Glad to hear that your putting some pics up everyweek, i enjoy looking at them.
here we are again this is what i did last night i was at bedfords at birstall and i loaded the trailer at gower at halifax then tipped it at wicks at brackmills 2 hrs late then mt trailer to ray smiths at corby changed over and loaded one back to leeds … and thats another 12 hrs in the kitty.
here is some more this was thursday night i was at nyk at castleford went to load at boldon just below tyne tunnel then tipped at land rover solihull. not surprised that the uk car industry has gone down the pan if they were anything like land rover the lazy [zb]s.
not a bad truck after everything i had read i hought it would be a bag of bolts but it was ok.
I used to do the Gowers - Wickes run for Bedford’s quite regularly on agency, and reload out of RCS at Corby - good little run.
Which agency are you on for now then?
Btw, don’t even think about a job at Brownridge’s - they do a lot of piano moving and have seriously underpowered motors - that FM7 artic is a 290hp - no good at all. They pay really poor money too.
You need to resize your pics to 640x480 maximum (like mine and the ones in your original post) otherwise the text disappears off the edge of the screen and it’s well annoying. You’ve been using 1024x768 for the latter ones and that too big for the forums and AndyM will be after your arse. (see feedback forum).

…If I was the regular driver of that truck I would be Ashamed to leave it like that.
Every night while I’m fuelling up I sweep the floor out and wipe the dash down. The only place I accept dirt is in the drivers footwell!!
and before anyone says it, no I don’t work for a £200-a-week-and-a-tin-of-polish company.
I’ve seen a lot worse than that when I was on agency believe me, and I agree with Alex, it is pretty clean in comparison !
Some drivers are out there to do the job, earn their money and go home and not want a flash truck with 6" of polish on all surfaces, both inside and out
I’ve seen worse, I was on agency for a while last year. I was given one wreck that was so dirty inside the cab that I opened the back doors
and sat on a couple of empty pallets to eat my lunch. The pallets
were cleaner than the drivers seat!!
My cab is rarely polished, maybe once every 6 to 8 weeks, and even then its a light dusting of polish, but they way I look at it, I eat my lunch in my cab,
and I don’t eat around dirt, just like I wouldn’t sit in my shed to eat my dinner.
But the cab in the Pic, for all it would take to make it clean, a quick sweep with a hand brush and a wipe with a cloth over the lips around the buttons.
