    shunted from pillar to post.

    Had fun the other week when I broke down. Under new tacho regs apparantly if a recovery wagon stays within a 60 mile radius of his home base he can run without a tachograph and therefore not be restricted on his hours. So now contractors just take you to a border and put you on another wagon. consequently I ended up on 4 wagons B4 i got home. Some 9 and a half hours after I  broke down. Gonna be fun when you have disjointed handovers at each border at peak busy times and you keep on having to queue for a wagon every time you change over.
