Start of a new chapter

[SKINY]

Just finished 12 hour shift sat about a few hours until about 3 then it went mad lol, wee truck was everywhere today between Bangor and the International airport.
Last job was a golf beside the airport, sat nav took me past the roadworks and I had the golf up the drive and truck put away 10 minutes before the customer got home, they left me to it at the roadside and they had maybe 15 minutes on me and I stopped for a Slash and a Hot Chocolate lol
They got caught in the roadworks, I slipped through the Docks and zero traffic

Thanks Mate


Paddy Donnelly 4X4 Centre Co Wicklow today with Another misbehaving Land Rover they really are bags of shite lol
Had to lift it from Boucher Road but got an urgent diversion to a Bentley continental GT that decided to spit the gearbox out on the M2, literally bits falling out on the bed of the truck lol, It was a Bentley Mechanic with it so I instructed him to drive it on in case it went tits up halfway up lol, Safely is No1 priority when working on the hard shoulder, luckily enough it was slow moving so it wasn't a Bother, 2 straps on the passenger side then drove to nearest Safe Place to put the drivers side straps on

Who knows where and with what tomorrow

Double Troble earlier lol, Jeep shit it's clutch and the Corsa was a RTC(road traffic collision)no other vehicle on scene, hmmm, young boy was rather sheepish, said van hit him didn't stop. I didn't judge just got it on and gone.
Both in East Belfast not far away from each other so The Jeeps passengers got shown how we do it lol
It's an American spec lift on that truck, real good bit of kit but a bit different from the other trucks, same principle different methods

 

[SKINY]

Box fresh
Still to get livery and delivered, think we have 2 or 3 coming plus a low loading track machine for electric pieces of shit and car parks
Electric cars are generally shite, when they go wrong they are just big paperweights.
They just get trailed on

Mission successful
We had to use Slipy Jim's and various bits of wood to extract it, truck needed wood also to level it as we fished it out from a sloped driveway, at an angle on a sloped road lol.
Nice level drop of area and drove it very carefully off

Bastard thing was leaking and by time I got to the council yard Shite was all over the bed.
Said to workshop boss and got sent straight to the washbay where a Lovely Council Worker took it off and washed my bed down with industrial cleaner then 60 degree power hose

[jjayokocha]

Poor fella on a 45 and you taking snaps of him and robbing him

 

[SKINY]

Fishing in a tight spot this morning 1st thing Bangor top car park, anyone knows it knows how tight it is, took me longer wiggling round the white car in last picture than what it did getting the casually on the lift fslool
So handy this wee Truck for these kind of jobs, it still tops the scales at 5 ton tho

 

[SKINY]

Happy Friday the 13th
Don't drink and drug drive !

 

[SKINY]

Met an absolute Dickhead today while dropping of a van, came at shouting just after staring to unload are you gonna fucking move that !!
That would be a big Nah buddy, you can get another artic up there so again Nah, and I'll be 5 minutes max.
Well he was to important to wait so he gets back in and blasts the airhorn for a few minutes to tell everyone what a massive bellend and shit driver he was LOL during that time 3 artics drove past him and called Him everything for being a wanker.
He then rang my Boss, after following me into the office twice slabberin away LOL
Boss video called Me and I went out and showed him what the lack of a problem there was LOL
Boss went to school with the office Boss so he rang Him then and everyone in the office was fully behind me, That space where I drop is the actual dropping zone and that's fact.
Boss back on with Me then laughing about how shit a driver the Boy was and not to worry 1 bit, I handled it perfectly


This was after I'd reversed the van of the lift a few feet and moved the truck
The gap he couldn't get his wee head round I drove through then reversed back round Him just to make a final Cunt of Him but he did that himself,
Before I reversed back round him whatever he done the truck wouldn't start for a few minutes LOOOOL
All the staff in the office then came out for a good laugh at him and where all shouting fucking move it your blocked our yard entrance ya wanker and all sorts of insults
I even offered to manouevre His truck for him seeing how he couldn't drive but he declined LOOOOL
Today's word

Karma

 

[SKINY]

Edit
Where the Van is parked looks like it tight to a kerb but it's all road and it's a shadow making it look like that

 

[SKINY]

5:45 on way home and 2 Bike jobs come on, nobody else in the area fslool
Top was a RTC Boy got squashed between 2 cars, he's OK tho, walking wounded
Bottom 1 broke down while boy was over from Liverpool visiting mates, AA relay job so I picked it up and dropped it on the boat, AA will send another truck at the other end
And a brand new recovery truck on way to boat also needed my help as it broke down, nothing I could do tho as I was in our smallest truck, think it's something daft like 1750 KG so a big estate car and that's it nearly overloaded
Can drive it on a normal car license too

 

[SKINY]

Finally my own truck to call home
Drove it a few times before when training and on call, so spend a few hours in the morning getting all the tools, chains, straps etc sorted and cleaned and stored where I can put my hand on them easily.
8 ton unladen, can take ton 4 aka a meat wagon and something else behind on the spec lift
