2 Jobs all day.


Well, Yesterday didn`t go as planned. 

First job was to a broken down lorry pulling a milk tank on the A483 at Pant. One of the rear wheels had become loose and worn the hub of the wheel from nice round holes into curved oblongs (imagine a sad mouth and you`ll get an image)

After 4 1/2 hours of directing traffic, the tank was finally on the recovery lorry and the driver and cab were on there way.

Job well done !!

Oh no …!!

With in minutes of getting back to the office, another job comes in for the A483 at Mile End where a lorry has turned over.

So, we get there to find the same milk tank now laying on it`s side and leaking the best part of 24000 litres of milk onto the road.

Road closed and recovery in operation for the same lorry !!

3 hours directing traffic, AGAIN !!

7 ½ hours over the same lorry.

To be honest I don`t thnk the bucket was much use !!!!!
