First Week in New Job


Well what a week total shock to the system.this Daf is what ive been driving this week til my artic came today. Ive only ever done Tank work or Fridges so didnt know what to expect but im really pleased ive made the move and went for this job.
Firstly ive lost half a bloody stone with netting or strapping loads,Sweat…ive never sweat or ached as much as i do after this week,i feel like ive done a good weeks work to b honest.
As you can see ive been on a wagon and drag all week,what a nitemare it took some getting used to driving it lol in my opinion a lot harder to drive than an artic,i dont kno if theyre all the same but the Daf turning circle was poor but i am used to using an artic! i got myself in some tricky situations on sites this week.
My new boss picked my new motor up lastnite (Pic below) and im on the road in it Monday so chuffed to bits,It will be pulling a flat with a Moffett on back.Real pleased i took the plunge now and applied for the job i hope i get into it,its gona be hard for a while been the new boy and not knowing a lot about the job but i will get there i hope.

My New motor,bit plain at mo but i will soon add my ickle touch to it. :smiley:

The Scania look’s spotless,good luck in the new job and mind the corner’s when your empty with a moffett on the tail end. :astonished:

Yer it is spotless mate,why u say that bowt corners?? are they bad for sliding a bit ive not pulled trailer with one on yet,they must weigh a couple of ton dont they? i kno they look like they over hang a fair bit so i will av to go careful in that respect.

Ive never had a prob with the corners and i pull one behind me all week! :wink: I think ellies dad just means the trailer will be rear heavy without a load and with a 2 tonne moffett on it!


Can just about make it out behind!

It was even ok hanging off the back of this flat too…
