Hi buddy,Hello from another HGV driver.
Yep totally agree. Enjoy the freedom and all that, don't enjoy the lunatics wanting to constantly crash into you! I drive for Eurocell.
They are all much of a muchness if that makes sense. They all want you to deliver more than you can carry and to do more hours than we are allowed which is why I only do what hours / days I want now.
Hope your not over the 90 hours in a fortnight, GrumpyAbsolutely right on all counts! 66 1/2 hours last week. (I'll be getting a rollocking now from certain members on here for that! Lorry fit to bust most days, that's the way it is tho mate. Stay safe driver!
Thanks... Yes you could say I lost a lot of money on cars, but I enjoyed having them... I got £37,000 when I part exed the 1M.... Now the guy has traded it in at the dealer I bought it from and now it's up for £48,000...... Should have kept it.... But yes loving the Z3...
Another lorry driver??? Nope my weekly average is 40.48 at the minute. I'm very good with the POA!Hope your not over the 90 hours in a fortnight, Grumpy
Nope, International freight forwarder for 38 years
You cheeky monkey Roy boy.Missed this forum untill today and thought I'd put a pic of me in my Z, but I can't believe I haven't got one with me in the driving seat so instead I've put pic of me out for Sunday drive and stopping at a pub for some lunch.
Me in red, the others are, behind me, farther of other two (all travellers) who I met as I parked up outside, They were having trouble with their Transit, had no tools so I helped them fix it, was invited to their table for a pint by the oldest son opposite me ( the other one wasn't very talkative) who produced a camera and asked an old guy to take a picture, they wanted me in it to show their family that they do actually have normal friends outside of their usual social gatherings around the fire.

Reminds me of the day I had the pleasure of your company at a dinner table not quite a year ago. Perhaps again soon.

Hope so Frankie, shame your not closer, but even the good old USofA can't keep you away so I'm betting we'll see you again, looking forward to it. Here's hoping you don't bump into that traveler family like I did, when I got back to my car my camera had gone missing.
