It seems Ive avoid the “blizzard” 
Runcorn to Glasgow yesterday, and again today, while the “blizzard” hangs around in the south and tomorrow I’m going south when it comes North.
Just done Thirsk and scarborough…but Scarborough was shut,due to snow.
Just letting a pork dinner settle…in york lorry park,before the 2 hour slog home.
When the going gets tough…

I’m confused, is it better to be in an artic or a rigid?Sent from my Redmi 4 using Tapatalk
Duuhh keep up mate
That’s the question I was asking, artic or rigid in arctic conditions?
I realised that, but it was my feeble attempt at a (evidently crap) joke. 
Answer to your question…Rigid every time.

Don’t forget diff lock on [emoji2] tractor units make awesome drift machines set up like that, er, allegedly [emoji11]
“Set up”like that couldn’t save me this morning though. On a building site the forks says “yeah mate, loads of room round the back to turn round” so as I drive round I think to myself, mmm, not bad actually. What he didn’t tell me was go off the concrete road and you’re toast [emoji35] Not that I could see the edge between the road and the mud anyway due to the ‘blizzard’. I climbed out my side only to find it to have the consistency of sloppy cow ■■■■!
Lots of swearing and the help of a 20 ton 360 helped me out
Looks like you’ve lost your front no. plate mate.

Plate on the drop down flap to get to the tow pin? [emoji6]

I really need to gain more experience in this driving big truck lorries thing game.
Confession time, I’m on my second Merc since 2013, did not know that the plate came down to reveal the towing eye. …never had call to use it, despite doing farm deliveries.
Maybe been too good to get stuck eh?
