I have been in Loughborough for the last few days covering for the regular driver and managed to snap a few pictures on my rounds.
This was the drop I couldn't get off on Friday because the great institution that is BRUSH in Loughborough shuts early on Fridays and has done for 20 years, or so I was told by a gleeful security guard
This blinged up truck was hiding in the loading bay.
A lot of the drops are really close to each other and you end up passing by the same places over and over again.
This one delivery was held up while the forklift truck was rescued. It had fell down down a tiny step and want powerful enough to get back over the lip of the concrete.
It doesn't look it, but the drama was intense!!.
There was a delivery in a beautiful county estate.
There was a sign that said, "Beware of the Dog Do Not leave Vehicle".
I sat there for ten minutes until I realised it was an old sign.
Eventually this JCB came and unloaded me and parked me next to this lost and forgotten truck.
I spent the next two days on the 7.5t fleet in the whack wagons , an old Y reg and a newer but smellier 52 reg.
They were so dirty that your hands were black after just holding the steering wheel .
I have to take baby wipes and give everything a good clean before setting out.
A day down south in bath today went OK but I was flat out again and spent another 12 hours plus in the wagon.
I have a late start in the morning 8 am.
