Witnessed a Caravan crash earlier on way to a job on the M2, Caravan was overtaking then started whipping which lead to the car jack knifing and ended up arse end in the barrier. Whole passenger rear end of car mangled and Caravan took a good wallop. Coming back from job seen it driving along slowly with police escort to get it off the Motorway
Lucky enough was able to drive away but seriously unlucky too.

1st Day behind the wheel today felt fucking great getting out and about properly getting the feel for the truck
Finally I'm back on track and things are on the up, I won't lie but the 1st few months I was in a bad place with my mental health but started to get back on ladder again now
Everything is upwards and onwards from here Folks
Thank you all so much for the messages and support through this period

What a fucking day
4 million worth on my truck today
1800 miles on the F40 and yes I got to drive it, mind-blowing experience, fuck all driver aids just a V8 with a fat turbo. The noise was unreal
Had a passenger ride in a GT4 porche, fella did not hold it back at all and I was shouting at him to fucking send it the whole time lmfao, M5 ride too was class and a lexus IS 500 convertible ride too, lexus driver I kid youse not had a glass eye and an old skool actually made of wood left leg, I thought he was taking the piss until I touched it and he was in his 70s, Man knew how to go sideways

Mclaren Senna and a Ferrari Le Ferrari
That's the GT4 and lexus I was out in
Had to drive the Diablo about a good bit too
its like sitting inside a 1908s video game Fun fact
SuperCars are best drove barefoot
The feel of driving an F40 and a Diablo barefoot was very necessary, no room at the pedals for anything more than Ballet shoes lol

Will be using this thread now to post pictures of stuff I've came across while out picking up people's stupidly
A very deadened Van
This went up a bank and came down on its side and slid along. The truck on its own couldn't flip it over as it was full of Solar Panel. We brought in another truck with a specialised lift and put a strap underneath onto the rear axl then both trucks together pulled and lifted it upright again
That was 1st thing Monday morning and the 1st accident I've been too, it was really interesting to see just how it should be done, I've soooo much to learn.
My Trainer said earlier he would be happy enough to sign me off to go and do lift and shifts and he thinks my Driving is 100%
It's my communication skills I need to work on for dealing with customers and the general fucktards that are the Public
Need more training on the technology side of things for the job app on the mobile
Fucking hate technology, it's almost as bad a ABS brakes

Crane job on this afternoon, handbrake wasn't put on properly and car rolled down a decent hill and surprised the old woman sitting watching out at the world having a cuppa
Drop kerb so car got a good launch, some good scuffs on bottom of front bumper and a slightly bent wishbone but that was all the damage done, underside and chassis apart from the wishbone didn't get any damage at all, bramble bushes a good 3 foot thick gave it a good soft landing lol
Was good to see how it should be done, straight forward enough when you know how
Got most of my training signed off by the Boss today and a few more things to go over and sign off tomorrow then should be out on my own once he's happy with how I'm doing things
Few new trucks currently being built/worked on and a few sick trucks so I will in the Spare truck for a few days until the fleet is sorted
