It's Good To Be Back.

Today was my first day back driving a truck since the DVLA gave me the okay last week.

I was given a nice easy, short run to get me back into the swing of things. Alfreton to Huntingdon and back.

How I have missed getting up at 02:30! Over the last few weeks I have been setting my alarm to go off earlier and earlier each day to try and get my body used to it. Sort of worked.
Arrived at the yard and after getting the paperwork for my load I went and sorted my truck out. I'm back in my old truck, CDZ. Good news for me but the only reason I am back in it is that the driver who has had it since my heart attack is now off work seriously ill. I wish him all the best.

It felt very strange driving up the road but after a few minutes and only a couple of duff gear changes I was really enjoying myself. Sitting in loads of traffic on my way out of Huntingdon didn't bother me. The sun even broke through the mist as I headed back north along the A1. It was the best I've felt in ages.

The months haven't been kind to CDZ. Rust is starting to appear in loads of new places. She really does look her age. I might still get to take it over the million mark though.

I've got another easy run in the morning. Can't wait!
