W&E going for a record for the number of accidents in a week.
W&E again? What’s going on?
Looked like a brand new truck. More of the tax payers money down the drain
It is not just the truck consider the wall and how many man hours it will take them to rebuild it…unless we hire a private company to do the work maybe the two guys who fixed Shelly Bay bus shelter in two days.
Spanking new. Got a cement truck too.
No comment (I think).
Job creation, someone to pull the truck out, some one to fix the truck and someone to fix the wall.
The driver will get promoted!
I guess the promotion will be for them making an impact on the economy.
Still waiting to see the brand new bus.
Who tested these W & E drivers for their ability to drive a truck? Oh yes, I forgot, it was one of their mates at TCD…
Perhaps W&E will fix the home owner’s wall gratis?
the driver was on his cell phone this morning driving east on north shore
Don’t worry this government has more money to waste on another truck for another year…at our expense.
