    Yep i 2nd that. Any jobsite ive been to to deliver roofing materials , always get held up..... Last time i delivered foam boards got there at our appointment, crane was late. Held me and my buddy up for 4 hours . Instead of using the forklift to unload foam boards and stack them to the side , nope they wanted to wait and unload each pallet piece by piece straight from the trailer to the roof........ Yeah good thinking boys. Me and my buddy got 4 hours of detention and we were the first 2 trucks, there with 6 more behind us, expensive decision they made ....

    Maybe he's not really in motion at all. He's sitting in lineup at the Chunnel losing his MIND!!!! I don't envy those poor guys 1 bit. That was pretty cruel.

    Look man, I like you and respect you... I honestly enjoy your posts and pictures, too. That being said, would you please get a load to western Pennsylvania and lay over for a day so I can clean that #### dashboard and detail your gauges and such?!

    I'd be upset too. Back when the "Why do Americans hate European trucks" thread was going full steam, I seem to recall that many drivers in Europe aren't out for more than a week or so. I'd imagine many aren't equipped to live out of the truck for more than a day or 2.

    Think someone posted that riots are starting to break out since the drivers want out of there.

    What I've seen was they are being supplied with food etc. And some drivers said they were often out 2 or 3weeks.
    But it's 2 days before a major holiday. FFS Macron. You coulda given them a little warning....
