Here is a quick story for today entitled LOOK AFTER YOUR LOAD.
This was at the time when hgv drivers were getting robbed and hijacked frequently.
I was workin nights for a well known catalogue company.The nights job entailed takin a trailer full of anything you can buy from a catologue to Birmingham.After arriving at the depot i began my break . I was told they'd let me know when it was tipped and reloaded to go back for bradford. Not knowing the whole story as i was a newby to the hole thing, i enjoyed my break and a read of the paper and , of course got the nod to go. About 30 mins up the motorway i noticed a grey car in my offside mirror and it seemed to be following me.After a mile or two it began flashing its headlights at me and pulled up alongside me! ( there was no cab phone in my truck) Before i new it the car had cut infront of me and was trying to slow me down, i was n't going to give my load up that easily and put my foot down,so the dar had to speed up. We played chase for a couple a miles and they weren't giving up, i slowed down and pulled up on the hard shoulder, keepin in agear ready to move , the car stopped about 5 or 6 metres in front.
Here it comes, a familiar lookin fellow got out of the car, i couldn't quite place him, he was waving something at me, ( lol no it wasn't a gun ) it was an envelope, it was the night supervisor from the depot i'd just been to. He said " i thought i was gonna chase you all the way to bradford, you forgot ya paperwork "!! inside i felt a little stupid but lookin at him thought it was hilarious and told him " you can't be too careful these days.
