Oh what a day, had to collect a unit & trailer from down the road and then park it behind the offices. Now the only way in and out is pretty narrow so was informed to reverse it in. After a few shunts it was in its rightful place and I thought that this can be a beginning to a good day. Collected another Unit & trailer and was sent to the Horseshoe to work for one of the freight handling places. Loaded up with 10 tonnes of some sort of liquid Mexican spice and went to Swissport. This is where it all went pear shaped.

Can't take it drive, there is a broken/leaky box and no damage report. Back to the Horseshoe and collect a report, this was after waiting for 2 hours to be tipped. Arrived back at Swissport and booked in, expected to wait another few hours but low and behold my number came up after only 10 minutes. Tipped and knackered as I had to pallet truck it I went back to the agents. One more job for you, back on the bay thinking that it will be some more drastic loading. Three boxes that was all. Take it to Air Canada they said, that is only 300 yards up the road, could have carried it there. No chance of that, seal the lorry drive up book in and unload.

On the way back to the yard the lorry throws a wobbler and tells me that the unit is not level, called it in and informed to drop the trailer and park up. End of a long day.
