, so arrives at one of our depots , 1st time so no one about so parks it in a bay , finished for day , so gets a shower and settles down for a read of paper , 30 mins or so later the shunter commes screaming up and shouts , yes shouts your not stopping there for the night , yep why , you canāt youāll have too move , I canāt Iām now out of hours , right Iām zb locking your tri off , so he locks it off and shouts report too office in morn 
, so rings up my office and tells them , well there are signs up everywhere saying you must drop the tri and park the unit up separately 
, but heās not on about that heās saying I canāt park where Iām parked but itās the first time Iāve been here , there was no- one about , and there are no other parking spaces , the bloody night shift shunters there are a pain in the bloody ā ā ā , are you in the wAy , no , .
Right in the morn go into the office and ask them if they will remove the castel, then just put it in the services from now on , but donāt get involved in any arguments .
Why do 99% of shunters have a bloody big chip on there shoulders , I mean sticking a castle nut on , the blokes a bloody idiot , thereās a way of talking to people and shouting wonāt get you any cooperation , never a dull moment in this job
It must be you, never had an issue but I wouldnāt Park up in a yard Iāve never been in before without asking. but I try to avoid grief, unlike you.
It would indeed appear that he should have thrown a certain dummy out of a large pram. 
You were out of hours and refused to move so he put something on your trailer so you couldnāt move? Not the sharpest file in the drawer was he?
Was this a 3rd party company or your own yard? You let an aggrieved third party company āshunterā interfere with the running gear of your trailer whilst you were on rest? Should have told him to get get the ā ā ā ā off. Yard gestapo small brains, big egos arenāt dvsa.
If it was your own, just laugh. Firm shooting themselves in the foot locking off their own motor to make a point.
Sometimes wonder if life would be better if some mothers had left the dummy iin the pram and threw the baby out

I find shunters can go 1 of 2 ways with not much in between. There are the ones who are no better than jumped up security/goods in staff and try and find a reason to have a go at visiting drivers for anything and be generally as grumpy as they can. Then thereās ones who totally pleasant and happy and happy to help if you ask them a question or park somewhere you shouldnāt be, they will explain what to do in a civilised manner.

Because they have to deal day in and day out with morons like you Dozy!
You asked for that. Iād like to say Iām sorry for typing it but I would be lying.

No way are 99/100 shunters. Being subjected to drivers like dozyā¦ surely this shunters was given a heads up this troll was coming

Had some half wit pull into my yard tonight and heās only gone and parked up on a bay without checking.
I asked him if he was stopping there to which he said āyepā
Told him Iām not having that and locked his trailer off and said he better report to the office in the morning.
Drivers know they are not allowed to park under trailers on the bay overnight.
Anyone else had the pleasure of dozy drivers like this?

Got to love these shunters, yard speed limit 5mph, trucks hazard lights on, but Shunter flies around flat out burning rubber like Jenson Button first off the grid .
Some act like they own the company .

I love hitting 25mph+ whilst chasing a driver to tell him to slow downā¦ As long as we donāt speed in front of the offices, we get away with it.
Canāt park that there drive.
Donāt forget to unclip those curtains drive.
And donāt ask me where a particular trailer is parked. They all have a number on the front and back. For you to look for.
I do particularly enjoy plotseling van taal te veranderen, as er weer zoān Engelse vrachtauto binnenkomt, met een chauffeur die geen Engelse spreekt. Het kantoor is dan altijd aan de andere kantā¦
Er zijn een of twee tussen ons die nederlandstalig zijn.
