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!

Bit of an headache I would have thought - Mint sauce comes to mind

how come a sheep will wander on the grass verge all day,grazing happy as larry,then as soon as a vehicle comes up the road it decides it urgently needs to be on the other side!!?? :-? :-?

I suppose the only logical way of looking at it is that the 2 trucks are repairable .. the sheep isn't ....
