A couple of pictures at last

OUT OF HOURS TRANSPORT PHOTO FORUM (MEMBERS ONLY)
1

Well i eventually took the camera to work yesterday and managed to get just a few snaps.

cant be many motorways this empty at 15.00 on a friday!

first drop. This is a store in grimsby


Thanks planners for all those lovely 5ft bollards…Great. The only way into this drop is a blindside round those things. and to make it worse the people in that house you can see in the photo come out and watch to make sure you dont mount the pavement and crack the flags!!

Job done so its off to Scunthorpe for drop two

Access through carpark…looks empty in this photgraph but an hour earlier it was full

Then back in to this loading dock

Look at the picture and you can tell a few have not got it quite right…
(ps also looks like ET is about!!!)

Again access is tight with cars one side and a wall and gates the other

time to leave…Well maybe not just yet till this guy gets off the double yellows on the corner.

Think they can get anymore metal work on this junction

Well thats it the first work photos will try and take camera with me a bit more and get some more.

That has to be the M180, more commonly known as ‘The Road To Nowhere’! (And I recognised it before I read further down to see you were in Grimsby)

If you think it was quiet on a Friday afternoon, you should see it at 4am on any morning of the week. I drove that road for about twelve months on bread deliveries and the only traffic you used to see at that time were the tankers coming out of the refinery at Immingham.

now ive got the photo thing sorted heres a few more from today!

~Nice trip to Horncastle for me. in this

Its another drop were the residents come out and watch you to make sure your not damaging there property.

mind you you get close!

Back in off this road. When your swinging round the unit JUST misses that hand rail

in place

This is how tight the gate hole is

also on this little road is a big tesco at the end so to say there was a bit of traffic was an understatement- but it went in fairly easy. Mind you dont think i could have done that 6 months ago thats for sure!!!

Good pics Bones, keep them coming, do u get to keep your own truck■■?

7

no on this shift its a different one everyday as some of the shops you cant get volvo’s in so its back to the premiums :open_mouth: :open_mouth:

8

or even worse a K reg Erf rigid :open_mouth: for one shop that runs on a specially built chassis apparently, so the wheels are right at the back. :open_mouth: though this as just been replaced by a new 05 plate volvo rigid but there is too much overhang on the rear and it dont fit as easy!!

:laughing: :laughing: :laughing: Exactly! That’s why I won’t do cages/trollies either. All the ones I get have got square wheels on them :open_mouth: :confused: :unamused: :laughing:
