Bertie Has A Job!


After my request for work someone offered Bertie a job because he was a fellow yellow. He’s on his way to London with a load of milk powder. So it seems he’s now the main breadwinner. Tho I doubt I’ll be seeing any of this bread

So many trucks passing through my busy little town lately. Is generally a fair few being one of only 2 main rights north over this side of the country. 

NOTE:- if I take yours or your companies Picture and you want an unmarked copy pop me an email and I’ll send across lorrydriverluke@live.com

Hello to the chap in the handsome DAF, I rushed off as I wanted to get a better picture rather than out of rudeness! I leave bad manners to Sir Bertie.


Also started a debate on Trucknet after it turns out two drivers from a certain company that shall remain nameless told their office to contact a hobby photographer to tell him to stop taking their pics! How ridiculous is that! You can of course tell me not to take your picture as you pass through town all you like but I still will and I’ll relentlessly take the piss out of you online for being mind blowingly pretentious! 😂

Thankfully this nonsense seems to be rare. As others have pointed out it’s the working truck pictures that people want to look at most in years to come. There’s only so many ways you can photograph a flagship truck at a truck show! It’s also why you’ll see me post everything, from bin lorries to flagships. Much easier now of course with digital so got to give respect & thanks to the photographers who photographed working trucks over the past century, it took a lot of effort and money with film.

Last nights video where I update you and put a call out for work.


And finally thank you from the bottom of my heart for the continuing donations. I’ll never be able to thank you enough, so instead I’ll just bombard you with videos of me droning on and on and on and on and on and on and etc etc

#MyTopThree; Vehicles. Number 1

I was young once! (To be fair I was at least 35 here!) So……my all time favourite truck was never really in doubt was it?! My FH16 750 I drove for Virginia is the single best vehicle I’ve ever driven but as a whole the Volvo FH is in my opinion one of the best vehicles ever made, and the final version with this cab, the V3, the ultimate version. The only sensible downside anyone can ever come up with is inside space with the sharply raked screen. It was a struggle at first moving from a Topline but when everything else was just better about the Volvo, not least an extra 310 horses under my right foot!.  When Virginia gave me the 750 I thought I’d better make the most of it, of having the most powerful truck on the road as Scania had only lost the title a year or two previously so as everyone said (including me) they’d soon bring out a 750 killer. Well, that took a while. Only now have they released the 770S, 9 years after this truck hit the road and 6 years after I stopped driving i...

MILKMAN LUKE

Hello chums. Waterford Show was a great time, met loads of great people and saw lots of brilliant trucks. Im gonna do a blog post later in the week with pics and the like. If you have any of you that you had taken with me and Bertie please send them so I can share. lorrydriverluke@live.com. I met a certain someone at the show as you can see in the pic, I think Bertie's new name plate sums the situation up! Anyhow, have a little bonus video. Of me on a milk round with my Dad. Hope you enjoy. Luke Vernon www.lorry-driver.com www.twitter.com/LukeVernon

Looking To The Future……..

So, here goes then! I’m a LinkedIn novice, having spent a lifetime as a driver! Background- after a serious car accident in 2020 that very nearly killed me I started thinking about the future, as you do when you came so close to not having one! Driving was my dream job, I’ve driven so many things from minibuses and coaches to trucks & vans and even plant machiny like articulated dumper trucks & diggers in a career that crossed 20+ countries in Europe from Portugal to Hungary to Norway to Finland to Ireland and everywhere in between so many times over a near 25 year career.. I had the time of my life, it was amazing, but…… I’ve done all I dreamed of. My CV looks ridiculous because I wanted to experience everything, which I did. But this has left me wondering what’s next? Do I simply repeat everything over the next 20 years. Which would be easy but not fulfilling or do I strike out on a new path? I’m choosing the latter.   I’m incredibly experienced as a driver but obvio...
