Containertransport from northern Europe

[Arvidsson-Källqvist]

Just some random showoff:

After loading in Göteborg, on the Älvsborgsbron:



On the Öresund Bridge crossing over to Denmark:



After an unload in Koblenz went over empty to Frankfurt Fraport to pick up a load there, just to find out when arrived that the job is no longer available, so it was all for nothing, but since it's already late Friday, I'll just head over to a spot some km's from here to end the week as it is:



Next week, on the H-RO border at Nadlac, on my way to Bucharest:



Heading home from Bucharest on the Olt's Valley:



A week later. Nothing interesting this time, just went over to Gilau to detach my current trailer, visit the workshop for maintenance, then back to Cluj to take the rest of the week off:



The plan has changed. Won't take the week off as I decided to take my FH1 out for a short 3 day spin just inside the country:





On the Pitesti - Bucharest section of the A1:



Unloaded at the Otopeni airport in Bucharest, then I'll head over to IKEA to load some Furniture back to Cluj:



Back on the A1:



Man I love this oldie, even if it's much more demanding to drive:



Rest time:

Got a reefer trailer from DSV together with my first reefer job since the MTS days.

Loaded 15 tonnes of grapes from Cluj to Birmingham, UK. Stopped early for a rest at Lichtenbuch, D-B border, so the next day I can reach Calais from a 4 and half hour drive without stopping in the "red zone":



Arrived to Calais around midnight without problems. Checked in, passed border controls, took the train, then 3 hours later I'm arriving to the Dartford Crossing on the M25:



Very early morning still so pretty light traffic on the M25:



On the M1 nearby Northampton:



Arriving in Birmingham in the morning:



After unloading I took a quick 9h break then in the evening I got an express job from Sheffield down to Metz, France with mail or some sort. Loaded at night from a huge logistics warehouse then, I'm off to Folkestone. "Midnight expressing" down the M1:



Had to stop at a service station around Northamton to put in a bit of fuel, very expensive here, but it's necessary. This is the worst part of driving a 6*2, small tanks:



On the Dartford crossing:



Had to take a rest at Folkestone, then the next evening crossed back to France with the train, and drove all night long until reaching Metz very early in the morning:



However hard I tried I couldn't arrive earlier, so since it was saturday, I was told they will only unload me Monday, so all this express delivery thing was for nothing. I'll have to spend the weekend here, but at least I got a great spot to spend it at:



Monday, I unloaded in Metz, then went over to Reims to load dairy products for Targu Mures, RO:



Next day, I stopped at Autohof Aurach on the A6 for a proper refuel, and a good lunch:



Got truckspotted in the afternoon on the A3 somewhere around Regensburg:



A day later, arriving to the romanian border at Bors:



Next morning heading home empty after unloading in Tg. Mures:

Yeah, I remember my first reefer. Those were the days.
Great realism and shots as always!

Thanks!

First job of the week is to Zwolle. Early morning on the dutch N36, getting close to the destination:



After that, next destination is Padborg, DK. On the A7 in Holland, close to the german border:



Next morning on the D/DK border at Ellund/Padborg:



In the Padborg Transportcenter:



From Padborg I had a run down to the airport at Frankfurt, then from there loaded back to Denmark, this time to Aarhus:



But since it was already Saturday morning, I had to stop for the weekend pause at Autohof Soltauer Heide:





Monday morning back on the road, arriving to Hamburg:





On the Sönderjyske Motorvej in DK, around Aabenraa:



At Aarhus:



Unloaded in Aarhus then got a job to Germany to Bad Oeynhausen. Crossing the Vejlefjordbroen:
