If you don’t live on the edge, you’re taking up to much space. …

Keep her lit :grimacing:

Tight…cor blimey gov, you still had 2 minutes left on the tacho, that’s a normal day isn’t it in the transport world…!? :smiley:

Now rest and watch the other nutters in their cars and caravans deal with the Saturday morning traffic jams while you sit with your feet up.

You did rightly too.[emoji41]

I was having to contend with a demo MAN480 that was set@ 54mph flat lit and 50mph on the A75 and then guts of 42T gross north on A77@ 45/48mph due to those aul time lapse camera’s!!![emoji52]

And I have had to contend with a week of adblue problems on my R450. Been to four different Scania dealerships on my journeys trying to get it fixed. Spalding, Stansted, Purfleet and now Milton Keynes where I left the bloody thing tonight!
Each one has cleared the ‘fault’ resulting in limp mode reinstating itself an hour or so after I have left.
sod adblue, euro 5/6 whatsit, computers on lorries and everthing else this week…roll on retirement :slight_smile:

Pah, I did 10 hours on the button to get a rigid back to the yard from a run to Cardiff and Birmingham.

It’s unusual for me to even be “at work” for 10 hours in a day, never mind actually driving for that length of time…!

No mate. I dont fly and I dont float :laughing:

I am parked at Stena now. The trailer I am picking up is in Belfast.

On the bright side, the trailer I brought down is Mondays run brought forward but I am still booked for 0800. I wont get a trailer until at least 1200. They don’t know that I know that and nobody has told me to start later. That’s 4 hours of waiting around on double time :smiling_imp:

I was on the same boat.

Was pulling a load of straw. All sheeted and flapping like mad in the wind
