Me too

I was lucky with my driving career, I caught the end of the old era My first lorry was a TK Bedford in 1966, based in north London, my first artic was a 1958 AEC Mercury working for BRS Gloucester I did 20 years of night trunk in various vehicles Daf 85's Leyland Marathons, F10 Volvos etc I wouldn't want to be on the road now, with GPS trackers, and the boss knowing when you stop for a cuppa I loved every minute of my 47 years on the road, even roping and sheeting in the winter.

I love the old trucks, brings back lots of memories in my working life as a h.g.v driver..

Would've loved to see the lorries of yesteryear at the time.

Wow some memories there, the 480 Turbostar could Bob on a bit. Liverpool - Felixstowe and back off the clock.

Aye when I were a lad every fire engine was a dennis, iveco looked super hard 🇬🇧

Great to see a ARC and a Pioneer concrete agitator. They used to operate from Stanway Colchester. In the time we earned real money😊

3 years ago,foreigners worked for 4.5pound/hour,motel based ,no Nino and 15 hour shift .Big bosses have laughing stock in offices.I looked online and jobs offered are almost the same as 4 years ago. In Denmark from 2020 new hourly rate of DKK 164.96 (19.19 pound) an hour was announced. The rate was applicable as of January 1st.There houses are more cheap than in U.K just to make an ideea. Rules also mean that foreign drivers working in Denmark must be paid the same while they are in the country. This will be strictly enforced from 2020
