So who else was stuck in that " well thought out " diversion when they closed the M74 North bound at Jnc 8 last night ?
i had just over an hours driving time left when i left the motorway but i still ended up ( like alot of trucks ) having to have a 45 min break at the side of the road in Hamilton as i ran out of driving time !!
took me nearly 3 hours ( including my break ) to get to Bellshill which is a journey that should of only taken me 10-15 mins !! 
Yeah mate, took me nearly two hours from Larkhall to Hamilton, and the road works on the diversion route!!!
Passed quite a few posh houses, bet they will be kicking up hell, all those trucks idling outside their £250k+ houses LOL
Its on all week I think 
Thats where i had my tea break, right outside someones house 
well i hope you enjoy doing it all again !!..im not back out until Friday 
you got diverted off at j8
the normal route is off at eight to the roundabout, take 5th exit towards Edinburgh A71
straight through traffic lights at Shawsburn
1st exit off next roundabout A72 Hamilton
then as soon as you go over the top of the motorway, you take the right hander onto the n/b slip road and back on to M74
but if you’ve been among posh houses you obviously didnt go that way
so where did the diversion take you â– â– ?
Clucking bell I’m going that way x4 today

the onbound sliproad was closed aswell, so you had to continue to Carlisle road, turn right, go through Ferniegair then through Hamilton and return via junc 6 !!
it was the lights in Hamilton ( the ones next to where the BP garage used to be ) that were causing the tailbacks as they dont last long on green, even though Low Patrick St was empty, the tailbacks on the A72 went all the way back to over a mile before Jnc7 on the A72 Lanark Road, well thats when i arrived at the rear of the tailback
i had my tea break on Townhead St
Well tonight I’ll be going south from Larkhall so shouldn’t be a problem.
LMFAO Was sitting next to a truck last night in the queue, he had pulled up on the kerb for his break, outside a lovely bungalow… with his fridge making a right racket lol
if its going to be the same all week, I’ll be heading up to Overtown, Newmains, up to Newhouse and join M8 West from there, rather than that ■■■■■■■■again. Ran out of driving time on way back to yard because of it, had to have my break in a services, rather than at the lovely snack van in our yard

Did you make it x4 or are you still there 
Just got home, had pretty clear runs both ways, wind was more of an issue on the last run from Abington down to Gretna, then the fueling system decided not to cooperate. Rest of the week I’m doing a couple of collections in Carlisle then down to Stoke and back, fortunately I’ll be loaded both ways.

Down south they’re known as starter houses at that price
