Been doing day runs all week. Tomorrow i've got a 40ft container of BBQ charcoal for Swindon. Given the allowed daily driving hours i'm pushing getting there & back, then told the empty container has to off load @ Aldridge, (top of Walsall) got no chance of getting home on a friday.
Not just that but:- my truck failed it's test on one rear brake today so i'm in the yard motor (rattly old Scania) dragged my bedding & telly out of my own cab. >:(
Not just that but as i was about to hop in the Beastie & go home i was asked to drop my skelly & box i'd just loaded, park the unit up & be @ Swindon for 11am instead of midday as "the office" had to swap the 11 & midday jobs over.
End result:- I have to be in @ 5am instead of 6, have to couple up before coffee time & sleep in the yard Scania when used to the comfort of my Volvo Globetrotter CD.spec :(
