#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

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...
