Using the best part of any Lorry when I’ve finished work…Slamming the fxxxxxx DOOR.
Likes. Enjoying the return drive back when all my drops are complete
dislikes. vanessa feltz on the radio at 5am. 
.
I have to admit to having a secret pleasure of when creeping up to pass the usual elephant race in front of me and some plobber squeezes an extra click or 2 to try and close the gap to stop me from coming back in,just hitting the must make boat button,and taking their elbows off as I ■■■■ all over them,getting to the front of the queue,and then just toodling off into the sunset a couple of clicks above the leader…childish?? who cares,it amuses me no end.best not doing so just before a weighbridge when the vosa car is watching though… 
obviously the craic running north and south over here,plus the a75 racetrack coming to and from the boats where the cb has its merits for blind overtaking and such…makes for a more interesting ride than plobbing along at 52…
the downside is mostly everything else especially in the uk.always a chore best avoided heading to or coming from abroad.
oh and as previously mentioned,opening a window a few clicks before Calais port,humming the dambuster tune whilst lobbing out the truckers tizer at various targets moving or otherwise…
I love what I do.
I do not like other people.
Sums up my life.
■■■■ you.

I love what I do.I do not like other people.
Sums up my life.
[zb] you.
+1…man after my own heart…couldn’t have said it better…

Really. That is why I drive a truck. Somebody pays me, to be on my own all day. And I am not stuck in the same place all day. I get to treat forklift drivers with so much disdain that they think I’m their mate…
I don’t like people. Never have. I’m just good at pretending. It makes the world go round.
Until it really matters. .
Dislikes ; drivers wearing hiviz eating a meal
in the cafe and wearing them driving, they look like knobs reflecting away, look at me.

Dont forget Dashboard Cameras
Dislikes 9hr reduced rest after a 15hr day when it involves going home. Dislikes M25
Likes the fact that even though I’m paid for in average 60-65hrs a week I only do about 25-30 hrs actual work the rest I’m driving on a reasonably clear road with the music I want to listen to, and getting paid for it.

You know many workplaces have piped music. Paying you to listen to the radio 65 hours a week, seated and to the exclusion of doing almost anything else, really sounds like something the Devil might do to you for fun.
25-30 hours of real work would almost make a full-time job for somebody. To be paid another 35-40 hours to sit in a box and not to go home after your real work is done, sounds like a tough hand to be dealt. Even prisoners on day-release probably have it better, and we do it to them for a punishment.

I said my music, not the radio, piped music in a factory isn’t my choice, and I enjoy driving, I quite often go for a drive on my days off, so driving when the road is reasonably clear especially when the sun is out doesn’t seem like work to me.
I like that the office never call me. Only time i am on the phone with them is when i have called them to ask a question. I hate the 15 minutes i have to spend every morning listening to fellow drivers whinge about the job. I hate the fact that i dont have the balls to say to them,“if you hate it so much ■■■■ off somewhere else then!”
Likes: variety of work, good boss, small family company, decent wonga, get all over the country, left to get on with it, meeting people from different countries and having a chat, even like my iveco
Dislikes: some of the British ■■■■■■■■■ I get lumbered with at times, London, not enough European work, and trailers over 4m high
