My last Tour In Germany part 1

Hi
Here are a few pics of my last trip I'll post it in days as they came.

Monday
picked up a loaded trailer in the yard loaded with 5 liter tin kegs of beer, delivery Aldi near the Danish border.


Typical Germany on a Monday morning. A7 A27 and A1 junction


matey here was going to the same drop and decided to cut over the by roads. (he got there 30 mins after me)SmiliesFTW.com



Aldi !!!!SmiliesFTW.com


Tipped at that dump only took 4 hours! Then got a text from this SmiliesFTW.com

(Patrick our dispatcher)to load 30 euro pal Cranberries in Hamburg for the Lidl distri center in Andolsheim.Loaded up empty pallets and zipped back down the A7 to Hamburg and suprise suprise the load was ready................
Got loaded pretty quick and still had about 6 hours driving time left, so got on the blower to Hedgehog and arranged to meet him at the new truck stop in Karlsruhe.
Patrick then remembers I've still got a bit of room left on the trailer!! 'come to the yard and load 3 pallets to fill the trailer'shit!!got back on the blower and gave Hedgehog the news.
Arrived in Bremen loaded the 3 pallets, had a coffee and chin wag with patrick,turned the key and slipped on to the A1 towards France.Now as some of you may or may not know the A1 from from Bremen to Munster has a no overtaking for trucks restriction from 6am til 20pm daily, as I entered the slip road this Norwegen bod passed me doing about 160 kmh, bloody hell,40 kms later the nobs had him and were taking him apart.
