Work giveth & take it back!
« on: 01 August 2010, 00:19:00 »
Mondays can be iffy. Containers are on customs hold so the dreaded trailer work beckons. I was given the choice on friday, a trailer job or a container to be in Haywards Heath for 9am...which entails leaving tomorrow afternoon to beat the Monday traffic. I get paid fot it but i'm not in my own truck as it's in for test on Wednesday so i'm in the same Scania i've been in all last week Want my Volvo back!!!!
    Sorry. This will mean nothing to most of you, just letting off steam so to speak! >:(

You're right Guy, only time I hear Scania mentioned is when Kevin Wood refers to wheel nuts and so my eye's light upm but he never post's any pictures. :-/

You be a brave little soldier Guy.
I'm sure the Gobstopper will be back soon enough.
Anyway won't you be able to visit your old stamping ground to take your mind off the scanny for a bit?

Our company provides 5 18t rigids that get done up as floats at the Nottingham Carnival and I have done the procession twice......

The hardest thing is trying the not lose the band (playing on the back of the truck) when pulling off uphill on the route.........

Rest of its easy, just leave it idling along in 1st.......
