One Of My Favourite Pictures


One of my very favourite pictures today. Seems the pictures from my past are more interesting than the ones trundling through town, which is fair enough. I’ll post a mix from now on. When the Italy series of videos are over in addition to the Top Tips videos for new drivers I’m going to run through my past, a video autobiography If you will! I promise it won’t be as earth shatteringly dull as it sounds 😂


This picture I stood out on open deck for 2 and a half hours (was one of first on) in freezing cold wind to get this picture! I was hoping for any truck but it seems the Lorry Gods were smiling on me that evening & on popped one from the big V. Birkenhead, 12 years ago, way before the videos and social media began and not long at V-Bobs at this point. Was it still Merchant Ferries them or had DFDS taken over via NorfolkLine?


#ONWARD to the weekend. Have a great day all.

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 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...

A SHORT DAF XF REVIEW

DAF Review So, one of most common questions I'm asked lately is what I think of the DAF. Obviously for a long time time I've mostly driven Volvos and Scanias and before this job it was well over a decade since I last tramped full time in a DAF (for HSF). As you know though I had driven later models and hated the body XF with a passion!  When the current version came out DAF seemed very confidant it would change my mind about them in our Twitter exchanges but I thought how different can it be? The answer? A lot. In some ways its like a completely different truck despite being almost identical in looks. Firstly- the gearbox. The auto on previous DAFs was a fupping disaster and everyone knew it! Show, jerky and just generally rubbish in a way no auto should be this late in the day. That's completely changed, for the vast majority of the time it's indistinguishable from an iShift (that having long been the good standard). Yes it has its odd moments but they are very rare an...
