well, I’ve had a good second day, had a nice hours run to leicester, sat there for 3 hours whilst 4 blokes handballed a full 40ft’er of this winters woolly jumpers and a steady ride back to tamworth to be told theres no more work to go so gave the truck a wash and had an early finish.
Got a 5:30 start on monday, tipping at telford then don’t know whats next…
oh and i am on days, but will have nights out depending on the loads i get, so abit of both really.
will keep you posted thats if anyones interested
It’s nice to see that you’re enjoying it. My dad use to work at roadways out of the leeds depot. It certainly makes for good reading with a diary with pictures. Certainly keeps us wannabe soon to be truck drivers the thought of what we are working too
Cheers
Jonny
seeing as you all like pics heres a couple from today.
the view for a long 3 hours
and two pics before it had a scrub
Cracking snaps. and if you have views like that for 3 hours it’s a good idea to catch up on sleep
Keep up the good work
Cheers
Jonny
I bet those bloody Stobbies got tipped before you did
Great stuff matey, I’m doing my mod 4 next Wednesday. I can’t wait to be getting out there on the road.
Do you know if they have any depots in South wales I could try? The type of work your doing is what I would idealy like days with a few nights out now and then.
By the way the more pictures the better

funnily enough I managed to beat the stobart ‘elite’ and got there 10 minutes earlier than schedured but they did get away before me cuz they only had 26 pallets unlike my 10000 cardboard boxes

Roadways don’t have any depots in wales, maritime have a depot in bristol I think thats the closest you’ll get.
This work is ideal for newbies like myself as its a steady job with plenty of time to rest.
congrats pal always good to hear of new lads gettin a chance i start my first class 1 in a week runnin for stobarts out of trafford park on nights lookin forward to it b a change from emptying 26t rigids all around city centres all day
