Haha don’t make laugh. Just walked into Tesco Livingston to be greeted by the sight of a driver sprawled over the seats, boots up on the seat, and gut hanging from under his polo shirt. Pure slob.
I’m glad its once in a blue moon I have to enter these cattle pens.
yeah maybe I looked a bit of a mess but you have to bear in mind I have been here 3 yrs waiting to get 4 pallets off 
Add to that the bull ■■■■ corner. The bunch of stobart loud mouths spouting balls add loud as humanly possible. Really doing my ■■■■ in.
Drivers slag Stobarts / Stobarts uniform off but at least they look respectful and smart, unlike said slob.
Nothing worse then the mucky top / trakki bottoms brigade

Not guilty of trackies but my white shirt was clean this morning and was grubby after the first handball delivery.

Yep. Dress smart, look good, get respect (or at least give yourself the best chance).
First impressions count on a day to day basis, walk into someones premises looking like a slob and they generally won’t take you that seriously. Fact of life.

Not a real trucker if the Hi vis that you drive in isn’t 98% covered in fifth wheel grease…

agreed! I came across one of these oafs on a drop in Leeds today! Trainers, Trackie bottoms and a T-Shirt… looked like a right bone idle slob!
I always wear a navy blue polo neck shirt, dark Cargo (work) pants and a clean (ish) pair of boots! its not too much effort to take a little pride in yourself and what you do!
B…
Yep Tesco livi ■■■■ hole. Best thing you can do is hand your keys in and sprawl out across the seats for a sleep. Ps notice that the coffee machine shares a wall with the toilet can you see the pipes? No wonder the stuff tastes like ■■■■

You can tell who’s grubby from doing abit of work (you) to those who haven’t changed or washed for a few days .

Totally agree 100%
You have to earn respect and a few let the rest of us down.
Never forget seeing a truck in purfleet, driver had hand written on cardboard “show us your bits” and stuck it on his window, deserving of respect?
I think that if you do your job well and show some manners on the road respect is given by some.

We will always be let down by the minority nothing to do about that, the fat slob is probably representing a multi-million pound operation at the end of the day his employer should provide a proper uniform and see that he wears it, the filthy hi viz coat and bobble hat (in July) and we have no chance of respect.
Why are we even talking about earning their respect? When a company see’s fit to eject a driver from his cab, take his keys and make him wait in a room with nothing more than a few plastic chairs and perhaps a coffee machine for periods that can reach several hours I don’t think the question should be how can we earn their respect, but rather how can they treat us less like animals in the first place.
I’ve lived in Canada for over 4 years now and delivered to hundreds of RDC’s both here and in the USA, the land of the lawsuit and all that, and never once has it even being suggested that a driver can’t sit in his truck, sleep in his truck or even run the engine while being tipped. The idea that they’d all sit in a waiting room like good little plebs would be a ridiculous one.
Drivers in the UK are treat like ■■■ because they know they can get away with it, British drivers wont say a thing and if they do it’ll be a small minority while the majority sit back moaning about it but lacking the backbone to do a thing, and dressing smartly at the Tesco goods in window wont change a thing, you’ll still be sitting next to your lesser dressed truck drivers and waiting just as long as him because to a large company like that, you’re just an inconvenient commodity to be treat in such a manner.
I was in there on Tuesday, am no gona beat about the bush here… i want to pump that polish burd with the jet black hair behind the desk.
She is always chewing like a maddy on chewing gum, mon and chew on my plums doll 
Well said ‘robinhood’…

I fully agree there mate.Not making excuses here coz there are none.I started driving 1970/2001and in that time the job changed a lot.In the 70s it was virtually impossible to stay clean and smart as you were s/r every load in all weathers and I think possibly the dirty sruffy drivers relate back to those day.I know I personally washed/showered[were poss] not many about in those days.As I spent nearly all my time on flats up till late 80s it was hard work to appear presentable.These days with the motors c/siders etc.it shouldn’t be a problem to be reasonably tidy.After all sop and waters cheap enough.

unfortunately she wasn’t on duty. It was the hardened Bathgate battleaxe brigade on shift.
Re robinhood. Yes I see your point, but once upon a time there was nice new comfy seats at Livingston. They are all ripped now. Will the management rush to replace them when drivers have their muddy work boots up on them. I know I wouldn’t.
