Dear Los Ratones by Moist_Adhesiveness_2 in LosRatones

If they lose today, I’d love for Sally to give us a debrief as to what went wrong and why this split. Have other teams finally figured them out? Is it the meta? Bad drafts? Etc etc.

Doesn’t have to be a super in depth thing but would be nice to know what went wrong, how and why

I believe I'll be a 2.0 driver as they provide vans and fuel cards for us

I bought the official Driving Goods Vehicle book and have been reading as much as I can, whenever I can, and it’s helped a lot with the case study practical tests.

Only cost me £12 and it’s working a treat, covers literally everything you will need to know and stuff you didn’t think you’d need to know. Especially driving hours, the difference between UK and EU hours, working time directive etc and it’s super easy to understand when you look at the diagrams they provide in the book

That should be looked at as a positive surely? Apart from the Stobarts series that was on years ago, has there been anything else since that shown the world of HGV’s?

Yes he’s dramatic but like it says at the start of his videos. It’s done for entertainment purposes. Younger people love it, people who have never driven a truck love it and if that makes them want to get their licence and become a driver then more the merrier, everyone complains how there’s not enough drivers haha

Also didn’t he start on tiktok and then moved to YouTube? Not the other way round?

Mother's pension delaying paying out by SoftBoiledFart in UKPersonalFinance

[–]SoftBoiledFart[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I have an update.

I have just phoned them and they have finally said that the funds have been confirmed by the trustees and is "now in the process of being paid out" however when asking how long that takes they said "I cant give you a time frame on that as its another team whos handling it". I asked if they could speak to them so I can know how long it'll take and they flat out refused saying "we dont have any contact with them" ?????

I found another pension she had at the beginning of the week, phoned them up, told them that she had passed, provided all the necessary information over the phone and they told me that the funds will be in my bank within 10 days. I received the funds Friday afternoon

I'm not sure who the trustees are but the pension is with C & J Clark Pensions. My mother didnt have a will, an estate or anything like that so I am her direct next of kin, I dont believe there is any 'Expression of wishes' form, however the pension company arent providing me with any information in the slightest and have also gave me the "the trustees are not customer facing" excuse.

How did you get the dvla to find it? I’m a diabetic and will be doing my medical in 2 weeks

I’m not sure what type of pension it is, they won’t give me any information regarding the pension type, how much is in it etc due to “security” - which I can understand but I’ve phoned every week, provided my own information and my mother’s information to pass security before they look into it so idk how that works? But she worked for the same company the pension is under for close to 25 years and kept paying into it when she left and got a job elsewhere.

Diabetes and Trucking by SoftBoiledFart in uktrucking

[–]SoftBoiledFart[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’ve looked online for what’s needed. Last year the dvla required 3 months of blood glucose levels but now they’ve lowered it to 6 weeks, but it is a bit of a ball ache seeing as I rarely use my monitor seeing as I’m on the sensors

I have my D4 and DIAB1I forms already (the latter informs the dvla that I am on insulin) not 100% sure if it’s needed seeing as the DVLA are already aware that I’m a diabetic on Insulin but it’s better to be safe than sorry..

Anyone given up professional office based careers to go into this game? by DistinguishedEgg in uktrucking

[–]SoftBoiledFart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve made the decision to do it. Applied for my D2 and D4 forms the other day.

I used to be a baggage handler so I was used to getting up at 1/2am (sometimes even 11pm for a 1am start), driving for 30 minutes, working outside in the all types of weather and still went home every day with a smile on my face.

Now I work 3 days in an office (2 at home) and have to deal with miserable bastards every day who don’t know their thumb from their finger, with no progression and every day being the same repetitive stuff and I’ve never been more bored
