LOCAL DELIVERIES

to the left or right?

When it comes to a long journey trips , I love it most.

Lately while I'm doing my driving jobs, mostly all of it  takes not more than a few hour.

We call it local trips. Just hovering some 50 to 100 kilometer radius. All could be done on the same day.

Usually deliveries will take a bit lousy while waiting by the Port for those R.T.G. (Rubber Gantry Cranes) to come over and release the containers.

Then another waiting game at the Port Exit just to clear through The Custom Officers.

Sometimes we have to go for an X-ray Drive Through when something suspicious is at the risk.

When all are cleared, off we go to the next destination.

Reporting the Container's Number to The Dispatcher   is a must, just to be sure we are delivering the right container to right customer.

Only by those 4 alphabets and follows by the 7 digits, did we knows where to send the containers.

Some of it are quite heavy and a bit tricky to handle. Most of the customers will squeeze as much as they could into the cube, just to make sure it worth every dime for paying the fares and taxes.

When we arrive, we'll just uncouple the trailer and leave it there for the customer to unload the cargo.

In a few days, somebody will come to pick the trailer with the empty container to send it back to the Container Yard.

My three hours trip has been done.

Now it's time to grab something to chew.

Safe Driving, safe life....
