We should have our share by morning.
Much as I've been poo pooing the snow on Facebook, it's been snowing hard here in Harlow for the last couple of hours and starting to pitch on the roads around the depot, soon be time to practice my drifting skills in an artic
Fishtailing is much more fun.
Especially when there is a meatheaded trucker that won't let you in.
Ha ha i've had many a fight and won.

Not all of us truckers are meatheads, it's your train driver mentality expecting the roads to be as clear as the railways that's the problem

I know exactly what you mean buddy. I was an agency artic driver for a good few years until I moved to the dark side.
Have you done your CPC yet? I am not sure whether to do it or actually much about it.

Ah the dreaded Driver CPC, I've done three of the five modules legally required so far, you have to complete 5 x 7hr modules to make up 35hrs of training by September 2014.
I think it's a very good idea for those who are new to the industry and lack knowledge and experience, it's also a good for old hands like me to be refreshed on some of the new rules and regs that have quietly slipped in.
It's a pain in the arse but a necessary one according to the powers that be in Brussels

I agree that generally it is not a bad idea... just wish it was more structured. Choosing 5 different modules out of say 8 or 10 and having to do one a year- rather than being able to take the same one 5 times in the same week just to tick the proverbial box!
Bet the costs go up this year too... as the PCV drivers need to have done the 5 by Sept 2013!

Although to be honest I'd like to see an 'Large Vehicle Awareness' course made compulsory for those who drive smaller vehicles, there are too many out there who just do not appreciate the room an HGV takes to manoeuvre or the blind spots where they cannot be seen.....how many even know that a modern artic on six disc braked axles with ABS/EBD/EBS can stop just as quick as a car in certain circumstances??
