A couple of simple New Years resolutions which – I would love to think – all drivers will happily sign up to:-
I swear that, when using someone else’s lorry that I will,
a) always take all the cr#p out of the cab when I’ve finished and,
b) leave any straps etc as I find them – vis, neatly rolled and stored in the locker, not in a tangled jumble.
Yes, I’m fully aware that a decent driver will already do it, regardless, but you we can only drag the cretins up to our standard one step at a time. (Though, I sometimes think a quick clout around the head with a jack handle would be quicker, easier and better!)
Chip wrappers and other chip shop detritus lying around in other people’s cabs.
Instead I’ll be leaving kebab wrappers and Red Bull cans everywhere.
I will continue to move EVERYTHING… mirrors, seats, curtains, floor mats, heating controls, lumbar supports, armrests set to drop to the floor and move radio stations into positions that infuriate the regular driver. I’ll be making an extra special effort this year to get that blob of 5th wheel grease onto anything that looks expensive. Windscreen displays will continue to be tossed onto the bunk and anything like food or cans of pop left lying around, will continue to be viewed as fair game or a gift.

Oh and I will make sure the fuel tank is full too!!
It’s bloody annoying when after taking an odd day off, that the "decent agency driver " the planners said they would put on your truck for the day, can’t be arsed to re fuel it on returning to yard. We have on site fuel bunker too!!

I’m going to continue to be nice to nice people and continue to help decent folk…
I’m also going to give even less time to n@b heads and arrogant people,
And I am going to realise that staff drivers are equally as guilty when driving other drivers regular trucks, of leaving crap in the cab so I will therefore not cry like a baby until I know the facts.
My new years resolution is to be much nicer on the forum and not be so argumentative.

Oh well. I tried
NB Win-stone, I just used your post for the purpose of general hilarity. Dont take offence
