Whites Transport Services A Post From Pete

Hi all, This is
Pete from Whites Transport. 

Messaging via Luke. 

Some of you are aware, some maybe not, my FB page was disabled last night. I've spent over 10 years building the page up to what is was. A lot of effort has been put into it. So much effort in fact. Keeping everyone up to date with where we go, what we do & how we do it. Sometimes I sailed close to the wind with the content I posted but I genuinely posted what I thought people would find interesting. The good, the bad & the ugly if you like, I showed you all our achievements and our failings. Yes occasionally people got upset but they were sort of people that themselves looks for upset in everything. It was all just typical transport industry humour, ‘banter’ if you like, our intentions were only ever good, we set out to make people laugh, not cry. Make friends not enemies.

To say I'm gutted is an understatement, I had no warning this was coming, I was just logged out & a message to say my account was disabled with no chance of appeal. (This is a final decision was the exact wording)

A friend has a brother who works for Facebook, he is trying to help me but If I'm honest I can't see it working, Ill be extremely grateful if he can but the words (this is a final decision is all I keep thinking about)

Its possible the reason I was banned is because I don't pay FB anything, with the following I had I didn't need to sponsor posts like others do. I sold trucks worth hundredes of thousands of pounds without paying them a penny. 

Facebook community standards I think is the reason behind the ban and not because I said I was willing to sell a Kidney for 1000L of diesel - 🤣🤣

My personal account has also been disabled, I've lost all my memories of my kids when they were born, birthdays, holidays & Christmases etc etc. I had 2000 private pictures & 8000 pictures on the page, it catalogues our history & its all gone. 

I don't know if I have the energy to start another page. Maybe they won't even let me. 

I'm sure some people will be gloating about this, but a lot of people will miss my daily updates, my parking eye letters and the fact I don't give a f*ck what I say. We had a blue tick verified page, with almost 85000 followers, yet they still shut it down with no warning. 

Anyway - keeping fingers crossed. All the best - Pete 

P'S - anyone want to buy a Kidney ? 🤣

From Luke PLEASE PLEASE SHARE FAR AND WIDE. This needs to be known about, random actions like this by Facebook could destroy a company. So please share

#MyTopThree; Vehicles. Number 1

I was young once! (To be fair I was at least 35 here!) So……my all time favourite truck was never really in doubt was it?! My FH16 750 I drove for Virginia is the single best vehicle I’ve ever driven but as a whole the Volvo FH is in my opinion one of the best vehicles ever made, and the final version with this cab, the V3, the ultimate version. The only sensible downside anyone can ever come up with is inside space with the sharply raked screen. It was a struggle at first moving from a Topline but when everything else was just better about the Volvo, not least an extra 310 horses under my right foot!.  When Virginia gave me the 750 I thought I’d better make the most of it, of having the most powerful truck on the road as Scania had only lost the title a year or two previously so as everyone said (including me) they’d soon bring out a 750 killer. Well, that took a while. Only now have they released the 770S, 9 years after this truck hit the road and 6 years after I stopped driving i...

The Flexibility of In-House Training, Without The Cost

I offer you all the advantages of having an in house trainer without the cost or commitment. I will quote for your business based on how many drivers will need training over the course of a year, then you or your drivers can simply contact me when they wish to attend one of my online timetabled courses, taking away all the stress of trying to arrange up to 20 drivers to sit a course on the same day, much more flexible for your business and I take all the stress out of it. Let’s face it running a transport company is stress enough! I run daytime, evening and weekend courses, times to suit everyone. I also find this method is much more popular with the drivers. I am however also happy to quote for your online or in person courses, up to 20 at a time at times and dates to suit you at any location. Everyone who attends my courses and your office staff will be given my contact details and told I’m available at any time to help and advise as required. I’m always here to help customers, basic...
