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, etc. I've driven in most European countries from the Greek Islands to Norway and all points in between. Same for coaches, I've done most types from school buses to expensive European tours with The Glider. I also have extensive experience of driving left hand drive trucks and coaches.

So if any of this means I could be of use to your company please get in touch. As for my online presence I can use this to promote your businesses Web pages or I can not mention you at all, entirely up to the you when employ my services. If you want high quality pictures of your fleet I offer this service too, often while I'm driving for you, it makes pictures look more realistic and less staged. Feel free to browse this site for examples of my photography, all photographs were taken by me. If your company has little online presence I'm also available to set this up and run it for you. A strong online following can be a real boost for a business. I managed to get this blog from nowhere to number one in search rankings on Google for the phrase 'lorry driver', no mean feat!

As for the rest of you me being back on the road means I'm going to ramp up this blog and YouTube channel again. More videos, more on HD, more content, including guest writers (get in touch if you want to write a piece for this blog), and more engagement from me. Its an exciting future ahead and I'm taking you lot with me! ONWARD!




My first day back was for Bull Transport in this fine machine.

#ThrowbackThursday; Where It All Began….

 #ThrowbackThursday - So if you’ve followed me for long you will already know I’ve had a rather ridiculous career working for every man and his dog, driving everything from vans to rigids to artics to drawbars to buses and coaches. I’m really proud of my bonkers career, it’s been absolutely amazing! But, my driving career didn’t start on the road, it started on a landfill, in a Moxy! For pretty my whole childhood Dad was a mechanic who drove on the side. I used to spend lots of time with him, going away in lorries or spending the weekend with him in the workshop. One job he had was for a local plant hire company and this was one of the best as back in those days when no one really cared much about H&S, I got to drive and play with machines in the yard. It got to point where I could lift engines and axles etc with pinpoint precision with the mini digger, helping Pops. Can’t dig a hole to save my life tho! One day one of the bosses saw me gently lifting the engine back into a Moxy (t

The Flexibility of In-House Training, Without The Cost

I offer you all the advantages of having an in house trainer without the cost or commitment. I will quote for your business based on how many drivers will need training over the course of a year, then you or your drivers can simply contact me when they wish to attend one of my online timetabled courses, taking away all the stress of trying to arrange up to 20 drivers to sit a course on the same day, much more flexible for your business and I take all the stress out of it. Let’s face it running a transport company is stress enough! I run daytime, evening and weekend courses, times to suit everyone. I also find this method is much more popular with the drivers. I am however also happy to quote for your online or in person courses, up to 20 at a time at times and dates to suit you at any location. Everyone who attends my courses and your office staff will be given my contact details and told I’m available at any time to help and advise as required. I’m always here to help customers, basic
