.Bonus points if that just adds to your superiority complex. :smiling_imp: :laughing:

Oh that again. Your belief in my superiority you mean? As I have pointed out MORE THAN ONCE a very many times now that my WHOLE F***ING POINT is that I’m not special, I’ve not done anything amazing, and had a fairly standard career by industry standards which why is why your ‘trucking elite’ belief is a load of delusional nonsense from a clearly confused bitter old man. How many times do I have to SPECIFICALLY POST something before it finally enters that ridiculous brick you’ve got for a brain?

To be fair and totally honest I first drove a truck at age 12 when with Dad :smiley: So nice try but I’ve spent more of my life in and around this industry already than you ever did, or will

Yeah, I do. Since I was training to be a mechanic and you just seem to have been a talentless dogsbody, at best. Probably more like tea boy.

While some of us obviously didn’t have that luxury of the enthusiastic mentor Father introducing you to the industry at 12.
More like the exact opposite.
Doing everything in his power to keep me away from it.

I actually detect a note of stupid desperation in your bs in that you know I for one was stitched up in this face fits double standards charade.I easily outran you in the job from day one at the equivalent age and wasn’t given fair recognition or appreciation of it by the regime which infests this industry.
With all your Dad’s help in supposedly starting you off supposedly at the age of 12 :unamused: you didn’t get a start driving trucks until long after the equivalent age that I did.You didn’t even know whether you were a mechanic or a driver.When at least I knew that I was never going to be the engineer that my Dad wanted me to be from day 1 and then did something about it.
But passing first part City and Guilds mechanical engineering with credit ( as opposed to just home ‘mechanic’ as a hobby ) wasn’t a bad effort to fill in the time waiting for the relevant ages and licences and obviously no tea boy.
How I’d have liked to have been there to gloat and laugh at your Class 1 failure when you got back from the test centre.Probably even an easy provincial location at that not all the traffic and aggro providing scope for failure of taking it at Yeading/Hayes.

Everything from that point was just as I’ve said you were one of the winners in being handed a privileged fast tracked career progression at the expense of others who should have been way ahead of you.
The proof is all there in your own words and the OP can choose which one is more credible.
Your vindictive bs defence isn’t doing your case any favours.
If anything it’s hopefully adding weight to my warnings to the OP.
Don’t accept any of the diversionary ‘experience’ bs to get where he wants to be to be leap frogged by those like you.
Regardless of all that I hope you get back to the job ASAP.

Finally! I got to you! Job done!

Carryfast:

Didn’t really amount to anything much did you, despite being handed all the advantages and being technically a better driver than me and being a truck driver years before me in a much easier going time with a massive international scene (I had to go to Holland and Ireland to get jobs for my Euro fix. Which I did because I got off my arse and looked for opportunities). But of course, everyone else’s fault, you’re blameless. Better luck in the next life chap!

I do love how desperate you are to get to me :slight_smile: Like failing one test 22 years ago bugs me. Or one accident 10 years ago. Top tip- learn to let the past go, it really frees you mentally. My past f**k ups are simply entertaining stories now, that I tell often because I don’t take myself very seriously. Say want you want about what I’ve done, I’ve said it about myself many times. You see unlike you I’m self critical & self aware. As I’ve told you more than once, come on listen this time- you can tell wether something will bug me by how you came to know it about me. If I told you, which goes for everything, it’s not exactly a secret now is it :smiley:

Carryfast:

I think it’s probably years since anyone took what you say seriously on this forum. Still baffles me why you persist with this premodded account and don’t start again.

Thanks, we shall see. Still no answer about your licence or how I got to be in this golden elite. Fascinated to know your theory.

And let’s mention this again

You’re the one that thinks I’m special. I’m touched by the compliment but I’m really not special, just a fairly average driver who’s been around a bit and f***ed up a few times. Nothing more nothing less.

What an insight in to your lives. Carryfast berates 8wheeler for saying the best jobs SHOULD go to the drivers who have the years at the company, under their belts. Then bemoans Switch and others who “have 10 years less experience” than him getting the cream jobs.
He talks about a ‘face fit’ mentality when, and I’ve seen this in places I’ve worked. It’s more like a ‘face don’t fit’ world we live in. Some people really need to look at their attitudes to others. There’s a diffence between not taking crap and being an arse.
I’ve never had ‘experience’ when starting a new type of driving, be it supermarket, pallet work, trunking, tanker or anything else. But I’ve always got any job I’ve gone for. It’s all in your attitude.

