It used to happen when I delivered ships’ spares. I’d be told to take a load to (say) Brest, in France. Ten minutes before I arrived, I’d get a phone call saying that the ship had had to leave on the tide, and I was to meet it in Vigo, Spain. So I’d head off to Vigo, and ten minutes before I arrived, I’d get another phone call to say that the ship had left Vigo and was on its way to Genoa, Italy. Then Athens. Etc etc etc. I’ve driven around mainland Europe for a month before chasing a ship and still ended up bringing the entire load back to the UK.That sounds like a great job to be fair. I love bouncing round Europe not knowing what’s coming next. In contrast I’ve known so many drivers that get so incredibly stressed if they have to go a long way for a reload, even of its in direction home. ‘What a waste of diesel/ time’ etc. Who cares, as long as I get paid I’ll go anywhere for anything
Didn’t LimeyPhil have that very same attitude?
