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.

Boxes, Boxes and some more Boxes
Another week done and dusted, lost count of how many pallets of flat packed boxes I delivered this week. I'm amazed that some of the places that I had to squeeze the lorry into were deliverable and after negotiating my exit I wondered how on earth I managed to get in and out without any scratches. Getting to know some of the side roads very well and I hasten to add don't intend to use them that often, once is enough. I'll stick to the main roads and keep a closer eye on the map instead of the satnav. Number of times it tried to send me into places that a squirrel would have trouble getting out of its unreal, you've got to know when to ignore that 'turn here' instruction. Today I found another bridge that is not on the map and on satnav, just a tinsy 12ft 3in high bridge, wonder what the 13ft 9in waggon would have done to it or vice versa. Oh and a small rant, when placing diversions please give some other warning , fancy closing down the A321 between Molly Millars lane and Gowrings Garage roundabout to all LGV's, that dastardly diversion via Abborfield is a bit much.
