Up to Wallsall

Up to Walsall last night, trunk job but I wish I had a better unit. This DAF even though it was a 07 Plate was a bag of bones. The manual gearbox was terrible, kept jumping out of gears and just didn't have the power to pull a Double Becker, especially up hills. Even when on a flat it struggled, lets hope tonight I'll get something a bit better. Saw an accident between J10 & J9 on the M6, looks like a car tried to jump the line and got wedged in front of a lorry. No time to look just a quick glance, hope the poor sod was OK. When I got back to the yard at 3am had some fun, yard very badly lit and with units parked everywhere, trying to back up to a spot was fun.
