But been in this for a couple of weeks because I’m the only person at our place that can use the ‘pig’ the MAN is my usual ride.
It’s been weird learning to reverse a rigid again. Anyway, only 5 more shifts then onwards and upwards.

I should be in a very similar set up to you next Monday (10th) Andrewv8. I’ve not driven a Volvo for about 14 years and I’ve never pulled a bulker [emoji30]

My little 'un - only small but she’s brilliant - 22mpg on slow A roads, 1800rpm at 60mph and I reckon she would do 85 (not that I would of course).
And the chassis only cost…wait for it… £510!
I DO like playing trucker!
