Going to bed early now after a crap day - my 1st day on my own in a artic (had 4 weeks as co driver “training” )
Got to wrok this morning at 03:30am but didn’t set off till 4am due to tail lift wasn’t set correct - so prating around to sort that out
1st drop had to go the long way round hs bloody cars parked on the corners and pitch black!
Couldn’t find my 2nd drop as the postcode/map location was wrong so I got an infridment for going over my 4.5hr by 3min trying to back down a road to park up safety.
And the biggest blow - I smashed the windscreen on a pigging little 1inch think peice of branch in the top left corner of the 06 plate man truck. So ended up having to get back to the yard and do a witness statements on what happened. Drop was far too tight for a full artic (should have been a urban trailer!) Shop keeper was helpful though
Going down to have a shower and put it down to experience… bloody thing all i need as I am on the 3 months probation period.
Still shuntter said my reverse onto the bay at base was a cracking reserve (well done he said)
