So apparently my run tomorrow is for Birkenhead, then Blackburn going from Worksop, by my calculations it’s tight to do in 8 hours driving (1 hour travelling to and from our depot)
Is it possible to do in the time without using any toll roads/tunnels?
Edit: I should have mentioned, leaving Worksop for around 4am.
What’s this 1 hour to and from the depot? Where are you travelling to and from?
Travelling from Doncaster to Worksop.
B&Q? I’d say Donny-Worksop-Birk is getting on for a shift of driving if you use the 56. Might be able to shave 45 off if you use the Wallasey tunnel. Blackburn is about an hour and a half if you use the tunnel, about an extra 45 again if not. Then 2-3 hours depending on Friday traffic back to Worksop then Donny. Think I’d be using the tunnel twice and then taking the lot back to Donny!
Not B&Q, but yeah I pretty much guessed it’s a shift of driving, only have a 9 hour drive left for the week and a 13 for duty time, so not sure whether the Blackburn will happen at all.
Sounds fairly reasonable to me
Once midday chimes on a Friday all bets are off.
A three hour run could take three hours or it could take five, you won’t know till you actually get there.

It’s Thursday and you’ve used three 15’s and a ten hour drive already? Change employers or learn to say no to them Neil or you’ll work yourself into an early grave mate.

You must be crazy, you have plenty of time, unless you wanna hit the m62 up near leeds, rather then going snakes pass or woodhead, manchester is only 1:15hr at that time from worksop, and birkenhead is only 40 minutes from manchester
