Insurance is a fleet policy with no hidden covenents just the normal £500 excess...the claim included the recovery but not a replacement & was quite simple with few probs other then they paid guide value which was undervalued..was a 4 seater peugeot partner on a 56 reg with the excess lost gonna be outa pocket by around 2k to replace for the same

Going back a while lad took van to newcastle got pulled drink driving about 10x limit got banned got sacked been back to the firm about 5 times since lol
I had a similar problem a while back. I was just disappointed, he didn't last long when it came to light what was going on.
Prangs happen all the time, but at the moment I have a van with square wheels as the fella reversed into a soft grass verge at 2 mph and a truck with tyres that looks like it's got the mumps it's been curbed that often. I'm supposed to believe some guff when it comes to explaining exactly what happened.:suspicious:
Got to be honest SP, think I would be looking at charging him for the damage if it was his fault.

Wish I could say the same BF, we were all young once and I do remember taking great care of the kit better than I would have my own, spending more time than was financially viable retrieving sole pads and base plates as I hate waste of any form but it would have been cheaper sometimes to leave them and get the firm just to replace them. I also remember being as rough as with the firms transport though. It was more ignorance than malice though as I viewed the trucks as just glorified wheel barrows and gave them little respect, even carried it on when I first started on my own until I realised the cost, soon changed my ways, think it's just human nature.

Aye, but it does show you what they think of my intelligence level when they expect me to swallow their guff. To be honest, I kind of expect it from the young team as I have done it myself but please don't insult me with stupid fairytales.

FFS, what is it with you c@nts you can't even clean out your own motor? The amount of times I have handed the keys to a driver, tell him to keep it clean and look after it like hos own just to catch a glimpse of the inside of his own car and I swear there was something moving under all these crisp packets.

THEY CRNT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT Speeding - the law, mitigating circumstances, defences to speeding, speeding ticket, speeding fine what to do
I will certainly check out the link marra, nice one thanks. My brother is a cop but not traffic so he is not entirely sure but he reckons I will get a knock on the door probably next week as they have 14 days to notify a court appearance will be required. Nothing yet, but trying to plan for the worst.

What makes you think I haven't run jobs in England? A walk in the park compared to running a job in Australia where the lads bite back and stick to their principles.
You are entitled to have an opinion so am I.
