Why don't more UK firms double man?

I’m struggling to think of a single reason I’d consider double manning…

Bloody hell you look good in a skirt and a bit of slap on. :laughing:

And i might win the lottery Monkeyman!
Be OK for a little while, but I’m sure after the whining and ■■■■■■■■ starts, she’ll tell me to shut up! :open_mouth:

Knew of guy a while ago used to work for Intereco Barcelona and they occasionally double manned for Portugal/Calais. One night the new guy he was with lay asleep in the top bunk ■■■■■■ and sh@t himself…only it all went down my mates back and sleeve as he was driving…another reason not to double man… :grimacing:

Doubt she’ll be that interested. Looks like she’s already got her MAN. [emoji12]

aye I know ye said uk firms but I started on double manning when I came to Canada .never met the auld boy before but after a wee while watching him drive I reconned I was in safe hands and he did the same wae me :laughing: .he ran days I ran nights full 11hrs driving each ,and fuel/toilets etc at shift changes .once we had the rules sorted out ,ie no loud music,agreed on which bunk we would have /which food was a non no in the cab or eaten at stops / and in my case to stop swearing as much (was teamed with an ex pastor)we use to outrun the fuelcards at first until they raised the daily limit …but the big thing was once out of the cab on home time no interaction at all wae each other so we wouldn’t get near killing each other. overall enjoyed it and the money made ,would I do it again ,yup but only with my ex team and he said the same. :smiley:

I see what you did there :stuck_out_tongue:

It was the fact that a brand new pack of Andrex had been opened and used that really annoyed me. Not the cost, but the principle that you shouldn’t do it.

I had to use something after jerking off and emptying my nut sack looking at the pictures of the bird above in front of the MAN.

Ken.

Really ■■? nowt special so must be the hi viz that does it for you then ! :slight_smile:

When ya doin multi drop .and your on salad. job n finish.and ya running up and down stairs with a sack truck swetin ya balls off.ya need a second man. Cos the slower ya go the Less ya on per hr.but now I recently passed my class 1 I can get myself a job where I’m on my jacks. And I can take it easy. No more struggling with stairs. And no more rushing around.no more back streets in city’s tryin to get a class 2 up um But the reason for a second man on nights that I do. is security. Imagine what it’s like to do your delivery’s on a Friday night in Manchester. You have to put up with the revellers and the ignorant taxi’s and ya second man going on down ya lughole about the price of cheese. Can’t wait be on my own.hee hee.

Someone summon immigrant please. Maybe he can translate that ^^^^

I used to do it on tank transporters, but I was an invincible teenager at the height of my powers double manning with another likeminded invincible teenager so it was party central. Now I’ve grown up (allegedly) I couldn’t think of anything worse tbh.

with lea Enfield 303 s? Lol :grimacing: SLR around fally or sennelager? :laughing:

There’s not enough room for all my stuff let alone another drivers, plus I like my space. It was bad enough last week when I had a couple of days off. Left my unit all nice and clean and dieseled up. Came back and it’d been used, left unwashed, half the tank empty, seat adjusted, steering wheel adjusted, footprints on my carpet, mud in the footwell, odometer changed from Km to Miles (took me ages to work out how to change it back), all my pens and lighters moved from their place, rubbish in the door space, empty litre coke bottle chucked in the passenger well, and he’d even opened up my new pack of Andrex and used half a roll. I was livid. Added another 30 minutes to my salaried day getting it ready to use.

that’s because your name isn’t in lights above the windscreen :grimacing:
