I got onto the motorway at 3pm and was moving at 50Km/h.
Got back to the yard fine.

The call went out for the CBD to empty early and it turned into chaos. We had 3 trucks stuck in gridlock in town. And 2 trucks in motorway gridlock in petone.

I finished work at 4pm and the motorway was moving normally on the way home, saw 2 of the trucks, stop-start in the other direction lol.

It came on our Just in ... AbC about 3pm... I was at work, so I read it...

The story is exactly as you described it... with some companies sending peeps home, because the elevators were not working, the traffic chaos, all of what you guys mention..


So sorry for all you ... your nerves must be stressed..sad flower

Looks like you are the lucky one Perby.. wave
