Waiting in the loading lane for the toplift to load my container, 2nd from front. Toplift arrives with my box, plonks it on & i get out and do my twistlocks, (driver in front still not loaded.) I should've waited but home was beckoning so i backed up a foot or so which gave me room to get out, a couple of foot later, an awful noise i stopped & got out. I'd managed in my infinate wisdom to not see the concrete block right in front of my unit & get it stuck under the truck just forward of the front wheels. Got lifted free, struggled back to the yard, end result a knackered intercooler which for a Volve FH 420bhp globetrotter amounts to the grand total of £585 + vat plus £100 surcharge as the original cannot be exchanged!!!! My gaffer had to rearrange runs as i can't do mine tomorrow now. I've got a different run in my old Scania.
    I must remember the gears are back to front on Volvos & Scanias or my life won't be worth living! ::) :'(
Oh break :-/ :-/ :-/

Have heard of better ways of trying to get a payrise. Unlucky fella.

Can somebody point out that it's called North Wales for a reason, lol. Every one of my southern friends always says "How do you fancy coming up to see us or well come down to you." NORTH means up. DOGH!!!!

these things happen, its just life, no doubt you had many trouble free years of trucking behind you and yet to come  :y
You hit the nail on the head mate. Did'nt get a bollocking as such, more of a lecture along the lines of "FFS Guy, how long have you been driving? I expect this from some of them but not you" etc & one or two explatives unsuitable for the forum.
   35 mins early this morning, gonna behave myself for a while now!!!
