Well !!!
What can one say.
New sheriff in the West Midlands is making a big wave.
Been speaking to him this week after a stop that we were ok and was aloud to carry on.
But he is going to crack down and he and his neighbouring countries will be policing their areas.
He has read the rules and is comparing the facts!!!! Watch out lads as he is happy to pull you !!
He is now going back to the rules regarding attendants ! He is now going back to one attendant per truck.
Many this week have been parked up at Stafford and Birmingham waiting for a second attendant to arrive.
This can be a es**rt or a muppet sitting in the cab. So be careful as he is back on Wednesday!!!!
