Huddersfield Event Causes Me a Headache!

Classic example of just how easy it is for some careless drivers to spoil your day. Lack of public parking (or some cheapskates who don’t want to pay) means the industrial estate became just about gridlocked, making getting out of the are much harder than it should have been.

It’s just horrendous is it just horrendous these new systems if you send a message through it they’ll it’ll go on all three computers in the office this is just Crap Well good morning just pulling out of our space in the lead yard that we’re in so just one of our wagons were just moving down there seeing what they were doing we’re in a bit of a unusual place for us we were right on the end so we’re having to turn in towards

The yard um we’re going to have to back up to um be able to get around because like I said we’re right on the end there were there weren’t that much room in here last night to be fair we um we did just get in on the last

Spot we did just get in the last spot so luckily we do have quite a bit of room here to play with I will go try get next to this aaf XG on the right cuz there’s a space between that and the trailer next to it but we um we

Just couldn’t fit in it so we um got next to this red link way trailer here with a concrete block under it so we’re literally just here so just had to turn around we just come up to 54 453 at the minute is the current

Time my H assist on and that off there we go so we have run our away to file it we the um yesterday we got the box on in record time over at over at Freight linering leads and we’re make making our way over to FY for 7:00 this

Morning luckily it’s a nice light box that we’ve gotten at the minute and luckily I checked the route as well cuz I sat and I’ve picked up a different route to what I sort of had in my head last night so I thought I’ll go into Google Maps and quick look at street

View on it uh 16% for 3/4 of a mile twisty turny bends it were going to try and te me up so we um we’re going round we’re going the way that I um had in the back of my mind to go yesterday oh we’re going not

Stopping right on the lights not like that there’s a wagon behind us as well don’t like doing it but what can you do so yeah we run away we should be um hopefully on time it’s got us is at half 6 in the minute hopefully we get a

Nice quiet run over along the a64 well we’re coming to the job somewhere it’s um in a very dark run over I’m sure my headlights aren’t lighting up as much as they usually do I’m sure they’re dimmer than usual or lower but we’re getting here 1.7 mile away certainly certainly out here the

Wind’s blowing as well you can see if you can see the rain blowing across that could be a car coming up I can see them they got their four beams they got their LEDs on yeah so yeah we not had a bad run certainly had worse um not the best

Roads out here though they’re a bit bumpy we can see at least um yeah it’s not the best we want the best Link Road luckily it were quiet and obviously pitch black so if cars were coming other way I could see them cuz there were a few blind bends

Where I to take other side of the road but in daylight I imagine it being nightmare along there so we might look at going back towards brington and out that way back but we’ll see I’ll have a word with office and see what Ood of getting another job

Is and we’ll go from there SO3 a mile from turn in is where we want to turn to get down here car’s coming down as well that’s behind us so I think we’re straight to the end deep SE Electronics is what we’re looking for might stop short and let this car go

Past feeling this car could be for him as well while May bit Jesus a ptle ow um I’m sure it’s at the end of the road nice sat now says I’ve arrived but it’s not this one I don’t it’s got a sign on it sat now she trying to tell me to turn

Back now I’m sure it’s here on right on left sorry if I get over few few cars in the car park at least deep sea Electronics we’ll turn in the gates open there’s cars in the car park so we’re turning in Goods in dispatch around the corner that’ll do for

Us so I don’t know what what they’ll sort of do for deep C Electronics it’s not a speed bump that it’s just a painted one they’ve painted it to look like one so let’s have a look around the bike it’s a dispatch we’re around here somewhere let be further

Around yeah it looks like the yard opens up a little bit is it going to be that little hook there not sure where we’re going here to be honest it’s a no entry sign there is that dispatch written in front I no idea no idea so we’ll just stop here at

Least we can get out somewhere Goods out it says there Goods in it says on the floor there in front of us so I’ll get off and I’ll go ring Bell on door if there’s a bell there I think there is and we’ll go get tipped well we’re tipped record time we

Tipped 25 minutes they’ve been at it and we’re turning off of this gravel back onto the road and making our way towards Freight lering leads they’re not sure what they’ve got for us yet did phone up this morning I said about 10:00 roughly we’ll be there

Cuz we’ll need a break on the way cuz we’ve not had hav been here long enough to try and get one in here so I managed to grab 15 minutes break so we only need half an hour on the way so that is all good put everything

Back to I have it so yeah that’s all good so we can we’re going to go out a different way we’re going to go out on the 615 to Bridlington follow the 164 further on towards um I can’t remember is it what the I think the 166

I’m going to go up just Jo it just joins back up to the um one the a64 and that a lot further up so a lot closer to York so it could be a bit quieter out that way lot better roads as well cuz I don’t

