The locking system means nothing, if they want your diesel they’ll take it. Even if that means punching a hole in the bottom of the tank.

Thanks for blogging very helpful have you any advice on agencies in the south west

You mentioned the word "shower". Please explain where do you shower, toilet breaks, etc etc. Are there special facilities for truck drivers? Thank you.

Top of the list for tramping; wear sliders or flip flops when using the showers at motorway services, every disease known to mankind is lurking in those places!

I’m here to help mate !!! And yes they can drain your battery but only if you leave it plugged into an “INVERTER” overnight for hrs with multiple items, it’s coming from the trucks batteries that can take a good hit but ideally you don’t wanna have 4/5 high powered devices for long periods of time. A laptop is not high powered your be fine!!

Always an interesting comparison when office workers staying away will have a costs budget from accounts of around £200.00+ to cover hotel, meals and away woak compensation benefits. Yet, HGV do it for same as 25 years ago with disease ridden 'facilities' often uncleaned and then sleep in a tin box! Says more about what types do HGV work at rates of pay far below what all others get? Little wonder so many HGV drivers have lost families and homes while chasing ultra-low pay and staying away when all partners and kiddies need is, time with them at home! But hey, maybe drivers who do away work and repeatedly lose relationships are just they selfish types who won't man up to caring for family at home?
