Own Account Driver:
Birds of a feather and all that…
So you’re an own account driver because its the only way you’d ever get behind the wheel of a truck?

Imagine the scene.Beaver and his mate run down to Hams Hall yesterday afternoon. Decent weather, and my tight arsed mate all of a sudden turns into Santa and purchases me a 25p hot chocolate from the ’ deluxe ’ vending machine. Things are peaceful and relaxing…
Then all of a sudden there is a huge ’ bang ’ whilst a Howdens professional decides not to bother with his trailer legs.
Imagine the scene.
A driver drops a trailer and some dumb ■■■ clown takes a picture, runs home and posts it on TrucknetUK. Ffs grow up.So what? Have you never made a mistake? Did you give him a hand sort the trailer? No of course not. You just stood there like the usual company dummy laughing . Bet you’re the type of clown that runs around touting on people too!
eh Bet you ran to the office with your hand in the air like a school kid to let them know…boss boss guess what…
Where the hell did I leave my popcorn…?
Pork scratchings for me, I’m already on the beer! 
You can have some of mine. I got loads in plus a few beers and my mates are coming round to read his reply. Should be hilarious.

You know, if this was a colleague, then I understand your point. But another company at the same RDC or truckstop, where there are likely to be several different firms in there at any one time? Nope, sorry, that’s fair game

no no and thrice no, earlier in the thread we had referrals to Maoster/Beavers shared ■■■■ plug revelations, which was bad enough, now we’re into porking…

Only those suffering from the Downing Effect would think that.
I will try and answer some of your concerns Peter S.
Running home wasn’t an option because my Dunlop Blue Flash trainers probably wouldn’t last the 85 mile journey, plus I struggle with running because my huge knob bangs against my knees and hurts them. My assistance was not offered to the chap who dropped the trailer because he was overweight and needed the exercise, plus I was too busy ■■■■■■■ myself.
I am not a clown. Juddian is a clown (see his avatar). I am a handsome male model with a CE token which I gained by sending off 3 Kelloggs crunchy nut tokens.
Didn’t tell the boss because I didn’t see any Howdens gaffers knocking around at a Nestle site… As for mistakes, the only one in recent memory was banging your Mum against a recycling skip behind Matalan.
Please feel free to raise any more concerns you may have sweetheart

I’ve got no illusions of my own abilities. I’m even only a class 2 driver I regularly refer to myself as “Worlds Worst Lorry Driver”… But I do know how the world works today, and if you publicly ■■■■ something up, then you can expect to find yourself public being mocked on the Internet

I once needed a ■■■■■ stretching device, and i have one such item here which on receipt of 5 English pounds plus P@P, will accept Paypal, i will send on to you in a plain brown wrapper, its not had much use because being a straight to class 1 big boy i was already overendowed, all the boys told me through gritted teeth
I assure you my very good friend, blessed be all that worship here, that in no time at all you will have the largest of penile members and our good colleague, Peterus of the Penile Envy Society will then speak to you.
You know it makes sense, don’t be left on the shelf when other more well endowed Class 1 Phalli get the best work/lorry/pay/■■■■■■■■■■■■ join us in the Huge Member Massive brother.
FFS Clown. Just dropped my bloody cake because of you…

What’s almost as funny is that this helmet claims he has mates!!!
Juddian I’ve PM’d you my bank details, please make sure my package, reaches suitable size swiftly

Dropping a trailer on its nose isn’t a mistake. Forgetting to change the tacho mode is a mistake, forgetting to take the trailer plate off/on is a mistake, going in to Frankley services for diesel is a mistake. Dropping a trailer on its nose is incompetent.
He deserves to be laughed at, I wouldn’t help him either. I’ll lend anyone a hand but not some halfwit who can’t even do a very simple task that, as lorry drivers, we’ve done a thousand times before.

OK, maybe laugh, and think him a fool, but I`d still go over to help.
As an aside I do hate it when someone interrupts my pick-up/drop trailer routine. Always gotta double then triple check everything when disturbed.
A driver from a different firm was stood with us sharing the laughter. He said that this Howdens chap came hooning past him just shy of the roundabout which forced him to brake, all so that he could beat him into the entrance.
Rushing around like a ■■■ + being inconsiderate = dropped trailer and being humiliated.

Maybe Ill modify my thoughts in light of that then. Maybe I wouldnt be so keen to offer help.
