Why are agency drivers referred to as “limpers”?

Because of their limps.

Why are agency drivers referred to as “limpers”?

For some fill drivers not all the time like new agency and fulll time drivers.They worry about competition between drivers.Mainly more driver hates anpther drivers than less qualificated self.

I’m interested to know too; I’ve never once specifically seen an agency driver limping. I’ve seen the carrier bag, but never the limp…

I must admit when i see people with a limp i have a wee smile to myself because of stuff said on this site .

P.s i dont know them from adam so could be anybody , before i get lynched .

It’s probably more a reflection on the insecure person using the term, substitute limper for Irish/[zb]/[zb]/Woman/Pole/Flip Flop ect… and you get a true picture of their ilk.

some fulltimers mean it in jest,others take it seriously and actually mean what they say,the ones who take it seriously are basically sad little men who have nothing better to do,the kind of people who I do not think would have the bottle to say what they think to an agency drivers face,and yes I am a full timer but have been agency myself,i do not have a problem with agency drivers and try to help where I can,live and let live is what I say,lifes to short

Might be cos the agency guy has done the run in one go,and he’s stiffened up being in the same place for ages ,where the full time crew has stopped 10 times for a coffee and a ■■■ to hang the job out… :unamused:

:open_mouth: Jeeez H mate, lighten up ffs. :unamused:
You are reading far too much into it if you genuinely do think that, here’s a revelation for you… wait for it…it is BANTER among drivers. :bulb:
The ones that take it seriously have a sense of humour deficiency :bulb:

For the record my best mate of 30+ years is an agency limper (ok he does not limp) wears an earpiece, and commits the biggest crime against Trucker fashion (wears his hi viz while driving) and I rip the ■■■■ out of him, as he does me, it aint ■■■■■■ real :bulb: :unamused:

When truckers join the “PC and Easily Offended” Brigade, its fair to say we are doomed. I love limpers…

And their greasy hair, and their carrier bags…

Freddie - FTW

And their Bluetooth that’s superglued to their head

What’s the score with the gold plated earring look too?

When did having a bit of banter become such a problem in the workplace?
It seems everybody has become so sensitive to how they are addressed, if it’s good fun really whats the problem?
Some of the people who’ve ripped the ■■■■ out of me are also the ones that have gone out of their way to help me out. :smiley:

They get those from the agency for 12 months service along with a brand spanking new Lidl or Aldi bag for life.

Cheers Chris.

I always had a sneaking suspicion it was an anchoring point for their syrup.

EJA style. (Elton John Agency look).

I walk with a lisp and talk with a limp.
Got a silver sleeper in me left lug ole.
So what does that make me then?
Edit.
Apart from a ■■■■■

It’s a term of endearment factualised by being fairly accurate on numerous occasions due to poor seating position and lack of experience. Not true in all cases but there are enough examples of dodgy limpers to cement the stereotype.

Bit like seeing a woman of a certain weight and expecting her to have a massive ■■■■■■■, akin to throwing a sausage up an alleyway. In reality I’ve found the opposite to be truer. They may have all the right curves in all the wrong places but a nice tight ■■■■■ is a given.

Problem is though Uncle Dave, when the curves are a little too voluptuous, going into battle from the rear requires a large sabre.

Mrs B used to be quite accessible from behind, however with the inevitable passage of time, her buttocks have lost their once vice like grip.

I tie them to her ■■■■■ now round the front.

Hope you are not using rope,not fit for purpose nowadays according to the powers that be.
All loads must be strapped.

He always gets DVSA in first so they can check the load is good to go.
