In tonight's breathtaking episode...Trucker reverses onto bay without hitting wall! Trucker does delivery late! Trucker makes toast in cab! Trucker has to park on a hill! Trucker slides in slush!

Whew!

Quote of the show: 'with the smell of bacon urging him on, Tim etc etc...'.

Dad, when I grow up I want to be a truckist!

do they deliberately choose the biggest cocks to "star" in the show... that scouser trapped in a carpark?? why not get a couple of the lads to bounce the fecking bmw out of the way or put a tow strop on the thing and shift it that way

that narrator is a bain in the neck too.... show has run its time
I think you'll find they choose the ones that won't spill the beans on what it's really like to work for them. It has been said that a couple of drivers got the push for trying to tell the truth about this wonderful company.

You're all forgetting Nans and grandads, like my inlaws, who love series like these.

Once saw that Mark geezer at Edmonton coke and thought about my dear old mother inlaw and how she loves watching the show, for some reason. Now she's the best mother inlaw going and it did cross my mind to get a pen and piece of paper out, BUT............ I just couldn't bring myself to do it. Na no chance!!

so what joys await, trucker gets stuck in traffic, truckie eats bacon roll, truckie drives a truck??? got trains in it too so perhaps more on stobart saving the planet with their 2 stroke diesel locos built in canada... dont know why they dont show truckie getting a quick shag from some tart in the services or would that spoil the image

I remember going to a meeting on site with a customer for whom we'd done a deal to do the haulage into Stobarts at Crick. So a fat bd from Stobart was in the room too. We went through the agenda & at the end, the podgy prick stood up & said why haven't we got the haulage? knowing full well who I was & why I was there.

So I said because I'm better, cheaper & more reliable than you. He then asked for directions to the M11 which is not in itself very convincing, so I sent him toward the south circular & then on to the M23.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll ensure I avoid every cringeworthy episode of this new series now.

it is a big issue to miss a slot

not only does it mean the recieving location has staff and equipment sat idle , it messes up their KPI

so the haulier gets 'fined' by the recipient , and if it's ambient goods rebooked at the reciever's convenience or in some cases the shipment rejected - which means the sender will bill the haulier for the goods wasted ...
