blue estate:
Well I’m sad to say due to to my physical health being worse than I thought I’ve decided to go full time box jockeying and cut out the general/devan part
So it means a job change is on the cards
Don’t really want to but my body mostly legs say no
Is that the best idea blue , I’ve leg/ feet issues due to diabetis , keep going on about amputation, was at hospital week ago & really struggling to get a pulse in one foot / leg
And obviously there on about diabetis , but exercise seem to keep comming up , keep those legs moving , I exercise mine as much as possible , though you’d have to say it doesn’t seem to be helping a lot , though it could just be diabetis worsening
I’m finding after a night in bed , 3 hrs driving I’m really starting to struggle to walk , when I keep going seems better
Dozy , did you get the ankle test done to measure the pulse in the lower leg and feet.
Holland and Barrett sell red wine extract to help with circulation problems.
Or buy a foot massage machine.
Well little update on my plan which is now a 6 year one .
Left current job last Friday and start a Box jockey job week Monday 11th as I already had next week booked off , so officially unemployed for a week
New job is hourly paid for all hours worked but also get other perks like meal allowance and paid for CPC
Not touched a drop of drink since going dry on the 29th July , Next drink most probably Christmas .
No more pulling curtains in force 8 winds
Good luck on the containers, most of them on there carry an old scaffolding pipe to open up the rear doors that can be troublesome to open with the dried sea salt.
Hopefully no handball as the delivery point book in agency workers for a long handball tip.
Sometimes there’s waiting around when they fumigate the container for insects and other exotic specimens that have got a free ride from the other side of the world, the goods in staff will not start unloading until the process of it has eliminated.
I wouldn’t carry bolt croppers in the cab, if anything has gone missing, who gets the blame, as all the receivers who intake containers all have bolt croppers.
If you do open the doors, stand clear as you never know what’s inside as most of the paperwork never says, if a heavy load has shifted it may fall out.
On boxes you can over night anywhere as there’s no plastic curtains to cut, some drivers use a Bulldog lock or clamp on the rear door,but using that draws attention that it’s a high value load.
Or park up with the rear doors against a building or a wall.

Catch up when you can Toby, old blueys not wet behind the ears if you didn’t keep creating new log ins you might be able to keep up to speed
