Not that keen on doing nights but once in a while I'll dabble. Had to go to Saxon Trading Estate last night, nice and windy road with loads of pot holes leading in and boy was the estate packed with lorries. Seems like most of the UK's fleet was parked up there. Then the work started, firstly a 7.5T to collect some stuff from BA, then had to collect 2 12T from DAF, then take a trailer to a park yard and collect another. First time I've driven a Foden (basically a DAF) and pulled a container. Got to admit that the trailer yard wasn't in the best of health, loads of huge holes filled with water and almost pitch dark. Back in the yard and went in a van to collect the rest of the stuff from BA, still not ready. Must have driven almost every type of a vehicle they had in one night.
