Apparently I was rude to the Japs when I went to pick up stuff at Honda.... who knows with them, maybe I didn't bow enough and tell them how great they are, they don't want me back again! screw them like I care that much about them that I have to bow and get on bended knee to make them happy, they will all be gone next year anyway
They can't just sack you for that, they have to give you the requisite number of written warnings over a period of time first, otherwise it's an industrial tribunal claim.
Unsettling though? Bonne courage.
Is it your own truck Dopey?
Oh yea ****ed me right off, the amount I help them out each time, they just don't get it, If I load it wrong its my license, and my fine, they don't care
No m8 its not
Thats the trouble though, I am meant to be a "professional" driver lolIf they had threatened me with the sack I would have phoned them ,told them I had broken down and for them to send someone to fix it or get the truck recovered.adding tell the fitter/recovery driver to knock gently on the drivers door as I would be in the bunk fast asleep.
Had this argument many times, nowhere in the term professional driver do the words breakdown fitter /mechanic appear . Had a motor that would cut out if you turned the steering wheel to the left, very embarrassing after overtaking another truck then coasting on to the hard shoulder. It ended with a shouting match between me and the maintenance manager on the phone. I pointed out unless he did his job i couldn't do mine. He had the entire fuel system replaced which sorted the problem. We ended up good fiends.
All good unless something happened on the way back, then it would have been your responsibility, bet they wouldn't back up your judgment call.
I told him if I break down, im leaving it there and taking a cab back to the yard and he can sort it out
Sounds like you would be better off working for someone else m8.