100%. When I went to Virginia the full extent of my truck driving was U.K. - Ireland, agency, HSF channel hopping to Belgium and Holland. Second week working for Virginia I was heading to Portugal for the first time ever in my year old Scania R500 with a brand new fridge. They didn’t know me from Adam, just liked my attitude.

:bulb: Could we keep to the topic at hand please?

:bulb: Otherwise… if the willy waving show continues, we’ll simply lock it.

Your choice. :wink:

As a newbie looking to work predominantly days, is this a good start?
Anyone here a class 2 tipper driver? What’s your experience… :slight_smile:

Passed my class 2 last year and was put in a piece of crap 2008 P380. After a couple of weeks they put me in their freshest tipper 2013 380 aswell, real nice truck drove it for another couple of months. Passed my class 1 and was upgraded to a kitted out low cab R500 - aboslute beauty of a machine.
Tipper driving is easy, there is a lot of rushing at times but I never took stupid risks. Class 2 tippers are like big vans with a bad turning circle, there’s basically zero tail swing and you can see aroud you pretty well. I always enjoyed it and think its a great start. Again though as a lot say here, its probably dependant on the company.

Experience prior - agricultural work driving tractors etc. which benefited but there’s really not much to it. Know how to use your diff locks and expect to get stuck, it’s inevitable lol! Watch out for overhead cables and tip on flat ground and you should be fine!

113

If you have the chance at tipper work and dont mind being dirty then do it. There is no need to fly around like your bum is on fire. Take time and slowly learn more about the job.

As I said ‘if’ you’re supposedly the born driver that you say you are you’d know that almost 3 years working in a factory ain’t an easy option.

You know I did nearly 3 years as an apprentice as I told you. I also told you much of it was outside lying in mud. You pottering abut inside in a factory seems the easy option to me. So try again. Also where did I claim to be a ‘born driver’?

Carryfast:
At which point in your career you were doing the difficult job of driving buses and then coaches around Europe.
Then fast tracked onto Class 1 international truck driving from that.

If you’re that frail a few boxes did you in you wouldn’t have lasted 5 minutes as a coach driver in the jobs I did. Also, define ‘fast tracked’, you seem to have conveniently forgotten again it was my 30’s before I got proper euro work, after years of working day at night for Nolan’s and HSF and years on agency in London.

Carryfast:
Oh and you didn’t answer the question why two Class 1 tests.

Because come on you really aren’t quite as stupid as this makes you sound! Why does anyone do more than one? :smiley:

Carryfast:
Now why don’t you do something constructive and find some ads for tipper and bulker drivers new drivers with no experience welcome.

Nah, you couldn’t find a job for yourself so would I bother. I’ll continue to do comstructive things like help out new drivers with advice while you fill their heads with negative bull s h i t

You had your fair share of luck, you just didn’t build on it and gave up far too easily. But you have led a pretty easy life, not least financially being able to retire on medical grounds at 40 so just stop whinging.

Have a nice evening

An artic load floor to ceiling and front to back is more than a few boxes.Tipping one and loading another every shift is twice as much as that multiplied by 5 shifts in a week.
Yeah you’re right the fact that you don’t even know that or you think that working in a factory is easy, especially for a driver who needs to be out on the road shows how much of a driver you really are.
Yes I had a clue as to why you needed the two Class 1 tests in that regard.You seemed to want to evade the question for some reason.

Yeah right so financially well off I’ve now got to re mortgage my parents’ hard earned legacy to stay afloat.

Advice like telling new drivers don’t be fooled by anyone telling them that accepting all the zb will guarantee better things later you mean.Then posting the job adverts to prove the bs face fits experience issue that infests the industry.
In which an ex bus driver class 1 test failure gets fast tracked onto international work by 30 while others are treated like mugs still lumbered with zb work at 40 and still battling with the ‘experience’ word at every turn when trying to move on at that stage.
Remind me was that the International truck driving by 30 or the international coach driving before that.As opposed to the 5 years of zb work I put up with on the council.Some experience requirements are obviously more equal than others. :unamused:

Ever thought it was the chip rather than face fits?

Passing the class 1 first time is as much luck as judgement. I passed first time with a near flawless drive until literally 10 minutes from the finish line when luck came into play. Without luck at that point I’d have failed.
