Got caught on the Croft interchange today. An hour to get from Warrington to Thelwall.
I’ve had a bloody week of it i tells ya!
It took me 3hrs from Mcburneys Liverpool to Newton Heath Manchester the first i noticed was when i left Iceland Warrington and the traffic stopped on the east side of the 62 as i got on it going west just thought it was a accident then it came on the radio. but was not icy on my side.
it once took me six hours to get from blackheath to rowley regis, a distance of roughly 3miles! It rained, then snowed, then turned to ice!
After a week like this I vote tomorrow night serious beer drinking night (for those not working)

I used to hate going into Christian Salvesen at Rowley in the snow. The only way in or out is up or down some pretty steep hills. Took me many hours to get home a few years back and I only live about 5 mile away. Powke lane was a waste of time as was turning left out the yard. I had to go a few mile out my way just to get away from the place.

I suppose I’ll have to, solidarity to my brother lorry drivers and all that 
terry t, was that the night the police closed powke lane because it was too dangerous, but doulton rd was still open even though it was steeper and more dangerous? I used to work at cs doing multidrop round brum in an 18tonner.

To be honest, I’ve been lucky as hell + had help from my sat nav.
I have a Tomtom 540 Live with the truck maps on it, and it knows about traffic, road works and closed roads and diverts me round whilst still taking into account the truck size.
I’ve occasionally wondered ‘why’s it taking me this way?’, then heard on radio that the M4 is bolloxed or the M62 is a car park and thought, thank you mr Tomtom…
I wasn’t planning on renewing the Live services when it’s due because of the cost, but I think I will do now I’m used to it.

That’s right. Salvesen trucks are not allowed to turn left out their yard anyway because it’s so steep yet the road was still open. I think it’s because Powke lane is a lot busier that the police took more interest in it.
