Happy Fridayeve

Hope life finds everyone well. Just been having a picture sort out on my laptop so I thought I'd post a couple of interesting ones from past couple of years.

You often see Iranian trucks in Italy. In fact by Milan or Turin I can't remember there is a service area which is often full of them. From old Americans like this one to Chinese trucks based on the old Volvo FL10 cab -




These trucks belong to a chain of restaurants in France called Buffalo Grill. Every one is different, not every ones cup of tea but a bit of a change to the norm -


And this turned up in the yard while I was there in May 2010, a brand new demonstrator. I was first to take it for a spin and loved it. Little did I know at the time 5 months later I'd have one of my very own.


So there you go, just a little update. Will hopefully post another short Movember update on Tuesday at the end of week 2. Also I can't wait to get out with my new tripod and start taking some night shots. Watch this space.

Today

Well I feel a bit better today having had a good sleep. I slept in a Gigantibus, or more commonly known as a Magnum, and when I opened the blinds I was greeted with an inch of snow and it's still snowing. So I've got to drive a truck I've never driven before, in snow, on untreated roads, oh and did I mention the truck is only a few months old! Today will be very much slow and steady with a good dose of nail biting!

#DriverShortage; New Video Midday Sunday

Good evening all. I hope your weekend is going to plan. Just to say there will be a new #DriverShortage video midday tomorrow talking about the proposed driving test changes and a life and DVLA update (nothing overly exciting alas). For now here’s some recent pictures of evil juggernauts thundering through town piloted by lunatics. #Shocking. Have a good evening chums www.buymeacoffee.com/lukevernon   https://linktr.ee/lorrydriverdotcom     Buy me a coffee

FREELANCE LUKE!

Hello everyone. So as many of you will know I was unfairly given the boot from my transport manager job at Virginia. The truth is I was thinking of leaving anyhow as the stress was insane. I got back on the the road on Saturday and it felt like coming home, hitting the M5 in a Volvo FH 500, radio on, stress free work, it was bliss and made me realise it all turned out for the best. Anyway, back to now. Im now a freelance driver. I want to work on my terms when I want to work. I've been a driver for 18 years and have a full clean C+E and D+E licences so I can drive coaches and trucks. I'd love a bit of coach work in the summer to keep my hand in. All up date with CPC and have a packages ADR licence. Im interested in a variety of work. Mostly local but I do want to do trips to Europe on occasion. I spent 3 years piloting a FH16 750 so I can be trusted with any truck! I have experience with many types of work. Fridges (hanging and boxed), flats, curtainsiders, euroliners, tankers,...
