Well just thought i would post up a couple of photos from two deliveries from this week. Just got a camera phone and a usb attachement so got a camera with me all the time now…so here goes.
ILKLEY-Station Plaza.
This is from a delivery in Ilkley this is a picture of the Gate way in.
Nothin too special there i here you say. Well the problem is were the truck is parked is on the loading bay so you cant back in off the road from either directon as you couldnt get round onto the bay without striking the gates.
So you have to drive in upto this wall on the left
SPin it and head towards these bins
And then try and get the lock off with this
Straight in front of you…
Also just to add to the fun there is a step change in the gradient of the yard. Not sure if you can see it in this picture.
When youve done the only way to get out is head back for those bins and shunt until you can “bend” the trailer the right way and jack it back up the yard so you can drive out the gate.
Eastbourne road-Boro
These few are from a kwiksave in middlesboro. Again Every possible obstruction is here for you. Also this is classed as a dangerous delivery point as we have had two drivers attacked in this place and another couple with bags stolen from cabs. We now take our bags into the shop while delivering
This is the entrance to the yard.
And yes that is a roundabout dead in front so the way into this is to drive in and you are greated by this
Yep the local vagrant’s house. Mind you the neighbours are not much better this is a shot of the “FLATS” above the shop
So when you have navigated round the local low life and screwed it round on a muddy surface between these obstacles
You can back it upto the door but dont forget the container which is placed right alongside (just see it in the mirror)
Anyway thats all for now. Just thought i would share some of the great sites from this week
