Rumours from another drivers. histories you heard from other drivers/basicly when lorry drivers take break,or waiting .for loading/unloading,start talk about everything .some time as well rumours about VOSA ,redundace and much more.What you heard from another drivers
told this one on here before but its priceless,
when i worked as a shunter on irish ferries we had a supervisor called frank who had seen and done it all as a hgv driver…
anyway he tells us about how he was one day on his way to anglesey with a empty low loader and had stopped for a break. low and behold out of the sky comes a helicopter and lands in the field next to him. pilot runs over and explains he is lost and is looking for holyhead, our hero frank gives him the low down on the route before coming up with a fantastic idea…
“tell you what mate”, frank says, “im going that way myself, why dont you land the helicopter on the low loader and i will take you there?”.
pilot does just that and the happy duo drive off into the sunset towards anglesey (obviously)…
bloke was a loon but he could tell some great stories 
Can you please thank Frank for me. That lift got me out of big trouble

I can quite often be found sat outside our canteen when some of our lot are in there, it makes my ears bleed the amount of drivel that comes out of their mouths, It might sound miserable but I would rather be on my own in silence than listen to folk who talk ■■■■ like their life depends on it.

ah but that means 100,000,000 have done selection and just them 10,000,000 had passed! 
I should know, as I pass or fail them!

And if the Hearld of Free Enterprise had been caught by everyone who “just missed it”, it’d have sank under the weight.
It’s worse when they don’t take the hint as you walk away 
but insist on following you to carry on with the jackanory tale
I’ve heard two pieces of lorry driver ■■■■■■■■ in the last two days, the old one about the VOSA fine for £30 on each turn of the trailer winding handle and a new one about CCTV footage of a well-known female truck driver performing oral ■■■ on a fellow employee in the toilets while both were wearing only socks appearing on YouTube and then being withdrawn.
The first one I had heard many times before, but the second one was entirely new to me.
It’s gone up it was a tenner a turn last time I heard it.
If its the same female driver who may have been made redundant perhaps she has turned to ■■■■ to make a few quid.
I did hear stobart is about to go bust too.
When I was a plant operator, you knew old timer ■■■■■■■■ was coming when they mentioned driving a “cabless D8 and 'box.” If you didn’t walk away or change the subject you were sucked into a fantasy world where they’d left all manner of broken down plant in lakes and reservoirs because “there wasn’t time to fix them”…*
I’m sure before I nodded off something about “losing half hours pay if you stopped for a pi55” was mentioned.
*List included 30RBs, D8 and 'box, Foden halfcab dumper, Ford D Series,etc etc…
stobarts have gone bust

If I had a quid for every driver I’ve met that’s run out of time at an RDC and had two bays either side coned off etc etc I’d be living in the Caribbean surrounded by scantily clad women drinking cocktails!

Pmsl
I’d be that rich I’d have anything I wanted!
ive been with my company for 9 years this year and according to the driver orrical we’ve lost 1 of our contracts twice yearly in those 9 years. 
I remember a bloke coming in on a Monday morning several years ago,telling us while we were waiting to load how his mate had helped him to do this and helped him to do that.What he didn’t know,was what the rest of us knew.His so called mate was bonking his Missus. 
And that wasn’t a rumour.
