Finished powder tankers on Friday, really enjoyed the job and sorry to be packing in, but another opportunity has arisen, which I have taken, so start that Monday,more info on that later.
Just some pics and that of last week.
Monday morning truck looking clean.
Tipping a muddy building site in Nottingham
Supposed to tip one of these silos, but no one knows which one.
Finally they decided on the middle one.
Once tipped head back to Croxden for another load.
Just goes to show how quiet the building trade is by the number of silos stood about, theres normally only about 5 or 6 in here
Off to Salford next, saw this building off the M602 any ideas what it is?
Tight access to this site and what also told to hide me sat nav and phone, as a driver the previous week had had his stolen.
Old Trafford. Boo!
Next day, loaded cement, out of Lafarge at Cauldon Low, destined for Nottingham.
Just under 44 tonnes and away we go
Cement is good stuff to blow, around 25-30 minutes for 29.5 tonnes.
Once empty back to Cauldon for another load to Worcester.
Very tidy ERF 8 wheel tipper
Down to Aberthaw South Wales next, to load for Westerham. Saw some nice scenery on way down.
Cardiff airport
The cement works at Aberthaw.
Thought this sign was a joke, but apparently its true!
Got loaded.
This truck wash was very powerful.
Managed to make it as far as Leigh Delamere services, bang on 10 hours was hoping to get to the truckstop at junction 17, but didnt.
Showers were absolutely minging.
Rather him than me nighting out in this.
Tipped a tile factory in Westerham on Wednesday morning.
Needed fuel desperately.
Was worried in case I couldnt get any because of the panic buying, but the garages were quiet.
Across the Severn Bridge, back into Wales to do the same again.
Didnt know Galaxy was hazardous!!!
Met one of the other drivers for a brew
Nice Ford D series wrecker with a V8
Next job, load of ash,from Drax power station, to Hansons at Thatcham
Cheer up Zippy, only 195 miles to go!
Final job of the week, tip cement in Birmingham, then home.
Back at the yard, then empty the truck.
Cant believe how much crap you keep in a truck!
At least Id got the missus to come and help me," dont know where that ■■■■ came from honest love!"
Back on containers from Monday, driving a 95 XF super space cab drawbar, pulling for Maritime, looking forward to it to be honest. Will post some pics and diary soon, thanks for reading.
hours off sleep and more sleep to look forward to
