Nail. Head. I would suggest.

Having passed my C+E early this year, work has been patchy but I always get invited back. There is no way I could work for the likes of M&S though, because I don't have the relevant two years experience for insurance purposes.

That is pure negligance. A bona fide UK driver would never have allowed that to happen. The system is fooked I tell ya.

I also get "Yeah your truck can get in here" and we have skip lorries in here and everything.

I look at the access to some silly little driveway and think no chance then i see a skip

already in there and think how TF did that get there ?

This is the approach to Viridor in Crayford, very decieving on the approach, then you go down a concrete dip and just muscle under with approx 2" either side. This was my second time up there so I was ready for it.

[chilistrucker]

ha,ha, viridor, the 1st time there you think, "no way."

[GC8]

Whats the height and the width there? What sort of vehicles go though? Im presuming that its dustbin lorries and eight wheel earth movers, if Viridor are a landfill company?

[chilistrucker]

for tightspots, this is one of my faves, its the forum in milan, as you can see abit tight, and its a long way to reverse, oh, and uphill

gc8, viridor is a waste site, i can't remember exactly but a standard height sea container def goes under
width, again can't remember was a while back, but, "JUST" over 2.5 metres

[GC8]

Driving a tarmac tipper you get asked to perform impossible manoeuvres every other day, but the most difficult was reversing twenty tonnes of tarmac half a mile along a railway tunnel in the pitch dark.

For those who are local, this was on the Monsal trail, North from Millers Dale station.

Didn't see the actual height, I was too busy concentrating on the width

However it's used all day long by artics with containers, like mine, plus some higher bulk tipper trailers used by Fred Sherwood recycling.

I always go by word of mouth - can't beat other drivers' experiences. Plus observations on the day.

Otherwise I think I might have been tempted to turn back.
