Well another weekend gone and a another week started so I thought I’d do another week in the life of JTF. We start at base in Leeds with an easy 07:30 start taking returns back to Metsa in Widnes that I collected on Friday last week. I get all my stuff into the lorry and do my checks and away we go.

I arrive at widnes in good time despite monday morning traffic and i get here for 09:40, tipping and collecting for 6 drops starting in hertfordshire ending in a place called Bulphan. A good start to the week as 4 drops are inside the m25 which means a little extra in the pay packet next week.

I eventually get loaded and strapped down ready to go, getting as far down as i can to my first drop in hertfordshire as i can as i won’t be able to get offloaded until in the morning.

I get a few hours down the road and get parked up at Jack hills cafe at Towcester with plenty of time to spare. Starting up again at 05:30 in the morning, giving me around 13 hours off so i give the lorry a quick polish.

So alas that’s my day, apologies it isn’t as interesting as most other days but alas it does get better! Just have these slow days where its just a load up and park up jobs.
Next update either tomorrow or wednesday till then take care folks.
Cheers
