You still about or gone back home?Experience costs money. There will only ever be the dregs of the workforce to do a job with low pay and time pressure compromising quality and safety of the work.
At the end of the day the buck has to stop with the farmer/customer. If they didn't hire shoddy contractors or batter down the rates of a reputable one so much this wouldn't be a problem.
Heading back tomorrow. Job done hereYou still about or gone back home?
snap,the thing is to get to either end as quick as possible,then stand and talk,play with phone or try and chat up anything,being in right place at either end doesn't matterI agree, I got fed up with dealing with muppets all day everyday and looked for a change, but these large contractors/farms rely on the inexperienced zero hours minimum wage operators that see the opportunity to drive a new tractor with an 18 ton trailer to keep the whole job viable/sustainable
Very true.Ahh this thread again.
Sometimes accidents do actually happen and its no ones fault
It irks me on here that every time a trailer falls over it has to be a young lad on minimum wage working for a terrible boss, talking to his mate on the phone, with his beacons on (apparently using them makes you a worse driver)Very true.

Roundabouts are a problem as the momentum and centre of gravity is pushing down on the left hand wheels severely. If you go round a corner on a bike you lean in or you would tip off the bike if you see what I mean!Hmmmm...why is it always roundabouts...
