Why is it...

Well I’m out in a class 1 this week (only a two axle length) but it’s been about 6 months since I last drove one, can I bullocks reverse it?

It turns and swings so quick because it shorter…I keep telling myself

British people pritty much hate each other on the hole. Its sad really but thats how it is. The other strange thing is the more hatful a british person is in there attitude towards migrates the even more hatful thay are towards there own fellow british people…?

You would think thay would like there fellow countrmen but thay really hate them just the same ? normally very lazy and mess there employers round really bad too if thay even have one.

Then go on that migrants are steeling there jobs. What thay really don’t like is the migrates are taking away there ability to abuse there employer who dose not have to put up with there ■■■■■■ behavor anymore. Thats what thay really don’t like. I worked with one for along time I got to know the raist mind very well from obvering him. He even went to a third world country and married asian woman ? He wanted her to be his servent that he could abuse really and no british woman would put up with his crap. Same situation just like with the employer again. onlt the other way round. He really was a total A hole. Was a born again christain too top it all off . Yet he hated everyone ?

That the only drivers that seem willing to watch a fellow driver into a tight spot are foreigners? What happened to the British helping one another!

That’s not true though is it.

Like others on this thread I’ve seen drivers struggling and gone over and helped without waiting to be asked, I’ve helped drivers into tight places, I’ve stopped traffic for drivers, on a couple of occasions I’ve been asked by new artic drivers if I would check that they’d coupled up correctly, I’ve been asked things like how to adjust the drivers seat to “where’s the bloody gear switch in this thing” and always tried to help.

I agree that these days there are far too many drivers who will stand and watch, but this notion that only foreign drivers will help another driver is simply not true, and frankly it ■■■■■■ me off a bit.

I am a Fleet Engineer in a shirt and tie for a truck hire company.
I was at Biffa Stoke Nevada Close last week. I have many years in the workshop and have done heavy recovery. There was a guy that was trying to back into Browns recycling yard, if I said the guy was having problems going back ward that was an under statement poor guy.
I asked him do you want be to back into the yard then onto the loading ramp, he was all but in tears and could not get out of his cab fast enough to let me do it for him.
I said watch me and you may learn, in in one and straight on the ramp. The guys in the yard said get him a brew, he got me a brew and a bacon ■■■■ and could not thank me enough for my help.
Cheers Welly

Ha ha why I am not surprised thanks for shareing your expirance glad its not just me thats noticed this. That is just what the guy I knew was like. i even heard him once say he was going start a smear campain behind someones back that thay were a ■■■ abuser of the worst kind and he ment of the worst kind :frowning: . and he ment it too !!! he was a real nasty pice of work.

to do that to someone who is inocent is beyond evil :frowning: I had to work with that guy for many many years. he made life a mirery in alot of ways for me. I came to learn the nasty side of the real him. What was scary was how so many people he had fooled into thinking he was a real decent nice fella. there was only me and a very few others that knew the true nature of the bloke.

Sorry to ruffle your feathers mate, the post was based purely on my own observations.
I have to admit that like you, I am happy to be the first to help.
It’s just a shame that many would rather watch someone crash and then laugh

+1, I help people out! On the notion that every now and then someone would do the same for me

I’d rather a lot of people didn’t get involved. Gets on my ■■■■ when reversing an eight wheeler in somewhere, that someone says “hard left/right” and I tell them it already is. So they call back “full lock”. ■■■■■■ me off, do they think if they call it something different then I suddenly get another turn of the wheel?
Great fun in this weather though, an 8w practically stood still whilst turning hard lock makes short work of a nice tarmac road. :smiling_imp: :laughing:

The best Christian died about two thousand years ago… :wink:
Luckily He left the manual behind as a guide how to live a life like His. Sounds like the people you’re talking about haven’t read it (enough…).
It sounds like this thread:- some stand and laugh after you’ve messed things up. I like to offer to help, but I’m new to the game (2 and a half years), so I only offer when I know how to do something.

They may have read it - but I don’t think they understood it :smiley:

I made the error or trying to be helpful at a site by assisting a fella into a tight space between two parked units and trailers. And as its been said before, some people just don’t understand the word STOP… even when shouted directly next to the driver and emphasised with the word F…N STOP!!!. The result was he put the trailer through the back fence and went and reported to the desk claiming that I had caused the damage. Long story short it got back to my gaffer who was expecting me to pay the bill… needless to say that wasn’t about to happen and got sacked… do you think I get involved now■■?
