Bit of Saturday trucking with the office crew this morning. Admittedly we had to blow the dust off a couple of driver cards, but if the customer wants it the customer gets it 😁

Took the boss man’s motor out to stretch her legs this morning! In Warrington for 5am to collect for a customer back in Leeds. Nothing is too much, if it’s doable we’ll do it! Unless you need a spider catching, we don’t like spiders…

Our newest addition all stickered up in one of our customer’s livery! It’ll be well suited on this job specced with full air suspension, and lower passenger side window, eliminating that blind spot!

It's that time of year again. Bringing the younger generations up through work experience. So far our new trainee Alice has learned where all the good cafe's and truckstops are and has sniffed out every vending machine for a 200 mile radius. All we have to do now is get the expenses through the office.

Good truck for someone in protruck drive thru auction tomorrow! Been a faultless truck and will be missed on the fleet, but must make room for new trucks arriving 🚛🚛

Exhaustive list of defects for the old volvo to be mot'd today. "1 x side marker lamp and washer jets unblocked". Not bad for 2.2 million km on the clock. They just don't make them like they used to!
