Dolph:
I would love reverse challenge with some of you Big mouths anti EE here. Car, van, class 2 or class 1 I’m all in.
P.S. On my last job I had minimum of 6 backup at bays per shift, regardless of season(heavy winter, sun blinded, fog), time of day, exhaustion etc. in a 22m+ truck. And every month they rotated pick up places, so it was different every time.
Do such reversing contests exist at truck shows ?
Don’t think so, but a visit to Pallex tipping and loading bays sort out the wheat from the chaff on a nightly basis, critesism ranging from laughing, abuse and the down right embaresment of having to let rthe shunter driver or another driver putting it on the bay for you.
Only been there once, (during the day when it was nice and quiet) but I can only assume the first few bays as you go through the gate were meant for left hookers. Either that or it was designed by someone with no knowledge of the space a truck needs to reverse into the bays properly.
Its not only backing a problem, but if you are coming for first time, like I did, you better have correct direction. I was pleased to have that, otherwise one wrong turn might cost you a lot of time and money. I had one of the toughest caves to park into, don’t remember the number.
You’ll always have good and bad days.
I came off a 16 month stint on low loader work to go back at containers and couldn’t reverse on a bay for the life of me. Came back to me after a day or two though. It’s like everything else, I was just out of practice.
Its not my video, but I was in the very same situation at the place as the author of the video. I parked without a scratch the 53 feet trailer. Not bad for Eastern European

What a thick ■■■■■ Can’t follow the clear labels on the supports and is clearly [zb]ting himself from the speed he’s doing. He should try doing artic retail deliveries in the vast majority of our underground city centre shopping centres then he’d know what actual tight space is.

Yeh because that’s what REAL trucking is all about mate eh?
Retail deliveries.
Are you a wanabee Euro trucker or something with pangs of inadequacy.
Suggestion…use the Woolwich ferry next time you tip at M&S , and close your eyes and fantasise, then you will feel better about yourself.
Give it a ■■■■■■ rest mate ffs
Likewise. No-one gives a flying ■■■■ that you’ve done “Euro” and “the desert”, even less so when you shoehorn them into every single one of your posts in a futile attempt to garner some respect and divert attention away from the fact that you’re a failed owner driver and are now back in a £500/week tramping job living in a tin box all week. The only “desert” you’ve probably seen is Southport beach.

You really are a complete bufoon mate aren’t you
You come on here making unsubstantiated opinions passing them off as facts about other drivers then you accuse me of trying to garner respect. priceless.
Listen if you are going to chuck insults at somebody, (and especially at somebody like me that treats them like water of a ducks back) at least do not embarrass yourself and make yourself look a complete tool by getting your facts completely wrong
I have neither driven in a desert or claimed to have, so wrong again son. so it looks like your Southport beach crack is 100% accurate…sorry mate
You seem to think you know a lot about my career, I’m touched
truthfully.
Yeh I have made no secret of being an owner driver that had failed, however you are not relavant enough to me to attempt to explain why and how the faliure occured, but I rest safe in the knowledge that I had the balls to ‘have a go’ …what about you?.
Anyway enough about me.
So what about your illustrious trucking career? apart from the ‘perils’ of retail shop deliveries, … it’s hardly Ice road Truckers bud is it, …despite the way you try and build it up to massage your ego…Might I hazard a guess.? 100 mile radius man with a 300 quid sat nav, am I warm.
I admire your presumptious point about my wages also comedy gold.

I’d love to tell you about my illustrious trucking career but unfortunately I’ve yet to turn a wheel because every assignment I’m given involves spending several hours removing frilly curtain pelmets, dream catchers, Spanish bull-fighting sticks and batteries from electronic air fresheners left by selfish trampers such as yourself, by which point there are not enough hours left to do my job so I go home.
There are the odd rare occasions when I manage to complete this ordeal in 2.5 hours instead of 3 so am able to do my job but unfortunately this then gets scuppered by the class 1 bell-end flipflop that is blocking my escape by taking 63 shunts to get on a bay.

Ahhh so no mention or answers to me shooting down your inaccuracies but instead choose go on to something entirely different…well side stepped.
Also a refusal to reveal your career even though you unsucessfully attempted to ridicule mine…tut tut.
Just as I thought, all wind and ■■■■, and highly over opinionated on things that you actually know ■■■■ all about in real terms.
Knows it all but actually done next to ■■■■ all, and too ready to have a go at those that actually have, and knock the same people, namely me, who have at least had a go at something that you would never have the balls to do.
Just stick to your shop deliveries mate, as I’m sure you are an expert on those at least

That’s poor man. Very poor.
If your going to start a fight on a forum then you need to be prepared to go all the way. You need to be ready to have a come back and some answers, not fold like a two dollar ■■■■■■ when your target picks holes in your post and doesnt run away crying.
Another tip is don’t try to follow the same fight picking/come back style as our esteemed boredwivdrivin. Your reply here is very similar to his style of insults and answer dodging when anyone picks holes in what he posts and it never ends well for him either!

No. I’m just intelligent enough to not provide you with any ammunition to shoot back at me which is exactly your plan. I can see straight through your type. The rest of your post is just antagonistic bluster in an attempt to get me to reveal what I do; that won’t work either, sweetie.
Once again Robroy rumbled for the bag of hot air that he actually is. Laughable that his fan club are trying to fit in by sticking up for him cos he clearly needs all the help he can to help divert attention away from the fact that he is a know all about ■■■■ all. My friend whos boyfriend knows a mate said this…blah blah blah…

But have you done “euro” in a Topliner, truckbling? If not then you are just a lowly trucker and your opinion doesn’t count.

You are seriously ■■■■■■■ me aren’t you? why the hell would I want to drive on t’ continent, live in a tin box, get constantly harassed by gendarmes, have to listen to ■■■■ heads talking about their lorries whilst on ferry crossings, smell like a donkey, be out all week, miss my children growing up and for £500 take home per week when I can make double that for doing nothing and sleep in my own bed every day…hahaha anybody who drives on t’ continent is a mug or a big trucker.

I have done some downtown deliveries it was tight and I wasted a lot of time and patience to park. One delivery in Chicago I had to go at midnight, so the streets will be empty, otherwise parking is impossible. The same happened in LA.
There always will be tight places in cities around the world, the point is can or can’t a driver park the truck, regardless of the ■■■■■■■■■■■■.

£1000 a week for doing nothing? You schoolboys always let yourself down when you get excited.
