Only way to get to the gate to back in was around a restricted (big wide) road or an illigel u turn at a junction just below the site. Sometimes you just can't win. You'd get the odd scania wit stacks or side pipes but our exhaust brakes are nothing compared to the jake brakes.

The weight limits not policed. 1 nimby (taxi driver) in the area tried to get an anti HGV Facebook group going last year which failed spectacularly. Personally it doesn't bother me and see some nice yokes passing the house. Though did come out of the house at 7am one morning few weeks back to find a wareberers parked up having a cuppa across a few of the neighbours driveways

Even near where I live there is a road called Blarney Street, it clearly states the road is unsuitable for heavy goods vehicles and is a 3T weight limit, using to schools/business/residential areas there, trucks have no choice but to travel down it.

To be honest I'd hate to be facing into a multi drop in cork city if I didn't know it because you know yourself it's easy make a stupid little mistake when your under pressure and a lot of the north side a street just narrows all of a shot.

I know I see it myself every day I just meant it's tough for someone who would have no idea of the area. I remember a few mounts ago i was going to a place in Waterford for the first time just beyond WIT. Not in the IDA it's a building on it's own and it's a bit hidden. At the end of that road it's all residential and 3.5t. If you passed it you could get yourself into a lot of bother in an artic.
Cork Truck Driver wrote: » Yeah google maps did indeed send trucks up there. Anyone who is an outsider from the area who gets caught up in it has my full sympathy, clearly because they would be none the wiser to it. As for Waterford, is that in Ballybeg?
