🐶 “Can You Move Your Van?” — The Tradie Question That Haunts Us All 🚐🤣
Richard’s Rant from the Driver’s Seat… Literally.
Let’s set the scene.
It’s 40 degrees. You’ve just rolled up to the customer’s property. You haven’t even popped the bonnet on your tool bag. You’re mid-sip of your servo coffee…
And they say:
“Umm, can you move your van? I need to get my car out.”
💥 Enter: The Worst Part of the Job™ (as declared by Richard).
🤦♂️ What You’ll See in This Vlog:
- Richard trying to reverse a VW Crafter (a.k.a. a yacht on wheels)
- A long, narrow driveway with zero forgiveness
- A slightly emotional rant — the kind only tradies truly understand
- And a message for all customers everywhere:
“Check the text message we sent you… we did warn you!”
📱 Yes, We Actually Warn You in Advance!
At Plumbdog, we try to make life easier:
- Every job gets an automated SMS on the way
- It includes your ETA and a friendly reminder:
“If you need access to your vehicle, please move it out of the driveway prior to arrival.”
It’s polite, professional, and totally ignored 73% of the time. 😅

🚐 A Message to Our Fellow Tradies
We see you.
We feel your gearbox grinding.
We too have stood in a stranger’s driveway whispering, “Why… like this?”
Drop a comment if this has ever happened to you — or if you’ve ever rage-Googled “how to reverse a van without breaking your soul.”
