Diary of a new job

That’s just how they build DAF’s…

Seriously, it sounds like a challenging drive.

Booked in when??:
Expect to run your hours to the limit every day including doing 6x15’s a week.

Legally you can’t do that so they run bent then ?

You can if you run Fri-Wed

Evening all.
Sorry not posted for a couple of weeks but been busy doing family stuff etc.
So this is the start of week six and so far so good.
I did have a problem 2 weeks ago, parked up on weds night at the pit stop in Chippenham, woke up thurs morning with my left eye swollen shut with an infection! One of the staff took me to the local hospital, waited while I was treated and drove me back again. I can’t thank them or praise them enough for the outstanding service.
I phoned TSA who didn’t bat an eyelid an re-arranged the work and told me to stay there and rest for the day and if needed they would sort out a rescue driver.
By 0130 Friday morning I’d had enough tea food and sleep so knowing the roads would be quiet I decided to chance the trip back to Ashford truck stop! Possibly the most scary thing I’ve ever done… A one eyed trip in the pouring rain in a left ■■■■■■ I was only just really getting the hang of! Definitely the most irresponsible I must admit!!!

As for the “riddled with defects” issue. I can honestly say this unit is fine, no pulling left or right, air suspension works fine, fith wheel looks newish so possibly they replaced it. When I took it over it was spotless inside and looked like it had had a mini valet.And the best plus point is, I can’t get the bloody archers on the rsdio :slight_smile: oh and the fridge is fantastic.

Sleep time. Ads.
