As you can see this is a map of Southern UK, i am based at Brockworth in Gloucester which is nice and central for the locations we drive to and is well served by the M5 (M roads are motorways) going North to South and the M4 which goes East to West and the A417 and A40 which takes us East. If you follow the road going South East you come to the town of Swindon and thats where i live. Notice all the red dots all over the map, those are all the places we deliver to or colect from. Please double click on the image for a better view.
Size Does Matter
Another pic of the truck, notice the height of the trailer, 15 foot 4 inches high. Yes the 4 inches IS important, especially if the bridge you are going under is only 15 foot high.
Short Course in Logistics
there are quite a few of us out on the roads of UK, the trailer you can see is refrigerated and we normally collect chilled food direct from the factories (suppliers) and bring them to our home depot where they are sorted into locations then another truck will later take them onwards to the various National Distribution Centres (customers) of the major UK supermarkets. After the delivery is made the truck will usually go to another factory and collect another load which in turn is bought back to our home depot and the cycle goes on....and on.....and on.
That was your short course in logistics management, you can now go in to the transport organisation of your choice, present a printout of this post and demand a highly paid position of Transport Manager which comes complete with large salary, unrealistic expense account, and of course the obligatory "Gun Metal Grey" BMW 3 Series. Please ensure you leave your personality and any common sense or reason you have at reception.
Many Thanks, have a nice day now, missing you already.

This is what i drive and who i drive for, we have just had a new fleet delivered, they are almost identical to the old ones (pics further up the blog) except for they have body coloured bumpers (horray) and no front fog lights (Boo).
They are all Fully Automatic, although i do still have to be there.
