Essex and Back

Nice shortish trip out to Essex this morning. Had to be in Colnbrook at 6am at a well known company's offices. This time it was a larger Class2 wagon that I got my hands on. Good job that I checked the fuel before setting off otherwise I'd have been pushing the lorry on the way back, quick reverse on to the fuel point and extreme fun was had trying to fill up in the dark. Had to go to Schenker Logistics to load up and then on to Basildon, Essex. 12 pallets of costume jewelry had to be delivered by 9am. The weather was atrocious and as usual the M25 proved to be something in itself. The ongoing roadworks and the 40 & 50mph limits were not helping. Wouldn't it be nice to have a motorway without any road works. Loads of 'Average Speed' cameras and people trying to cut in. Took over an hour to get there and then the unloading which was pretty quick. The journey back as usual was slowed down by the infernal road works but still made it back to Colnbrook by 11:30. Park up, do the paperwork and on the way home by 12:00. Not a bad days work if the weather was better.
