#SharpEnd; Truck & Driver Opinion Piece

Good afternoon one and all. I hope this sun and warmth we are enjoying in West Wales is the same wherever you are. We really needed this weather after what will always be in my, and other peoples darkest winter. One one hand I find myself seeing memories from a year ago and thinking it feels like last week on the other that winter never ever seemed to have an end so good f**king riddance you hateful thing!

If you do read let me know what you think (can’t post freely as that would sort of defeat the purpose of using me!). Thanks Dougie for my new tag line!

Though it has a terrible reputation for bad roads the road network is unrecognisable compared to just 20/25 years ago and bad roads are becoming ever fewer and further between. My first taste of Ireland was when Dad started working for Nolans in the late 90’s who were at the time one of ‘South Wales’ biggest employers of drivers. Back then the roads were horrendous and you had to make sure everything was strapped down, in the cab as well as the trailer! Nolan’s gets a lot of bad said about it but like most things a lot is not really true. Yes they were plain speakers, yes you ran day and night but no one ever went there for an easy time. Fact is they were/are well run and like most of Ireland’s transport sector a family firm where you’re more like to see the boss in overalls ...
