Big run and long shift




Two views of the drivers waiting room at Tescos Doncaster, noticed how it is decorated out to make it a pleasure to sit in. The two hours just flew by, i read last weeks paper twice and watched TV (but not listened as the sound was turned down) about somebody learning to windsurf. Bring back the days when we were allowed to stay in our trucks while we waited and we could climb on the bunk and have a nap.


These are the goods out bays at Princes in Bradford, not much room at the front to manoevre your back end on to a bay as Mr Innovate Driver is discovering. I think its a sheer drop on the other side of that fence, not that i want to find out...


Had quite a long day today, drove from Gloucester to Doncaster, delivered orange juice ( dont laugh its very heavy) and cottage cheese into the Tesco there where they kept me waiting for 2 hours. I then moseyed on over to Princes in Bradford to pick up 60 dollies or 25 tonnes of lemonade. I did ask the loader if diet lemonade was lighter than ordinary lemonade, he said no so that was the end of that little attempt at making a humourous conversation..... oh well i tried.
By the way stop sniggering, a dolly is a type of plastic pallet on wheels and not a little plastic figurine of a lady that you can dress up and put into exotic positions, not that i have ever done that either...... okay change the subject please.
