Arrived 08.08 for a 09.00 booking, thousands of wagons queuing to get in ! & drivers standing with their hands in their pockets waiting to get out. I’m in lane 3 behind 2 Artics. Zzzz.
I HATE THIS PLACE !
08.16 Wow ! 2 wagons got let out together.
My queue still not moved.
Lol you might have time to learn polski by the time you get to the front
Bored are we lol
08.24, moved up one place,
they let 3 out together.
Blimey ! 08.26 Another 3 are released from this HOLE !
What a Poxy Job, wandering around with a tablet in the wind & rain.
08.30, Result, they’ve booked me in, (made me seal the back doors, just to drive through the gate ■■?) but, there’s a container in front of me (not booked in !) Durrrr.
08.34, I’m in, now for part 2 !!!.

Ha ha’ski.
08.57 Part 2 complete, on bay 64 (only took 49 minutes to get here !)
Poor flip flop next to me got told “it might be a few hours to get his ‘4’ pallets off, so he might as well get his head down”
Now for part 3, 26 pallets of Totes off & 26 pallets of empty totes back on.
I asked 'em if it will be done by 12 as I’m on a flight a 18.00 & he said that it should be !!! Lol.
09.31 Hooray, Red Light. Maybe they’re gonna start me ?
Nah they just luring u into a false sense of security
Places like this should be banned,the time it takes at some places to tip a truck is disgraceful…
And before someone says your “paid by the hour” yes I am but I don’t want to spend all my time at work in these hell holes.
Yipee Yi Yay. 11.00 had 2 hours on the bunk & they’ve finished. Only gotta get out of the gate now. (Fingers crossed) & Mr Flip Flop next door has gone, so they must be having a good day.
11.15 RELEASED !
My hate scale for this dump has gone down 1 point, still hate the place though.
What’s a flip flop? Where are you off to next then MV?

A Flip Flop is a European Chauffeur de Camion (lorry driver) & I’m in Milton Keynes now, tipping 20 pallets of empty totes, then I’ve got a couple of collections then I finish & I’m on holiday for 2 weeks touring Bonny Scotland in Marvin the Motorhome. Yippee !
Is Knowhow, what use to be Mastercare or is it a new place in Newark ?
Sorry, haven’t been there or a good few years.
our record in that [zb] hole is 4.5hrs and that was for a transit van with 1/2 pallet 
any job in there now has waiting time after 1hr @ £90 ph 
9.00 booking arrived at 8.08 nearly an hour before your slot time tipped AND LOADED by 11.15 if you had arrived on your correct booking time you wouldn`t have been hanging around for best part of an hour and you may well have still been tipped and loaded by 11.15 considering that there was most likely other Drivers with earlier bookings than 9.00 in front of you.
2.15 hours to tip and load is nothing.
Won’t see you for dust then, mv. Enjoy!! Going to warm up too I think. I was there a few weeks ago but then letter arrived with a speeding ticket a week after - oops
diary fri 28/8/14 are you sure about that
