Your licence fella . Don't have to make friends just be firm but polite . Enjoyed.

Usually arguments with digger drivers involve them coming round to your house later and demolishing part of it for you for free

39:10 is the argument

It’s not their licence at risk is it or god forbid you got to do a emergency stop and have that extra weight pushing you forward. Good on you for sticking to your guns Luke.

Exactly that mate. Thanks for watching mate 👌

[@matty6848]

Yep I’ve had the same on my curtain side Trailer. They just think your good to go overloaded but it’s me who gets done & loses my class 1 end up out of work. When you have a mortgage to pay plus 2 kids to feed & look after it’s no joke. I just say to them “if I lose my class 1 & my job will you pay my mortgage for me” they usually go quiet & bugger off after that!

Hi Luke, thanks for good content, the tip you used for your first run out of Fleet looked to me looked like the one I spent hours in playing && watching tippers load sand 60 years ago beside the A 31 between Farnham & Bentley. The sand was removed by a drag line either side of the Waterloo to Alton railway line & taken to the hoppers by a pair of AEC Matador tippers, later a huge walking drag line was assembled on site & the hoppers were fed by conveyor belt which was extended as the sand was worked out & new pits opened up.The two tippers were redundant.Hyde Crete were the owners back then, loved the place as a boy !!!

[@sirbeardoftheshire1993]

Word of advice... Always respect the people loading you and definitely don't piss them off... Good chance of long waiting times or being overloaded ha ha

[@lukecinahgv]

100% agree. I always respect anyone loading me 👌 But in this case, he overloaded me and blamed me. 2nd time he tried again. Luckily my company had my back and said if he did it again refuse to move until it's taken off. If they refused to take it off I had permission tip it all off where I was 😂👍 But yeah. Normally I'll have a laugh with any loader / banks man etc.

Yes but it’s your license and job gone if you get pulled overloaded. I’ve had numerous forklift drivers and digger drivers try to overload me knowingly. If their taking the piss you can’t just take it you got to tell them.

[@CagedPaps]

As someone who found you because I'm a nerd who plays ETS2. I find it really interesting seeing parts like when you turned the camera to show the weight etc. Just interesting to see that side of things and details you don't realise exist or appreciate what laws are there.

I'm a plant operator and when loading tippers as soon as you beep your horn and drop the body thats it. They are obviously taking the piss abit trying to get more off site than they should.

[@TheThejpmshow]

They often take the piss and keep piling it on. Only another week to go of tipping for me..

[@arjay6928]

Last time i did tipper work,vosa would fine drivers £1000 for every ton that they were overweight, if they were caught.

[@chrispedersen5225]

That be typical prick of digger driver to heavy once is ok but 2nd time I'd tip the load refuse to drive it's your licence.. god forbid if you had a ACCIDENT first thing they will do is weigh you if you over weight the book be thrown at you. In Ireland its thrown at the driver the digger driver the haulier and the digger company. And a good digger driver should know how many tonnes roughly per load.

I wasn’t at all surprised the digger driver was foreign. He’s probably a Eastern European and they are incredibly arrogant and rude. They think because they can get away with overloading wagons in Poland etc they can do the same here. They need to to realise that in the U.K we have strict H&S laws which they have to adhere to. I’ve had loads of arguments with Polish forklift drivers at RDCs who try to overload my curtain side trailer and I just tell them I won’t have it. I see foreign wagons overloaded all the time but the Police never pull them over just British truck drivers & boils my piss how they get away with it😡

[@todd2885]

Being a digger driver from the late 90's we used to get bulled into over loading our own lowers, you may know them down on the south coast Fareham beginning with H. any way they said they would pay the fine. but after me and some others said its wrong and wouldn't do it, they back off a bit. its all about maxing profits and if you think some eastern workers here in the uk they work like we did 20 years ago. And he was no digger driver all that room and he back end loads you with out sitting on a mound?
