Thursday was boring

Thursday was an early start and I was tested right from the start with a drop in this tiny yard in Barwel.
I decided to ask how to get in and I was advised to reverse in. My heart dropped because I expected him to say "oh its OK drive , we come to you" .

I made it look fairly easy I have to say and I was very pleased with myself for two reasons

1) I didn't hit anything or take any shunts.

2) I decided to ask first and risk looking silly rather than twist the truck up or the wall and look stupid.

After that I was placed on standby in one of the satellite yards and waited for something to come in.

I was getting pretty bored just sitting around when I was asked to return to base .

I was presented with this A 32 tonne Scania. I was asked to go over to one of our customers to get it loaded with 18 tonne of tiles.


I had never driven any thing so large before and i was a little shell shocked.

I had the gears explained to me. They were on a stalk on the steering wheel column.

I took my time and managed to get from A-B and back again without a hitch.
A nothing day really, just sitting around for most of it.
