The mechanics want my truck to service it, they wanted it yesterday but no one told me and I'd got it  loaded before they found me.  Hard luck, perhaps today, if I'm back in time.  I got the look before I left the yard and the tapping of the watch.  So I started with a time limit, I had to be back by half past four,  perhaps they'll be lucky today.  I managed to palm one of my drops off one another driver, I wasn't anywhere near the place and he was and he made the mistake of letting me know.  I'd do the same for him, well perhaps maybe I would, that is unless I saw him coming.  No I'm not really that bad but nearly.  The load was a bit of a jigsaw and some of it came off and went on again three times before I was satisfied that it was secure and loaded to the best advantage.  And after all that I still had to hand back tickets totalling over five tonnes.  Our TC has an interesting idea of how many tonnes fit on an eighteen tonne truck.  Still the day went well and I had the fun of a trip over the Humber bridge and three deliveries on the other side.  I always enjoy a trip over the bridge it's like going on holiday without the expense.  Oh the simple things in life give such pleasure.  Well the day went well, although I managed to make a mistake with my digital taco and had ran out of hours when I didn't expect it.  Things got a little tight but I drove over the pit in the garage by half past four, what  a set of happy mechanics they were.  I like to see them happy, it stops them grumbling for a short while.  Four days off, yes a whole four days.  I used to hate bank holidays when I was self employed, now they're fun and I get paid.  See you Tuesday.
