Had a strange run on Wednesday, not that I do many Rigid jobs but once in a while why not. Delivering car parts to 2 garages, bloody posh garages if I might mention. On the way to the second one I got a call to collect a few cages from a small garage, as they haven't got any room. Small isn't the word, and a 'few' cages turned out to be a full lorry's worth. The best thing was that on the way back the road that I drove on has got a 'Not suitable for HGV's' sign and it would be the way that I need to go through. It wasn't there on the way to the garage as I would have noticed it, bit difficult to miss those signs. Not wanting to risk a stop and a spotfine I decided that a slight detour round the Surrey countryside had to be made, made it back to the yard with 1 minute to spare on my driving time, just didn't fancy stopping in Bracknell for my 45 minute break especially if it was just yards from the yard.
