Nice blog so far , Love the first pic .
Thought I read you where going to Yanke ?
ps I worked for CS at the Normanton depot a few times this year on agency . Not a bad number but the trucks were filthy , Did a few night trunks to Gloucester Rowley Regis and Northampton. I found the drivers pretty friendly and OK to get on with.

Our lads share a truck each one on days and one on nights so they are kept clean and tidy in and out, we found that was the best way to a longlife.
We are according to the rest of the company the Black Sheep of the company and millitant too. lol we are the best of the lot no hanging around in our depot for trailers or the like.

Nice start to the blog, and i left you your first comment, coming over in Sept you might miss the heatwave, that might make the training a bit easier, you sweat your nuts off doing the pretrip in this weather.

I'm glad about the weather i'm not one for super hot but don't mind it.
Should just about be right for us when we get there then.

Was being the word, change of mind and the fact that H&R use VRV to do all the admin swayed me to go there and that you dont have to pay them which i didn't know at the time so looked else where.

Ah not true at our place we give them the same trucks as the others and they are normally in the same condition as the rest.

Yeah I quite enjoyed it this afternoon , He wound me up at first (as you could tell) but then started I to enjoy the banter and gremmie makes me laugh ..so down to earth.
Yup that's me done now , driven my last UK truck , removals come in the morning and were off next Sunday , Everything as fallen in to place for us for this to happen , almost like it was meant to be, bit spooky sometimes in fact. And it just feels right somehow. When parents are buying their kids stab proof blazers its time to leave me thinks .

I did read it on and off through the afternoon and was going to post but thought the better of it, Gremmie is a laugh but he post like a Swiss person very short and sharp sometimes, bit like a German but more superior lol, he will get for that i'm sure.
Jeez it's not that bad round here. When we first moved here all the kids where real young apart from a few now they have all grown up into little ------- but most of the time they are ok just have no respect for you or anyone else around and we live in a cul de sac where all there rubbish collects and never gets picked up by them and there parents who are there too dont say a thing,i really dont like living here anymore its just not got any soul.
Great to here it has all come together for you and i hope things turn out right, but hey you can always walk away and try somewhere else it's no big deal just a job. Like you say life's what you make it.
