I need to get a tank out of freightliner tomorrow morning to be in irlam for seven. Anybody know what time you can get in there to get one lifted on? I’d have done it tonight but it’s still in Southampton and won’t be in Garston till early hours.

I’m not sure, but I think it’s 24hr? BUT you may have to get your company to request an early lift?

I know Freightliner in Trafford Park is 24hr so I presume thats the same

Thank you both. Might just get there for 5:30 and hope for the best. Should be quiet then hopefully.

Hey Rob, they are open 24hrs through the week. No later than 0530 at Garston if you need to be on time for Irlam though. It gets busy around sixish, and they will probably still have one crane working.

How did you get on? When I was passing the M62 on the M60 there had been a serious accident, so don’t know how long it had been there or whether it affected you

All fine thanks. Got to garston for 5:30 and finally got out gone 6. Just got to Irlam for 7. Managed to avoid all the traffic from that accident, at the time I was heading back to freightliner for another tank of wine. Hope you didn’t get caught in the traffic.

No, I’m a super driver, so I flew past it :grimacing: (ok, I was going in the opposite direction)
