You can see from the video that the handbrake wasn't on . Leaving it off is usually what happens when a driver gets hit by his own truck. It's one of those split seconds mistakes that can cost someone dearly ( either the driver , or padestrians), its especially easy when you're in and out of the cab and you're rushing.

It could also be mechanical failure , especially in freezing conditions.  Just over two weeks ago , on a frosty morning,  the handbrake warning sensor on the truck that I was driving , lit up several times , saying that the handbrake had come off( it had). Fortunately I was sitting in the truck when it happened. 

I phoned my supervisor to tell him what had happened,  and in true cuntish style , he told me that it was OK,  and I could just carry on .   I knew exactly what the prick would say , and I reckon the video of our conversation will come out sooner or later.

Anyone on hear go to their work's Christmas party's. I was asked a few weeks ago along with other members of the workforce by the supervisor. My reply was i would sooner go and sit in the dentists than attend the Christmas party non to my knowledge of warehouse staff on both shifts are going as it's more for management office staff and arse lickers.

24th and back on the 5th. I like the wee break but that’s plenty.

Started working late 80’s so only ever really known stat holidays for Christmas and New Year. A few older guys I’ve worked with have said it wasn’t always like that. They worked in factories on Christmas day for example…, and that Hogmanay/New Year was the big thing in Scotland, not Christmas. Rig workers would work rotas so the English lads would be home at Christmas and the Scots at home for the new year.

I can't stand half the folks I work with these days , and I can barely stand to spend time with them when I'm being payed for it.

Go on very few work’s do’s now. I can’t be bothered getting absolutely shit-faced any more, and they’re generally intolerable things to attend unless you are. Been to some monumental ones in the past but will leave it to the young team now.

I'd rather shit in my hands and clap than sit with some of the pricks at our place.

Same here mate never in my working life have I ever worked with such boring characterless individuals just glad theirs a few van and lorry drivers who have a bit of character about them that I see briefly in the working day.
