Since getting my Class1 license and making the transition from the dreaded Multidrop to much more realistic driving I have to admit that it is much more 'enjoyable'. This is my running commentary of how things are going or not. My views and comments on my work are also included. Class1 is much more enjoyable then driving a Class2 and trying to deliver a lorry load of stuff whilst rushing around like a headless chicken.

What was supposed to be a quick job turned out to be something else. The place is just of the A331/Aldershot roundabout or so I thought. Sorry mate the wagon is in the other depot, here's the post code. Off I go and the post code lands me smack in the middle of Glaziers Lane, nothing here that resembles a business park. A quick call to the agency and the firm calls back, sorry mate you're in the wrong place, here's how to get to us' At least when I got there a decent wagon was there. Down to Gosport to collect a trailer load of stuff for a courier company. Thought it might be mail/packages but it turned out to be something for the likes of 3663 and JJ Foods. Got to the site and told to park up and wait till a bay becomes free, well over an hour of waiting and then glory be a free bay. Time for a quick coffee me thinks, so off I go to the canteen and I decided on a soup instead. The machine must have had one of those days, even though I pressed the soup button a coffee came out. What the heck its warm and wet. Loading took ages and when I finally managed to get going it was well after the time that I was supposed to be back in Pirbright. On the way back a quick stop in Winchester services to give the wagon a drink of diesel, bloody hell £400 to fill it up and then a slight fun with the card. In the yard and after turning round and driving in I had the most wonderful of experiences, blind side reversing into the warehouse. Not so easy this time as the yard (if you can call it that) had the usual bits of bins, pallets etc littered everywhere. Finally in the warehouse, for a tight blind side it wasn’t bad, now I know why I hate them.
