When Joe Public rings up and complains about, in my line of work, “a stone/brick etc has blown off the top of the lorry and cracked my windscreen” or simply “a stone [zb] up off the road” etc, why do so many companies just apologize and send a cheque in the post for whatever amount the “victim” dreams up? My employer nearly always pays out even if there’s evidence the vehicle was empty, not in that place at that time etc.I’ll give you £20 for his phone number
I’ll give £21.-

I thought it was a halo, but it must be the Eminox coupled to the big cat that makes that glow…

tipper work for me is local stuff runnung the same route maybe 5+ times a day which may explain that to some tippers always seem to have their foot down, we get used to the roads we are driving…

How the hell does a thread starting off asking why the management take the side of complaining callers before supporting its employees get around to members arguing between themselves as to which category of drivers is better than another??
The original question was answered by the OP in the third reply which was from himself & it’s got into a right tangle now with the OP even adding to it!!

My answer was how myself and my colleagues interpret it BB. Surely there must come a time when the companies’ image gets damaged by pleading guilty to any accusation thrown at it? Re. Drivers slagging each other off, it proves that many believe that tipper/skip/mixer drivers are a lower class of driver than any other.

You see more interesting places than doing RDC-Supermarket-RDC runs. And you don’t have to give your keys to a nobody and sit in a box room for 2 hours waiting to unload
Still doesn’t beat low loader driving though. Loading broken-down machines in crap, getting done for being wide or overweight, scattering mud and stones down the road, and lugging great rusty chains and heavy timbers about. Can’t beat it!
(Of course nowadays it’s all hydraulic knock-outs and ramps, and straps. Load of pansies!)
Happy New Year, if we get that far…

Hope you didn’t track the machines up over the sides of the trailer… Got told off during my plant ops course for doing that with a 360-it was the way I’d always watched the low loader drivers doing it when riding about with Dad
200mm ? - not much chance of them blowing off the back is there

There is no other way. Who’d knock out for a 360? It wasn’t the tracking up the side of the trailer that was the interesting bit. It was the spragging round whilst on it.
I used to load wheeled JCBs over the side too, using the bucket and back-acter, but I did turn one over unloading that way in Brentford. That surprised the shoppers!
Getting rollers on over the side was a great technique. You needed a lot of sleepers and a high curb. That is possibly why my back’s knackered now.
