It appears that I have actually finished seed dressing for the season.  I didn't believe it last week but the story is the same this week, so far!  Today contained nothing unusual or scary, I was delivering to Carlton store and my normal area with no new customers.  The truck was full to the rear doors when I left the yard with the last two rolls of wire being put through the rear doors.  I was glad to reach my first customer and drop all the fencing gear, the thing was wallowing all the way there.  Two packs of three to four inch stakes and two pallets of pig wire less and the thing drove better.  We are one of the few companies that regularly runs its eighteen tonne trucks fully loaded.  Most of the rest of the load came off at Carlton store leaving only just over two tonnes on the truck for four drops.  And one of these drops was only a pack of toilet rolls and two packs of washing powder, not a big drop.  Of the other three drops one was two twenty kilo packs of horse food, which I suspect was the wrong product, but we will see.  I delivered the product that was stated on the delivery note so the fault, if there was one, wasn't mine.  Then I delivered a thousand litre IBC of adblue to a quarry at North Cave.  Now that is an interesting place and I would love a look round.  Even better I would like a play on one of the huge loaders, they look fun to drive.  The only other drop was forty two bales of wood shavings to a farm, all to come off by hand and stack in a shed.  I put the taco on break when I started and managed to take a half hour to unload, since I had had a quarter hour at Carlton store that got rid of my break and I could continue for the rest of the day without a stop. After the last drop I went back to Carlton store and collected a full load of rubbish to go back to base.  You wouldn't believe how much plastic wrapping a store accumulates.  The day was sunny though windy and cool for the most part, growing cloudy later.  I was back in time to start loading for tomorrow, I have a bad drop, thirty second hand railway sleepers, all to come off by hand, not good.  But that's for tomorrow so I won't grumble about it now.  See you tomorrow.
