NEWSFLASH…
Police and Interpol today announced the suspension of the search for the missing village idiots. A police spokesperson said that due to the diligence of several drivers for a national food distribution company the missing idiots had been located safe and well in the warehouse they operate from.
They had been allowed to cause havoc loading lorries in a particularly unsafe manner with no regard for health and safety or driver welfare. Ordinarily this would be cause for concern but as the company they were working for couldn’t give a damn as long as the lorries were loaded and sent out on delivery routes then there was no problem as far as they were concerned.
A Health and Safety representative at the company said that the drivers would just have to get on with it as the only priority was to save money at the moment and having people to safely pick and stack heavy trays of chicken on dollies whilst utilising the equipment purchased specifically for the task was an un-necessary expense. As for making sure the pallets are wrapped properly the village idiots had been told at great length that only one layer of wrap was required and that making sure it was tight only wasted time.
No drivers were available for comment as they were all (with a few exceptions) working their backsides off to try and get back before they ran out of duty time.

Ah, so you're the guy who was driving like a maniac the last time I visited your island. A lot of people think US truck drivers are crazed, but that's because they haven't seen how you guys drive on very narrow roads.
ReplyDeleteEveryone's trying to shave a penny off the cost these days. Good luck to you; it can't be easy.
Gordon I would think that would have been one of our numerous Polish agency drivers who have little respect for the vehicles or rules and regulations that apply to them when on the road. From an employers point of view though they are excellent as they work every hour they can and then some more and do it for very little money. I did have cause a couple of years ago to assist a USAF lorry driver who was having problems backing a trailer in between my vehicle and another parked trailer. He had 6 goes before asking me to move, I took one go at backing it in inch perfectly. Apparently they're not used to reversing in confined spaces.
