Tale of three Lorries

Had a call from one of the Agency's (the one that has kept me busy the most) with an urgent request. Could I do (if I'm free) a job tomorrow. Simple one she said, be at the clients site for 6am and you'll be dropping of some Marquees. So on Friday I got up nice and early and departed to the site.

When I got the the job turned out to be a bit different than originally explained.

1. Take a 7.5T to Finsbury Square in London and leave it there.
2. Collect a fully laden 7.5T and bring it back to the site.
3. Pick up another 7.5T from the site and drive it to Gloucestershire(2 hours) with 2 others who will add a few bits to a Marquee.
   

So in all I drove 3 different lorries that day, all 7.5T, the one in the middle being a W Reg Iveco was something of an experience. Three different tachos in one day. The drive to Gloucestershire in the pouring rain was 'fabulous' and unfortunately not having any wet weather gear I had to sit in the cab while the other chaps added the bits to the 'Tent'.

On the way back it was like driving in a river as the roads were so water logged that it was almost impossible to see the road markings. Of course the M25 was up to its usual standards on a Friday afternoon and the M3 was also stacked up, the information boards do have some uses once in a while. Decided to use the A30 to get home and arrived back @ 19.30. Having started at 6:30 it made an exciting 13 hour day.
