ppp stands for [zb] poor planing
had thursday off to take the misses to the hospital(the day was booked as a holiday).so once i got back from that i rung the transport offie to find out what i was doing friday.
the bloke in the office says how do you fancy 3 drops in london,i say yer fine why not.
anyway gets to work pick up my run sheet and off i toddle to collect my loaded trailer (which wasn’t [zb] loaded ). picks up the trailer goes into office to pick up the paperwork and low and behold its 4 drops in london.
so off i go to the first one which is a very small cash & carry type place next to a builders yard down a deadend street in wimbeldon.got there at 7am and left there at 7.40.
next drop was bookers cash & carry at battersea for 9am got there at 8.30 only to be hanging around waiting until 9.30 for the prat to open the doors to tip 2 pallets .
the third drop was bookers again back in [zb] wimbeldon not 2 minutes drive from the first onejust around the corner from where wimbledon footie ground used to be.
i get there and there is a wagon on the bay already.goes and sees the driver and he tells me that they are on there break at the moment and when they come out they can tip me first because he has 24 pallets of coke on the back.
at this point a massive thank you to the driver of that vehicle
so i leave there at about 11.00 and i have to trundle back over to battersea to 3663 which is not 2 minutes from bookers in battersea.when i get there there’s a richardsons wagon across the yard being tipped off the side blocking the yard and me and a phil hanleys driver sat outside the gate waiting for this bloke to finish tipping and get out of the way so we can back onto bays.
anyway i have to ring the office of the company we work for to confirm after delivery.so when i ring up they asked why it was late and my replie wasp p p.
three out of four deliverys didn’t have a booking in slot so why did they send me up and down the a217 four [zb] times
.
the best bit was i rung our office to tell them im empty and they said can you do a collection out of watford on your way back up,very reluctuntly i say yes and goes to watford to find out theres nothing to collect
.
so now i have run out of time and end up night outing at leicester forest east services.[zb]off ot say the least .
if this is the kind of beasting im going to get from this lot after 3weeks in the jobi may have to look elsewhere
