some fcukers can't drive them forward, let alone reverse them and these are so calledskilled immigrants from the eastern region.
Had one polish driver start at our place, had his assesment which he miraculously passed.
Anyway, he started on the monday evening same time that i start, he was to follow me up to Haydock. Well I hooked up to my trailer, (his was already hooked up) went to leave, but he didn't move. sat, waited.....sat, waited some more. After 25 mins I got out and went up to him and asked what the problem was.
"The truck not move" came back.

So I walked round the side of the trailer and turned the brake off for him............................he lasted 3 weeks before he went to turn into a tesco's, missed the loading entrance so decided to turn round in the car park............Taking out 30 odd cars with the back of his trailer......
I saw the boss the day after, and said....serves you fukcin' right for not demanding they pass a british test....

Chris, that's an idea for you. Go to Poland for your HGV, You only need to drive forward a 100 or so yards. No reversing, no-uncoupling, no road work.....100% true

th eone that went partying with his mates on the m25 with the truck and several litres of vodka, the one that rammed the back end of a cop car on the north circular, the one who lost his feet when his mate pulled the pin on the trailer with the lines still connected... loads more....

Rob, I still cant believe they let you drive a 20 ton fcukin truck, I surprised there is any of this country left LMFAO, they should just send all the troops back from afganistan, drop you in the country, put a sack over your head, kick you in the shins and run off.....that'll get the taliban mofo's

But me and slam are in the HGV capital of the country. It's central to everywhere so it's where most hubs are, therefore more drivers required, therefore more money.

Hmmm,i'll have a good look ASAP into taking my test i think.Yes i am central...Leicestershire.

Also thanks to Slamdog for info.
Thanks a lot guys.

Ohh,if i take my HGV in Poland,will it be perfectly valid over here?(i am serious).

**Robsta** · 17-04-2008, 01:58 AM

Yes it will be mate......
I think they are on about amending it for foreign HGV drivers, so they have to sit our test after 1 year or they already have....

Jamie, I drive a 44 ton artic up to haydock every night, loaded to the back doors with Lager....
Fukc sending me to Afghanistan to fight the Taliban....There's more of them over here ain't there.....
One of my best mates is Afghan, the stories he tells about the Taliban are frightening, he's lucky he got out when he did..

**Robsta** · 17-04-2008, 02:00 AM

Blue, you'll be laughing if you get a class 1, there's no end of work at the Crick depot's....Top money too...

lol....funny cnut you...

Slamdog · 17-04-2008, 02:03 AM

blimey.. if you are in leicester then that great big place at lutterworth, magna park has so many firms needing drivers....

**Robsta** · 17-04-2008, 02:06 AM

Yes...Even if you get your class 2, you may find firms round there willing to take you on driving a rigid, and they'll put you through your class 1 on their own. Youmay have to stay with them a year or so though, but £25-30k is easily done. In fact you'll struggle not to earn that...

Someone failed to notice at a depot in Milton Keynes that shall remain nameless (until a driver pointed it out) that all the Polish drivers had the same licence number......

this just highlights what i've believed all along... paper qualifications mean very little compared to experience... anybody can learn to do things from books, but actually doing it is another matter.

BLUE(UK) · 17-04-2008, 03:37 PM

Thanks again Slam/Rob,i shall start looking into this ASAP,already have the theory book but it will really have to wait until after i get back from Portugal before booking anything(mid May).

I am actually on the North side of Leicester(a mile from Bardon) although at that sort of money,the cost of commuting is worth it by the sounds of things.
