A bit of a special anniversary

Hello, how is everyone. Sorry for my slience but my very enjoyable holiday is nearly over. Today at about the time I'm writing this in the early hours of Saturday morning 5 years ago in 2007 I was at Holyhead in my car waiting for a ferry. A ferry to a new job. I left HSF on the Friday evening and drove overnight to Virginia in Ireland to start my new job that I hoped would be good. I never realised at the time the brilliant move I'd made. I'd had lots of jobs up to that point and had been at HSF only a year but it was my longest job. So off I trundle with some trepidation at this new venture, my previous job in Ireland being Nolans. I get there and am introduced to 06CN831 an R500 Topline just over a year old. I was made up at this. And after just a week of UK work I was sent to Portugal, and the rest as they say is history. 5 years is half of my truck driving career. When I started here at 29 it was something like my 19th job! I think that says it all. I'm so lucky in that I had this very specific dream as a child of what my perfect job would be like. That's why I changed jobs so many times, I was looking for it and wouldn't rest till I found it. I sometimes thought I never would but then I got this job. I had such amazing experiences and been to such amazing places backed up by what I think is a great company. My dream job. So finally then I hope you enjoy the little bit of my job I share with you all. I decided to make the videos and website as an antidote to all the Miserable moaning groaning that goes on in this industry. I wanted to be a positive voice amongst the deafening sound of negativity. I've been driving for 15 years professionally this year and throughout my career I've had drivers tell me in 1/5/10/15 years you'll grow to hate it. Well guess what chaps, I love it more than ever and getting into my beautiful lorry gives me just as much a buzz now as my first day on the road. This job is what you make it, so make it good. ONWARD to another 5 years.
