The little red book Billy,remember it well
.
I never had a sleeper cab when I was on general and tanker work and had to rely on digs.Some were ok,a lot were s***oles and I would resort to "cabbing it" rather than stay in some of them.Some curtains round and a board across the seats and a sleeping bag,full of fish and chips and some beer and I was away.Wake up frozzen to death and aching all over but at least not bitten by bedbugs
.
I was on nights and running from Teesside to Grangemouth for a fortnight.I found some digs in Falkirk that would accomodate night drivers.After breakfast I went up to the room and the bed was unmade and still warm from the previous occupant.The landlady said she'd had no complaints before so I said she could shove her B and B and walked out with her shouting for the money for breakfast.
Aye,that Albion gear lever Billy,I can feel it in me back now.
More to follow.
