Two nights ago, in the early morning hours, I saw the truck on M40 going south. The trailer was a bit tilted. This was because it has only 5 wheels… The rear right wheel was gone…
He was LHD and as much as I can tell from the number plates, there were short ■■■ ■■■, so Hungary, Baltic states or Scadinavia…
Also yesterday about midnight I saw a scandinavian style long lorry going A75 from Dumfries towards M74/M6. It has orange beacons, but no ■■■■■■. I thought that it might be a circus or something, but it was quite new Volvo FH… Did not seen any more, as was going opposite way.
Also last week on M6 I saw a huge mobile crane on the plates from Slovakia. The ones usually go with ■■■■■■ vehicle, and trucks carrying it’s wages, but this wan was crusing alone.
I wonder how long it took him to drive to M6 from Slovakia
And as for things above the heads, I saw this huge Airbus landing above my head on Heathrow

That’s the kind of wages we are looking for, sounds like a well paid job

Well, seems that you should look for a crane license

I guess I should write “weights”?
■■■■ happen, but I think it was dead funny with everybody moaning that East Europeans don’t make any money.
Weights could be the right word, but I guesed that already.
Well last night at about 2200 as I was heading round the M25 towards the M23 sneaking along the opposite way was a 15.9 tautliner that was now about 13ft Green DAF spacecab pulling it think it said ‘Edwards’ on the door.

Actually that just prove them right. All the British cranes of this size are followed by the trucks with wages and this poor Slovak chap was running only by himself
Funniest thing I saw was a couple of years ago a tractor and silege trailer pulled in by the police on the motorway hard shoulder at 0630… about 200 yards before it turned to dual carrageway almost made it
Saw a strange one on the A38 Wednesday morning, looked like one of those Mitsubishi Canter? 7.5 tonners, converted to a tractor unit with a 40foot twin axle on the back of it Said “Something or Other Health Blah Blah”

proberbly either had a air bag go or brake was busted or simlar…chained a few up in my time just to get the trailer off the road…have seen them do simlar abroad somewhere(could have been iran or eygypt)
And as for things above the heads, I saw this huge Airbus landing above my head on Heathrow
All the years i used to work around Colnbrook i never saw an A380 come in to land
For over 20 years I have tried to get the perfect picture of a Jumbo landing at Charles De Gaulle just as I am reaching the runway, it is either too dark, too foggy, too busy or simply in the wrong position. I wanted a picture of Concorde too yet the only one I ever saw close up crashed

When I first came to Scotland, I did it by hithchiking, and I helped Polish truckers to change it on the shoulder on the Belgian motorway, just outside Gent.
They managed to do it properly though, so no need to wheel removal…
Coming out out of Doncaster yesterday I was overtaken by a hearse, it was a motorbike and sidecar!! reg no T333REV.Wish I’d been able to get a picture.
Driving through salisbury the otherday and i saw a daf 18tnne curtainsider who mustve hit a bridge…badly! Cus the frame was severly twisted and pushed back. The bloke driving it looked like he didnt even know that he had a sleight problem!!!
and this poor Slovak chap was running only by himself
