Back down to Marbella
All being well, Iām supposed to be doing my first Class 1 run on Tuesday. No idea where yetā¦
My lorry is in for an inspection on monday and as the other driver is off Iāll have the 18t monday which is a old style DAF 55 (rather than my LF55), itās a total heap with a knackered seat and driving it is something like Iād imagine riding a athritic hippopotamus would be.
Two local drops are loaded already. Local to us is Norwich city drops rather than further out in Norfolk, which is distance work!
After that who knows, probably pick mine up later in the day as well Iād have thought.
Cleckhudderssedgefax for 2 pm Monday or somewhere nearby
I bet its half way up an ill!
Good luck with your first class 1 run Spitfire .
Yes its still local warrior but they class local as
rotherham, sheffield and doncaster only
23:00 start Grantham to Radlett back to St Neots for 06:00 tip that means an 8 hour shift with 2 hours in bed its a hard hard world :):):)ā¦
nice easy start to the week am delivery to basingstoke
Iām on agency, so I donāt know what I am doing.
It could be nights for haulfast, which it will be a 19.00 start
Just hope itās not Argos at Basildon, I hate that place, blind side reverse on bays which are on a angle, no space, lights blearing down at you, shunters waiting, trucks waiting, and thatās just for me, some truck driver parks his trailer over white line or does not back trailer to the end of the bay and sticks out, so struggle to get it, sweat pouring of me, everyone claps when I get in 30 minutes later.
Need to go back several times there just to practice blind side reverse on nights thatās the place to go.
Or the agency will ring on Sunday and say there is a special job for me (I hate that because itās a contract no one wants to touch)
But thatās the life of an Agency Driver

No. The agency have agreed with the workerās to opt out. It doesnāt apply to me.
