Fyshwick trucker makin’ chaos

Madman said :

Poor truckie!!!

400ltrs of Diesel at approx $1.60 p/ltr would be a loss of $640.00
not to forget the damage done to the poor fella’s tyres and truck and everything else mechanical on it – wouldn’t be surprised if it’s written off due to structural damage.

I wouldn’t trust it being repaired and back to perfect as you’re driving that truck everyday – practically living in it for 9-10 hrs a day.

Don’t worry Madman, the truck is owned by CSG, not a truckie himself… CSG can afford it should they be found at fault – which I doubt. Who do you think is more skilled a driver, the person who spends 9 – 10 hours a day driving something that big, or us car drivers?

And Ant? Try stopping quickly in a fully loaded truck and dog that’s heading down a hill. Just sayin….

Let CSG put some spring into your garden.

i think the one in hume called ‘sexy time’ is quite amusing… that makes me laugh each time.

Whenever I go past Hello Sexy I say, “Who? Me?”

*haha*

Er … no … sorry. I don’t actually.

when i left a building right near there last night at 9pm (NO IT WAS NOT HELLO SEXY*)
they were still trying to restore the power and the road was still closed.

*hello sexy was closed… no power! oohhh there’s some potential for bad buns there!!!

I’ve been told by a few of the guys who were there afterwards that the CSG truck was almost brand spanking new.

Wonder if it was a replacement for the one that ended up in the ditch on the side of Horse Park Dr the other week?

The traffic seemed to be disrupted unnecessarily in Fyshwick yesterday afternoon. The cops had the left turn from Newcastle St into Gladstone St blocked and also the next left turn from Gladstone into Wollongong St blocked as well even though the accident was at the other corner of Gladstone and Wollongong St.

I’ve been told by a few of the guys who were there afterwards that the CSG truck was almost brand spanking new. Add in the diesel costs like someone earlier said, the damage to the building, the fact the truck cleaned up two cars and that sign runner is looking at one helluva bill.

Not to mention the pole that was sheared clean off its base.

Made to measure loam mattresses?

Nah, give up…

We need some mulch for home, I heard CSG does door to door deliveries.

I’m sure there’s a line in there about ‘garden beds’ but it’s just not happening for me. I may have to outsource the bad puns today.

perhaps the title needs to be changed to “tourist causes truck accident in fyshwick” – truckie did the right thing, but isn’t at fault here…

Yeah, that’s probably fair enough, but there’s no rhyming slang in the new title. 😉
