Hiya…i think its what ever you do is wrong…like the weight restriction near Bath…WE DON’T WANT TRUCKS,
it dose get you down…i moved house years ago, i was driving a 4 wheeler Daf at the time, my boss just said
i’ll leave you enpty for the weekend to move house, Half way through unloading up turns PLOD.
whats going on, he muttered, i said removals why, he told me someone had reported the LORRY parked in
the avenue. i said look its a van full of furniture. thats a furniture van, when its enpty it’ll move away.
that was a good start to the newish house.
Now when its truck fest how many people go to that■■? and i’ll lay money down they’re not all lorry drivers
going to that, the same as when the commercial show was at earl,s court you could’nt move for people.
now you go to Canada or the USA you’ll see trucks parked in posh driveways out side big houses, the cafes say
cars also welcome…i think thats just a couple of things to …ss you off with this country.

Over here you are treated as a professional people are more likely to give way to you on the roads and even in the services you are treated better and with a bit of respect. Some companies let you take the truck home on resets some don’t depends who you work for if it’s your own truck crack on.

They can love or hate the industry but fact is without lorrys and drivers they wouldn’t have anything, everything they have has been delivered at some stage :slight_smile:

To be honest, that’s a bit of a rubbish argument we’ve all heard more times than any of us care to remember. The other side of the argument is that without them choosing to buy all these things, you’d have nothing to deliver - hence, no job.

I tend to find that as long as you’re friendly and ok with others, they’ll be the same with you. There are exceptions from this rule - some people are absolutely miserable ■■■■■, but to be honest, they’re miserable ■■■■■ with everyone, regardless of occupational choices. I just love to wind the miserable people up by making sure they can’t miss me being polite and chirpy when I say ‘hello’.
