They're always on the brakes etc. give me a sales rep or courier anyday

I also hate following people who dont know the road or just habitually brake for slight bends.

But 40-50 tonne of milk tanker overtaking a group of downhill traffic by being in the uphill passing lane over the double yellows at estimated 130kph is rather silly!

True. The tankers now have GPS monitoring and G force thingames in them. Anything over 93km/hr for more than 4 seconds sends an alert thru to Hamilton, who then E mail the depot, who then call up the driver for a verbal bollocking. Same with hard cornering and braking. The boss at one stage was looking at disciplinary action for any minor incidents. Tankers are limited to true 90km/hr. Only time you're able to speed is downhill. Big brother is watching all the time and he has a big stick which he's not afraid to use

And to think that Ive applied 3 times to be a fonterra steera. They obviously dont want qualified truck drivers.

Thats probably a good thing then.

Looks like they are on a roll

Another one up north too

No wonder the payout is low if they keep losing so much of the milk!

Another drop in payout tanker vs station wagon woodville

Another young one falls off our road, the second one this month.

Looks like he was fish tailing before he went off.Straight piece of road.

^ Can't handle the jandal.

Maybe you need a "no muppets" sign at the end of the road.

At the start of the road would be more useful
