#ThrowBackThursday. Scania Special Edition

Does anyone else wonder where all the time is going?! It’s racing past us right now! QUICKLY, PASS ME THE LID! MY LIFE IS ESCAPING! But at least we have some glorious weather. Anyway to get to point before I bombarded you with thousands of words that lets face it no one needs.

Anyhow *GET TO THE FRIGGING POINT YOU BOGGLE EYED ATTENTION SEEKING FREAK’*. So #ThrowBackThursday this week is Whites former beautiful Black Amber. Personally I’m not that interested in special editions but this one did look great. Many drivers are really into them though so they are great photography subjects. Probably my favourite edition with the Red Passion.

One of plans with website is regular features on same day every week and this is one. Still need pictures of your trucks it trucks you like for Tuesday’s #TopTruckTuesday. If you’ve any ideas of features to be a weekly post let me know, I need five more to add to #ThrowBackThursday & #LampeterLorrySpotting .

#TopTips: WTD & EU Drivers Hours

Hullo! So boom, after years of procrastination I finally have a drivers hours video! I’ve tried to simplify it and make it more of a chat than me droning on from a script and I think it’s turned out well. In the description all the chapters are marked so in future you can just skip straight to a point you may need reminding of. Would be great if you can share as much as possible, I know it’s 38 minutes but the legal aspect is only the first 18 minutes, the rest is dispelling the many myths about drivers hours that go around. Don’t forget my email is ALWAYS OPEN if you need advice or some clarification. If I can’t answer I’ll know someone who can. Also if after 24 hours I’ve not replied please email me again with REMINDER in capitals in description, some emails so fall through the cracks in my non existent filing system! So yes email and remember you are never bothering me and I’m always happy to help if I can. luke@lorry-driver.com It’s made me realise I love everything about teaching ...

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...
