#TruckingTopTips The Basics: Towing Safety

Still from video on my Facebook page www.facebook.com/lorrydriverdotcom


Hope everyone’s weekend went well. Just to share something concerning a bad practice many seem not to know-

#TruckingTopTips The Basics: I see IG vids like this & I’m shouting ‘DONT STAND THERE!’ at screen. When 15 I was working driving a dumper on Haverfordwest tip & sometimes compactor had to tow a truck out. Watching one once & chain snapped & passed within a foot of me. Any closer I’d have lost my legs, if I was lucky, died if not. Left me very shaken but was a great life lesson. Won’t go near chains or cables under load at all since. Take shit like this seriously!

Have a great evening all

Some Pretty Pictures

 Someone asked to see pictures of this so here she is. The Volvo Dual Clutch 540 I took to Italy to review. Actually probably no word of a lie the single best truck I’ve ever driven. The Virginia 750 will always be my favourite but technologically this was on another level entirely. The dual clutch is a sublime driving experience, the adaptive up and downhill as well as flat cruise control with engine brake makes everything so effortless. It literally went over the Alps with minimal driver intervention. Thanks to Martin Tomlinson at Volvo for making it possible and Pete White for giving me the perfect run and Truck & Driver Magazine for printing the review. Hope to get into reviews like this much more when driving again. Have a great day all. Have a great evening all
