Ok, I thought we should have a place of our own where we can talk shop, swop gossip etc., etc,. :cheers:
There's always a warm welcome for any mates (M & F) to drop by for a cuppa and ....er....bacon sarnie. coffee

Course if you come after dark then the menu's somewhat spicier! :censored: :twisted:
I've...........erm..............notched up two wing mirrors in the last week's work :shock: :shock: Both of 'em were on 35cwt pickups. I was manoeuvering around them. The first one was a nearside one and my latest was an offside score. Ripped both buggers right off at the roots :grin: :grin:
I'm driving a 6 wheeler at the moment with a big overhang beyond the trailing axle so.....erm........I'm still getting used to the way the arse end kicks out redface

ops: :oops:
Over to you Dammie, Dargento et al.
innocent

ok ok some of you will think im talkin dirty here but ES will understand....
when you say 6 wheeler ES do you mean a rigid?....or a 6x2 or 6x4 tractor unit...
ive always moved around on the trucking scene and tried different things.....as well as a C+E lisence ive got hazchem and 360degrees lisence...and a few fork truck 1s...
at the moment im having a few years out ....doing some plastering/tiling for friends and working on traffic management...like driving tonka toys lol from what im used too...only use rigids and sweepers/ crash cushions etc...
i spent 4 years in plant transport doing CAT 1 machines. (upto 150 T) and that was a real good job....not sure how many wheels the trailer had as itd of took a day to count the buggers...

I know what you mean about overhang ES, I once took a bus shelter completely out with the arse of a coach in the late 80's
In fact - I haven't taken anything rigid out since I stopped doing the coaching.
These days - I can't do it backwards unless they bend :shock:
You asked me the other day if I was giving up the splitters.
Good God NO ! ! ! !
I'm not happy unless I've at least a paddle anda switch to flick wink

Although, I'm much more keen these days to back onto the ramp, than flap the curtains :wink:
And I could sit under a Tranny all day long ! !
btw - the views you enjoyed today are much betterer from a M.A.N. XXL
:wink:
