I was just wondering if a Lorryists section could be made. Somewhere that the truck drivers could chat but not be interupted by all the "why don't they go faster" brigade?

If you ever wanted anyone to do some test drives of new trucks etc... hehe


Seriously though, an area for asking advice on the working time directive, driver's hours and all the other bks that goes with the job would be quite nice. Lorry threads just get filled with vitriol then lost in General Gassing.


I think the hypothetical section should be called "The Truck Stop".

Thanks in advance for reading and declining my suggestion. wink

Imagine Waughs reaction if PH got a lorry section..

He'd be more excited than if Hannah Hilton came into his room on Christmas Morning.

Yeah, but we'll end up with a million 'what truck' threads and how can I insure my Scania when I'm only 17 years old type stuff.


Seriously though, I like the idea (even though I'm a non-truckist) as it's nice to hear stuff from the 'other' side of the road.

A whole section for one driver seems excessive.

Magic is being a pendant wink


But being serious for a moment, I wouldn't mind seeing some trucker's cabs or reading their experiences on the road.

Now what does Royhpnol smell like?

A bit like this rag.






You see, it could be a really good section.

Greasy spoon recommendation Wiki. Tips to people who are thinking about taking the test. Wot truck threads. "Why do bits of my Iveco fall off?" threads. It could be a really good section.

Ah, breaker one-nine, this here's the rubber duck, you gotta copy on me, Pig Pen, c'mon?

Ah, yeah, 10-4, Pig Pen, for sure, for sure. By golly, it's clean clear to Flag Town, c'mon.

Yeah, that's a big 10-4 there, Pig Pen, yeah, we definitely got the front door, good buddy.

Mercy snakes alive, looks like we got us a convoy...

If the Lorry section is password protected and you can only get the password by emailing a copy of your driving license to a PH boss as proof you are a lorry driver then YES, I like the idea.

If it is not protected then all the morons car drivers that hold me up by driving at 53.33343 mph on the motorway and those who have no indicators or mirrors or live in lane 2 will find me in here and I might suffer extra hot piss in my statutory rest periods too.

No need. You just PM CW7 for anything you require.