Want to go back along that tight road again I got lucky on the way in I don’t want to chance it again so we’re a good chunk into the journey now we’re 43 mile away from fre so I’m I’m about to pull over anyway I

Need a need a l so I managed to look at where we’re going after this we’re going to um Hansen Logistics at Huddersfield we got a delivery there though um I have it’s what I did I did it a few weeks I did just before I went

On holiday actually the week before week I went on holiday um it’s the day that we’re really really really short day we um the wind really affected us we managed to get loaded but we couldn’t get the box off so we’re parked in glues for um about half 11 something like that maybe

11:00 so that’s what we’ve got today we um hopefully we won’t have a short day as that but we started at half 4 this morning so we we’re okay the job is due at half 10 so we are going to be late unfortunately but there’s not we can do

About that it’s yeah we’ll need a break we’ve got hour and 53 driving left we’re just over an hour away from freight liner at the minute then we probably need 45 minutes to an hour to get there so it’s we’ll need a break so we’re

Going to have to have one on the way I think I’ll just could get as far as skeleton Lake get a break in there then that should do us for the rest of the day I’d imagine I can’t see us doing it over a great lot to be fair but you know

Stranger things have happened so we’ll certainly see but so now we’re just on a nice bumpy 166 making our way making our way to York and the a64 to head to leads our FR leads is back to its usual South been 21 minutes waiting here so

Far we’re not moved yet to get the empty box off and when we came in there were a right queue for heavy lifted down bottom where we need to go I to get the Box on So currently 10:38 at the minute it’s not looking great it’s bit rubbish really

But what can we do it’s each huge work case here in it we just got really lucky yesterday so we just have to wait sit and wait now I’ve let office know it’s looking 12:00 onwards that will be at this job it’s probably going to be later than than 12

To be fair but you know what can we do it’s one of those it’s nothing we can do we just got to get on with it now aren’t we so oh well well an hour and 45 minutes later and that is is just getting out off ra

Liner so it’s 20 to 12 at the moment so let say we about 8 8 minutes past 11 that we went in to um to go get the box off and on so I to say it’s it’s been a good hour in 40 minutes is so it’s took a good

While it has took a good while so but we’ve got it on alt stickers are on the box waiting for this lad to get in and actually shut his door and we’re good to go so I say they’re not busy in there they’re just slow I whether they’re just having

Trouble with trains or what but I don’t know why there’s so many queuing down here well they’ll be waiting for the VBS to start in about 4 minutes time isn’t there that black bird going to move just but we’re getting there so on our way to Hansen’s now it’s usually an all

Right tip there to be fair they’re not usually that bad um o well someone’s going to have to back up this is just ridiculous they’re all queuing on that bend causing problems there’s nowhere for him to go there’s no there’s no one queuing there ain’t anyone queuing at all well we’ll get

There it’s just horrendous a it just horrendous luckily this lad’s okay and he don’t mind backing up you can at least see I bet he at freight liner up here if we ttic curb this ladge can hopefully get past and then we can get on our way up

To Hansen so I’ll let the office know we’re at and what time we’re going to be there and see if I can get a feel of what’s Happening after this well that is just tipped over at Huddersfield here we’re making our way out we’re not sure what we’re doing yet the office

Haven’t sent anything through to be honest I think there might be a little bit stressed with this new system cuz we’ve not really had anything off them all day um so I’ve just sent him a message on it so these new systems if you send a

Message through it they it’ll go on all three computers in the office just get this um it’ll go on there so they can um all three of them can see it so they should know I’m leaving and get get some it sorted so and my cameras AR panning around

Beautiful 51 one seven there we go yeah you get your own unique code in here to get out so we um that c put departed on that we go to nor containers yeah the still sent nothing through so we just get on don’t we we

Get on and see what’s what where are all these people come from here there we go to just sent some through now that’s off that notification was all right way to get out of here yeah I don’t know where all these cars have come from they weren’t here

Earlier when we came I need to turn right down here I might not be able to get out of here I can’t get out of here you can’t go straight down I don’t think it’s a dead end I want to go down there it’s that one

Ohu um don’t know how we’re getting out of here we’re going have to go wrong way so just parking everywhere oh we can get out down here I can see no entry sign but I think it’s a car dealership down here I don’t know where they’re all

Going and we got a car coming up sh just crazy don’t know where they wanted me to go this is just crazy never SE didn’t think there be that many cars down here I can hardly get out here yeah where are they all going I don’t think I can even get

Out where they all come from these cars there’s event down Road oh this is just crazy yeah which side watch that side for uh yeah cuz I’m going to have to get close to that I think it’s think it’s security guard from other place says there sum event of Summer on

