White van man , frilly curtains and bad attitude!

Well I came across all three yesterday !
You know the sort ,white sprinter van , frilly pelmet / curtains , nameplate in the window .
Basically wannabe trucker but not even managed to get to the 7.5 tonne puddle jumper stage yet :grimacing:

Anyway I was running solo (bobtail ) , on the A38 going uphill overtaking 3 arctics took all of 20 seconds at a guess . Saw mr inadequate in his sprinter behind , anyway I pulled back into l/h lane after the overtake .
I’m sure it was Gareth hunt driving as he gave me the coffee bean shake for some reason as he passed :unamused:
I did actually kinda make my day really ,aren’t some people odd :grimacing:

as Jim Morrison said…’ People are Strange’ :astonished:

If he had his class 1, he would have been running with his faux crushed velvet curtains draped across the side windows, like the main screen at The Roxy circa 1971.

Which obviously would have prevented the OP from seeing his hand gesture.

Spot on kerragy :stuck_out_tongue: :grimacing:

It wasn’t you was it big vern? :wink:

At a guess, Id say because he was in a van.
If he had been in a 7.5 tonner then he’d have had a class 1 since he ā€œusually drives artics but is in the toy todayā€ like a puddle jumpers! :grimacing:

Can someone check the lost and found?
It appears Dan has lost his sense of humour

You certainly have lost your SOH Dan :confused: Anyway I wasn’t talking about sprinter pickups/ flatbeds :unamused: :stuck_out_tongue:

I had my Class 1 but drove vans for quite a while as that suited me at the time & was getting paid more for doing it ok I diet have the frilly pellet or curtains nor did I ever give the coffee bean handshake

Yes know what you mean.Far better some prick in a scania with two weeks training to hog the road!!!

Class 1 and don’t use it, because it’s a pain in the arse. It wasn’t me either. I’ve been and still am in Germany all week. I bet the OP pulled out in his unit, thinking he could fly past others sans trailer. And still crawled uphill at 53.00001 mph. Thus holding everyone with a brain up. Little ā– ā– ā– ā–  syndrome.

what sort of nerd has a name plate in there cab window ?
who the bloody hell wants to know the name of a hairy arsed trucker who seems to think the public need to see his or her name ?

funny odd balls driving trucks these days thats for sure name plates indeed, you will be telling me next they have there shiny sat nav on display as well just to complete the really nerd status

It was you in the van wishing you were driving a proper truck.

I keep meaning to get a numberate with Trevor on it for my windscreen.
My names not Trevor but it’s the kind of thing that would amuse me.

I’ve got a nameplate (leftover from my Earth#ine days where it’s practucally a tradition) but my boss calls me Harold. This is because our yard is known as Steptoes because of what we screen into the topsoil. :wink: :laughing:
