You’d tipped your truck over onto its side?

Fair commitment for the recovery vehicle to go horizontal too.

Bravo

Mine is in main dealer for rear calipers so I'm in "the spare"
Jesus it's terrible.
I can't believe how a 17 plate truck cab be so basic. Doesn't even have Bluetooth.

Bluetooth? Luxury !


My spare van doesn’t have Bluetooth. It doesn’t even have a stereo. Or electric windows. It doesn’t even have central locking.

It broke on the way home, gearbox ecu failure.
Back in mine today, heated seats burning my ass.

I just wear Bluetooth headphones at work all day now and it's miles better than flakey truck radios. I'm supposed to wear hearing protection when I'm unloading anyway, wish that I'd started doing it years ago.

Sat watching the tourists wanting to die as they stand right next to the live lane to get a photo of the nearly home trees on the A30

Edit: no, that’s where he chose to stand to operate his drone!

With his back to oncoming traffic at 70+ mph.

He’s not the sharpest tool in the box is he.

That’s a bit of an oxymoron isn’t it?

This is the A836 at Strathy on the north coast, it’s a double track road usually. I bladed it four times that day this was the journey home in the gritter at the end of a very long shift.

Sweeping the hard shoulder on the M6 today. Interestingly these have a manual box for normal driving and a auto box for when sweeping, controlled by the lever on the left of steering wheel

Some sort of hydrostatic drive?

Yep this only has a single engine to power both the truck and sweeping gear where alot of sweepers have a seperate donkey engine mounted on the back.

It's been there for a week, they've now put traffic lights around it, think that they're hoping that it just sinks all of the way and they can forget about it

Surely they just need to bring in one of those Canadian blokes with a moustache?

I'm guessing that's the entrance / exit route to a quarry and he's took that hill a bit quick?

[s p a c e m a n]

Nah it's a HS2 site, they've made a 10 mile road that runs along the site so that we don't drive through the villages. It's mostly completely flat, open and straight but it seems like wherever there's a bit of a bend or hill or a leaf falls off of a tree some nobhead manages to do something stupid.

I think that bit might even be a 15mph speed limit. Just found the photo from last week, fk knows what he was doing.

Bloody hell, that pictures shows it better, up to the axles.

If they have to get a wrecker out for that, as its off road it's going to be a very large bill!

[s p a c e m a n]

I have a feeling it's not coming out of there with all of its plastic bits attached
