once worked with a bloke who was the biggest liar you could ever meet.
one excuse for been late one monday was that he was on a special mission with the T As and if they had not whinched him down from the helicopter in to the yard he would not of made it at all.
same bloke once in pub and telling tales of old and a bloke came up to him and joined in conversation.they soon agreed they had done all europe together and were reeling off crap after crap.one went to toilet and other bloke said to me i aint a clue who that bloke is.
last few years i just ignore folk some think im rude but it keeps me free from the all the dross.

As the title. All this crap about the sas being chalked off and driving trucks in the Olympics and going to a athletes party. Just why do fellow drivers bother?
I’d imagine for the same reason lorry drivers always find fault in other lorry drivers. whether its mocking their driving, their poor acquaintance with telling the truth, the fact that they work for the “wrong” company, the fact that they take pride in their job, that they obey speed limits etc etc. they all think they know better than everyone else.nobody is as good at the job as they are. nobody works harder than they do.
Long periods spent on your own with nobody to correct you on all the ■■■■■■■■ you think of means that you end up so opinionated you just can’t accept that you are ever wrong.
Of course,for some a big part of it is they secretly hate having to work such stupid shifts, such long hours just to make the same wage as someone in an office makes for only mon-fri 9-5. they are secretly deeply ashamed that they are not smart enough/not able for other reasons to do any other job. as such they embellish themself to appear better than they really are.
Is that adequate Psychological profiling? or was it a rhetorical question?
That’s the nature of the job, I guess. all human life is here.
easy way to shut them up…just say speaky no english in your best polish accent or german accent…usually shuts them up…works for me when shunting trailors and a driver whos trailor i just dropping off starts up something like “did you hear about last week what happened to me” I usually just shrug my shoulders and say something simlar or have earphones in and dont hear them or even talk crap into my 2 way radio…

Often done that when I was on Foreign regd left hookers, used to go into places and listen to the “bloody foreigners” routine in waiting rooms etc, among a couple of the more gobbier drivers, and I would just stare into space like I didn’t understand anything they said, when it was time to leave I would look at them with a big grin and say “Well see you again lads” their faces were a picture 
After reading a few posts from a certain member on a couple of threads lately, the question could be Why do lorry drivers write so much ■■■■■ ?

So is this why it’s normally the gobby drivers complaining about only meeting Polish workers everywhere they go.

This is absolutely SPOT on fella. I know it’s barely January but that could be a contender for post of 2013
Funny that, for people that don’t talk a lot you all have a lot to say…
You’ll all be the quiet reserved intellectual types I see in the rdc’s I take it.
So pray tell me why do you all post on a messageboard/forum where no one can look you in the eye.

Everybody on this forum should read the the above post and look into the bathroom mirror! if the post touched a nerve then maybe its time to do something with your life!
I went to do a collection just the otherday and as I got out of the lorry I walked around the front of it and as I started to move towards the warehouse doors this guy who had spoke to me a few times in the previous months remembered my face and waved me in and offered me a cup of coffee.
So I walk in thinking okkk his made me a cup of coffee this can’t be too bad surely. So I stand there chatting to him while drinking my coffee and then oh dear yes the bull came out.
The story’s was
- I was driving oneday and I knew I was over limit I had quite a few glasses of wine etc. Within 10 mins of leaving, i went up the road and a copper pulled me. I blew green. He got funny so I told him to F off (the story went on and on but I wasn’t really listening after that point)
Then I briefly turned my attention back on
- This was the best one but oh how it dragged on. I was out on the Razzle and got in a fight with somebody then this women copper got hold of me I pushed her away and 3 men coppers came and I kicked her when she came back then I hit 2 of the 3 and none of them could get me down they had to phone for back up :lol;
Yes I think that was the longest 15 mins of my life. I soon made an excuse to leave although I wish I had done it sooner :lol;

It isn’t just the bullshippers that do my nut in, it’s the gob [zb] s in truckstop bars or caffs that have to shout so everybody can hear them, I went for a quietpint at Carnforth ts the other week, this guy was trying to impress the (embarassed) barmaid and had an opinion on everything, at the same time managed to slag off every minority you can think of, his younger mate who worked for the same firm just encouraged him by laughing at all his crap jokes, felt like decking the mouthy [zb]
, I’m a bit older and wiser now
I don’t think I well ever step foot in that bar again. Went for a pint a few weeks back and all I could hear was this gobby wee pollock driver. There was about ten of them all hanging on his every (shouted) word. Complete [zb] pollock [zb].
I have a feeling I know the guy know a few of the Pollocks drivers.

“Any way must crack on”
Usually works for me …
