Car Transporter drivers...
Discussion
never done it, looks an art form to me.
used to do tractors out of the plant in basildon, they loaded them onto our flatbeds, we strapped them down and 9 times out of 10 when we got to the delivery point, we had to take them off.
the first time i did it, thought i was gonna shat myself!

I really don't fancy loading the first car on the top deck, the one that sits above the cab.
It must take a decent bit of skill to do it, unless vehicles are loaded by winching them on, in which case I expect a whoosh parrot straight away.
Anyone loaded a transporter \ seen it done \ seen it go wrong \ had transporter issues with a new car?

Peaks were banned on articulated transporters. The tennis balls were used by some drivers when training on them.
They're allowed again now as Brit European have at least half a dozen new ones. I saw them coming out of Grimsby Docks earlier this year. Surprised me as I too was under the impression they were banned.Here's how Fiat's Pavesi division delivered tractors in the 1920s. Each one followed exactly in the wheeltracks of the one in front so one driver could deliver a whole train of them, just unhooking the last one as he got to the farm that had bought it. I should imagine that the one he was driving would be knackered by the end of the day after towing that lot.
Nearly had a bridge strike in Guildford this week, but the driver realised he was over height.
Shame this bloke didn't realise that in 2013..
