A1096 layby

paul.dakers@ntlworld.com — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 17:00:00 +0100

Hi guys,

For those of you that read about the layby story in St. Ives, Cambs, where the swan died in the river, I'm the man running the campaign to get it all cleaned up and resurfaced. Further to the article shown, we now have another 125 signatures and it will be going to a meeting on 19th April infront of local councillors, some of whom I'll know.

When I know when and where the meeting is, I'll let you all know, as any public support would be welc [...]

5 years on and bankrupted to the tune of £70,000! So no you have no rights, but you can make it easier on your self, if mediation proves unsuccesful, then be assured family court will not solve anything. Having done all the court told me and paid £35,000 to my solicitor (Parasites) I was granted joint residency every weekend overnight alternate weekends a [...]

Crazy Mother Trucker .com

will@jonester.co.uk — Sat, 04 Apr 2009 17:00:00 +0100

Jonester.co.uk is no more,well it is but on the back of crazymothertrucker.com.This was a problem out of my hands as my hosting company just gave up the ghost so I had to change and as I could'nt get any help with jonester.co.uk and transfering it over I had to go for a new domain name.

I noticed a couple of posts regarding the refresh screen on Jonester - this was done because long long ago I had a webcam in my cab and needed to refresh the page to see the latest image.I just left [...]

Still waiting for a truck

robert.menhenitt@btinternet.com — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 17:00:00 +0100

Well I started at Keystone last week. I have been on local work this week because they have no line truck available for me. I shall be working on this next week as I would like to get a run in before Christmas and some more done in between then and the New Year.

I have been driving a pretty old truck, a Ford Aeromax, '96 vintage, and she is, to put it mildly, tired. But it has got the job done so I am not complaining really. It makes me smile when I go into the offices at Keystone. [...]

Postcard from Corfu.

timboross@googlemail.com — Fri, 03 Oct 2008 18:00:00 +0100

Day one. Are we there yet ?

The holiday started at 04:30 on Monday morning. It had been a restless night, probably caused by the desire not to sleep through. The routine had been mapped out the day before and for once everything went to plan, which meant that at 05:00 we were in the car heading for East Midlands Airport. By 06:30 I had dropped Dragon and Dragonette, and the luggage off, parked the car and returned to the Check-in Hall. [...]

So are we all still here?

robert.menhenitt@btinternet.com — Sat, 13 Sep 2008 18:00:00 +0100

I know that I am... still here, that is. I got home last night after a 2 week runaround, although I did sneak home for a night in between.

I went down to Lawrenceburg, TN, with a load of steel. For some reason, US Customs decided they couldn`t let me go to begin with, but they wouldn`t say why. Don`t you just hate that? I was meant to meet a man at 18:30 in Grand Forks, ND, to get a new cellphone (sounds shady but was all above board, I promise).

Anyway, [...]

A weird few weeks

robert.menhenitt@btinternet.com — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 18:00:00 +0100

OK, so I know I haven't added to the blog of late, and I may have appeared to be absent, but it has been a rather odd few weeks and I am feeling a little weird.

Firstly, I have been running my little buns off and trying to get level. I just did a remortgage so I could dispense with a bankloan and am giving serious thought to buying a truck again. I took some pretty interesting loads but have not had the camera to hand, largely because I have had BTD Junior with me for 8 [...]

The Dogs New Job

robert.menhenitt@btinternet.com — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 18:00:00 +0100

So The Dog will try this blog thing again. I thought I had already done some of this but I can't find it now.

Anyway. You all know that I recently changed company over here. I am now on with Screaming.... sorry, Flying Eagle out of Niverville, MB.

I finally had enough of the nonsense at BFS. Now you mustn't misunderstand me here, I have great respect for the founder of BFS, and I made some excellent friends there. I saw so many amazing places and [...]

A Working Life, 7 - Shafted for the last time ......

timboross@googlemail.com — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 18:00:00 +0100

......... at Shitehole Distribution.

I have to admit that I thoroughly enjoyed the job at Shepherds. It was just a shame that the transport manager was a dickhead and the MD was a complete twat.

The way the job worked there was that the motors were loaded overnight by 'Muscles' and his crew. By and large they did a pretty good job under difficult circumstances. The loads were made up of anything and everything destined for a particular area, and sometime [...]

A Working Life, 6 - Shitehole Distribution!

timboross@googlemail.com — Mon, 19 May 2008 18:00:00 +0100

Shepherd Distribution.

And so in the summer of 2000 my driving career began in earnest. I suppose it would be fair to say that I was a late starter being as I was 40 years old by this time. You see it really is never too late to start something.

My first motor with Shepherds was an old Iveco 7.5 tonner that was dog rough inside, when I did night out I ha [...]