This is just crap trying to get to on curb a bit all right see if that gives us any more room should do y thank you yeah that was fun getting out yeah there’s a black carow on the bend you can hardly get around it there’s some event going on

Somewhere well this is unbelievable I’m going sugar so yeah I don’t know what we’ve got the sent somewh through but we haven’t seen it yet obviously um so what I’m going to do is I’ll get off and see if I can see what they’ve sent through and try and get out

Of here and we’ll get started just been stopped at the lights there managed to get a quick look at what we’ve got for tomorrow so we’re boxing off and on at Northern containers where we’re heading now we’ve got a 9:00 Hull in the morning to see4

So tomorrow must be Friday must back to normal so we’ll just get the Box on and head over to glues and park up in there tonight at ghoul we most at way over there then start like 7 or something in the morning I think so some like Donaldson’s filter Warehouse we’ve got

Tomorrow doesn’t ring any bells really um not sure what size box is I need to have a look at that and um and go from there so yeah if it were real struggle then getting out on it it just other fields just busy I don’t know what

Events on it atast 1 well probably 2:00 won’t it in an afternoon there but it somewhat big on it were um very very busy but no more we made it through I feel F curtain side of that will getting ready to move off there were curtain

Side of in at Hanson that will load him he um he won’t get out if I struggle getting out he won’t get out of there they’ll have front end swing and um why am I struggling for grip yeah it have front end swing and rear end swing plus because it’s a

Longer trailer so he really will struggle to get out there for him now that would just crazy parking with that no no no no no regard to what what we there so well we made it that’s all that matters so we’ll get to KN on get the

Boxes swapped and get on the way to goul as you can see we made it to a nice clean noen containers just got the box off I’ve just sorted the trailer out to get the Box on we’re just waiting for him to um turn up and bring us a box so

We’re getting a 40 High Cub on so full size box other than a half siiz box like we’ve just got rid of we’re um yeah we just sat waiting it’s just come up to past halfast 2 so we’re into overtime we’ll literally get this on and

We can just fly straight over to um glues and get parted up we don’t need another break until just have half four so we’re okay on that front so we should be able should be able to get to glues get pack up and just call it a day at that so a bit

Short a day today but it’s Friday tomorrow so it’s um it’s all good there we go off the slit Road for glues there might be a bit of traffic getting into it just I run parallel with it coming in so I see the road the police are down the other side of the

Roundabout it looks like there’s been a looks like there’s been a smash um couldn’t quite see what happened there just a van across the road and one across other way so I don’t know if a Van’s pulled out of a wouse or something like that in front of somebody

But we’re not 100% sure we might just be able to get we’ll get straight in they’re not queing that far back the police are doing the traffic on it so police are holding the traffic on it I we going to walk that way as well but

I’ll walk other way now stay out of way I don’t want to be in way do I so we’re going to get straight out of this roundabout yeah it looks like a Van’s just pulled out or something like that by the looks of it oh dear hope everyone’s

Okay we’re just coming up to halfast 3 at the minute so slow down let this let this wagon out so we got an hour out today we’ll get hour and a quarter out of it by time we in a space and booked off so that will do for

Us don’t know where to park though do I park in the middle or do I park on the back row might Park on back I’ll park on back row I don’t have to worry about trying to leave enough room behind for someone to get in then I can just back right up

To the Stoppers and we’re done camera is still out panning around though there we go it’s automatic barrier here as well probably get next to the British gyps and wagon that’s in there although we’ll probably be going at some point soon I’d imagine but oh

Well cuz i’ I’d park on the right but it does slant quite a bit so I don’t want to mess about with that so yeah I’ll get here next to British gypson I know there is a wagon parted up here but his curtains are drawn already so he’s either well I don’t even

Know if fridge is running but he’s either parked up and um been parked up all day and going early or is um there for the night but there’ll be a wagon in between us anyway so proba that’s fine by me they can block they can block

Sound at fridge buring away if it is there we go we’ll just get straight back now straighten up a little bit they are really wide spaces in here actually really really wide it’s surprising how wide they are we can get straight back now straight back touch the stoppers and

We’re done oh I’ve got on a bit of a won these cameras aren’t the best for um seeing to be fair straighten it up a tiny little bit we got should turn reversing be off if that lad is sleeping soon it there we

Go that is Us in so we’ll I’ll get a til back like I like to do there we go and then engine off so all is good is that one on yeah it is so yeah I probably I might look at starting about half 6 in morning I’ve

Looked where job is it’s like the top side of Hull so we could get bad traffic getting in there so we um we’ll start at half 6 and you know get on early and get there so I’m going to get off and end this video and go book in and um get out

On the W while it’s still daylight so I will get off now and I will see you all in the next one
