how did it go■■?

To be honest… I’m knackered!!!

Got a 5am start after dragging the unit and trailer out of the tightest, darkest pit they could find. Its a 5 yr old DAF CF sleeper in not the best condition, but hey, its a truck. :confused:

Gets down to Purfleet to be kept waiting on the gate whilst they have a cuppa. Finally I get led around the site by the forkie who points at a tiny gap alongside a Suttons tanker and a load of barrels.

Fair enough, crank it round and watch the look on the drivers face as I inch in :open_mouth: Decide to do the decent thing and jump out to say hello before I trash his nice shiney truck, with him telling me ‘they shouldnt make you do that’ :slight_smile:

Well, finally got it in there with no damage and then the fun started…
352 steel drums stacked 3 high front to back. And I have to handball them off :open_mouth: :open_mouth:

At 55 I’m not used to ‘hard work’ anymore, I actually like it when someone unloads whilst I have a brew. Not today!!!

By the time I got back in the cab I was crawlin’. Managed to get a brew off the lads though.

Tomorrow I’m off to Northants to pick up a trailer load of used drums, apparently I am going to get filthy… Great :imp:

Guys at the company seem fine, the boss was in at 5am to get me sorted so we’ll see how it goes :slight_smile:
