ANGELFIRE1 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 As a retired trucker you have my sympathy, for the longest post I have read on this forum, you have my admiration. I only ever got to the Republic of Ireland in the truck, thank God. Angel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medusa Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 I went all over in my ex-husband's truck, from northern Scotland to North Africa, the Balkans and Scandinavia. I bottled out of going on his runs to Russia and the Ukraine as I didn't fancy explaining why I was in the truck without a business visa. I think you either get used to it and go with the flow or you stay at home. Anybody would think that driving a truck is a career with high glamour!

Shogun Posted April 15, 2012 Author Share Posted April 15, 2012 What a tale of woe. Shogun. It evokes memories of a trip I made to Tesco at Magor........... Lol !! I went to Tesco Magor Wales last week,when I worked for Pawsons a few years ago we had a regular run to B&Q there one of the lads ran out of hours so he parked in a lay-by for the night and while he was a sleep his truck load of flymows was emptied off.

I had a tank of fuel emptied there, probably in the very same layby. Should have gone up to the dervices, but my time ran out on the bay, and they wont let you stay inside overnight. The joys of wales, eh? ha ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
