A tedious day, very tedious. It took two and a half hours to get loaded this morning, thank goodness I only had one load. The load was only four farm drops and Carlton store, but at least it was a full load. First drop only four bags of wild bird food, but on this drop you either back in or back out, turning isn't possible. I chose to back out, not a difficult task, about three hundred metres in all but the truck would sink in the soft ground if I got off the track. In and out, no problem. Carlton store and coffee then next farm drop. The customer is planning so forty bags came off by hand. Don't mind for this customer as they are nice people and are busy not lazy. Next drop a farm drop at Balne, only ten bags of hen food and all came off by forklift. Next bit was irritating, had to pass the entrance to my mill collection and go some fifteen miles or more out of my way for one gate. Worst of all when I reached the drop at Whitgift the customer hadn't ordered the gate, don't know what had gone wrong with our system. Anyway back to the mill collection at Pollington. Didn't have to wait long to load, wedged the gate between the pallets as they were loaded. Out of the mill quickly enough, I have sometimes had to wait a couple of hours to load at this particular collection. Back to base and ready to unload first thing in the morning. Friday tomorrow!
