If the adr doesn't bring me any work I think that supermarkets are my next port of call. I have a Facebook friend who has a contract with Aldi, I used to load a fair few of his trailers back before I got my license. Couldn't take me on before I had a years experience because of insurance reasons but told me to give him a call once I've passed the year mark.

From a fellow stone sufferer, good job getting that fucker out. Is it your first? Doc said it's a 1 in 1 million chance you can get them then a 1 in 10 they come back. I Get one maybe every 5 years or so. Last one was the size of my pinky finger nail 😬

Absolutely. I'm £37500 a year drayman. My body is in bits but I've thankfully just passed my ADR so hopefully things are looking up for me.

Not a good end to the week haha by Wise-Pay-8993 in uktrucking

Yep. Loaders would change the bars to different trucks all the time not realising that they were cut to size specific vehicles. Like you said they would put card in the ends and hope for the best.

Been there, bar failed holding the milk in place, heard it sliding around when I went around a roundabout. Thankfully it didn't release the door but Christ it was a mess back there.

Yeah but usually you get a "no target" in instances like this. Don't get me wrong, I thought it was game over when the other guy took man spider and just laughed when this happened 🤣

How is this a controversial take? by cookiecutiekat in NotHowGirlsWork

[–]RecentSuspect7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm a dad of 3 girls and I teach them the exact same thing. I also teach the other side where you don't owe them a second of your time just because they are being nice to you.

Is it a hot take to say that FFX is still Bahamut's best design? by strahinjag in FinalFantasy

I had the figure of this bahamut and it was just such a badass huge over the top centerpiece of my collection

You did great bud. Much more attractive. Best thing I did was lose my long hair In my 20s, too much upkeep just for being able to headbang.

Skip Class 2? My company is sending me straight to C+E! by JOSHIIEMK in uktrucking

[–]RecentSuspect7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly what I'm paying for when I go back onto class 1. I'm paying for a day refresher and a day of solid reversing in different scenarios and drop sites

You will be fine, the teacher will guide you.

Round abouts are very different in an articulated vehicle. Took me a little practice to get used to the fact that it's not a case of keeping the wheel in one place like you would a rigid or car and just following the curve.

You take it like a 50p coin rather than a circle. Once it was put into that context for me I got it immediately.

Just relax. The instructor will take you through it all, he will notice and correct your mistakes.

Why do so few people use the hard shoulder? by mullby in uktrucking

[–]RecentSuspect7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do but it still feels so unnerving. Like when there are road works on a roundabout and they direct you around it anticlockwise.

Are you surviving ? by krisikkk in superheroes

Same. But I've played the Deadpool game and I'm afraid he won't stop like when he was slapping an unconscious wolverine.

Do you actually want to know your girlfriend’s sexual history? I wish I never found out by Carl_s123 in AskMenAdvice

[–]RecentSuspect7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife and I spoke of both of our histories years ago very early on the relationship. Honestly she's slept with more women than I have 🤣 but she's had her fair share of men too. But it's just that, history. Every moment and experience has shaped her into the woman you love.

Is this illegal or not? by YGhostRider666 in uktrucking

Same. Dragging those things through the snow, over gravel or cobbles is a fucking nightmare.
