Happy Weekend / Bon Weekend / Penwythnos Hapus

Good afternoon all. Hope everyone’s weekend is a splendid and joyous affair. Mine is, I’m doing roast pork later. Just a couple of pictures-

Waiting to load Tesco Brillo pads in Madrid in the nineties. Got there early and chap kept shouting ‘ocho, ocho! maรฑana. Ocho. Maรฑana. Ocho!’ to an increasingly bewildered man and his son. They’d gone home by time we worked out he meant 8 in morning! This was only something like Dads 3rd or 4th trip abroad and my second (first for both of us was Germany).

Like me Dad has always enjoyed variety and in that job one week he could be delivering to Madrid the next he’s hauling logs off a Welsh mountain.

Have a great weekend one and all and thank you for watching my rambles.

FREELANCE LUKE!

Hello everyone. So as many of you will know I was unfairly given the boot from my transport manager job at Virginia. The truth is I was thinking of leaving anyhow as the stress was insane. I got back on the the road on Saturday and it felt like coming home, hitting the M5 in a Volvo FH 500, radio on, stress free work, it was bliss and made me realise it all turned out for the best. Anyway, back to now. Im now a freelance driver. I want to work on my terms when I want to work. I've been a driver for 18 years and have a full clean C+E and D+E licences so I can drive coaches and trucks. I'd love a bit of coach work in the summer to keep my hand in. All up date with CPC and have a packages ADR licence. Im interested in a variety of work. Mostly local but I do want to do trips to Europe on occasion. I spent 3 years piloting a FH16 750 so I can be trusted with any truck! I have experience with many types of work. Fridges (hanging and boxed), flats, curtainsiders, euroliners, tankers,...

Today

Well I feel a bit better today having had a good sleep. I slept in a Gigantibus, or more commonly known as a Magnum, and when I opened the blinds I was greeted with an inch of snow and it's still snowing. So I've got to drive a truck I've never driven before, in snow, on untreated roads, oh and did I mention the truck is only a few months old! Today will be very much slow and steady with a good dose of nail biting!
