jesus, I didn’t realise falling out of bed could do so much damage.

Bridge at Ely? Just down the road.

What the 9’ one

A couple of years ago, Turners drivers were on £7.10 per hour. It was only with the world’s most complicated “productivity bonus” scheme that it pumped the wage up to £8-£9 per hour.

As a company they’re massively reliant on the Poles. They probably have the largest reliance on EE drivers in the UK. Some of their depots don’t have a single British driver. Nothing against the EEs, but pay peanuts, and put questionable drivers on their seats, and it’s a recipe for disaster.

Horrible firm to work for. Huge “them and us” culture. Drivers to them are just scum, to be spoken down to, used, abused kept under control.

I did three weekends for them, I cannot argue with any of that, but shall add…The behind the counter worker/planner(not that depot), whatever she was, was Eastern European and had an awful attitude to the Brit drivers, would never acknowledge a good morning or any other kind of greeting, so I burst into opera one morning, just to get her attention :laughing: It worked…She asked me what my problem was, I told her it was her :laughing:

A more useless and badly organised place to work at, would be difficult to find…I was in on agency and the pay was goodish, but I would still not work there for £300 per weekend and that was 7 years ago…They asked me to wait for a bay to put the lorry on after being away for 2 days…I left it as far away from the building as I could, took the keys back, told them to poke it…I did get paid, which I was not expecting…I would rather be homeless and penniless before I would do that job.

Wow that’s a sweeping statement, err but a very true one. How they get insurance I don’t know
