I had 2 hours listening to company blurb and then 2 hours talking to drivers to get the truth :stuck_out_tongue:

I got my 53 reg premium at 12.00 and put my stuff in while the yard man washed it for me :wink:

There are three of us who started on the same day. 2 came from Irlams so I daren’t call them mate :laughing:

Got my first job at 1500 to run to caldicote for tuesday to load :sunglasses: Got to the workshop at Fradley and that job was cancelled :confused:

At my interview I was told it was all good clean traffic and that we dont carry steel! My next job was from the Rod Mill :stuck_out_tongue: Although I was very surprised, they let you open the sides of the trailer in the shed and even help you nowadays :exclamation:

So I loaded at 7.00 and took a steady ride to Poole to start my holidays, Its a while since I had been to Poole and forgot how basic the facilities are, and the roads to it.

Anyway a decent weeks work, tipped Western France and loaded about 100 clicks away from La Rochelle. Shipped back cherbourg / poole for newark and reloaded at the Rod Mill to swap trailers with a french driver who has gone home, like me :stuck_out_tongue:

Looking forward to retiring here :slight_smile:

Loading Monday for Bordeaux. I dont know what to do with all this wine. :unamused:
