#ThrowbackThursday


#ThrowbackThursday One of my favourite lorries Dad ever had. This was on a run to Madrid. She actually got more interest than the just out SuperSpaceCab would have being a Leyland cabbed DAF, super rare over there and Leyland DAF name almost unknown. I always loved the look of the Roadtrain and they looked great with the Leyland DAF grille. Complete with our ferry ticket I found the other day! DJ were new to international work and only really dallied with it, I noticed ticket was on Mansel Davies account, a company we’d both end up working for 20 years later, and they borrowed a DKV card from local coach company, Davies Bros! The place I started my driving career a couple of years after this! West Wales Transport is a small world!

FAT LORRY DRIVERS...

Good day to you. So there I am, lying on my bed reading Truck & Driver and I come across a piece about a subject close to my heart. If you visit this website then you will know full well how much I try to prove to drivers that eating well is a simple important task. This particular piece in T&D is about Mercedes and their efforts to design trucks for the obese. Apparently 42% of lorry drivers in the UK have a waist of over 38 inches. The article details how Mercedes go about designing trucks for the overweight. Fine, a truck should be designed for all its users. But it got me thinking why don't they do something about stopping drivers getting fat, then, oh wait, I see a bit about this very thing. Well done Mercedes, lets see, what is it you are gonna do..... Oh, put a few faddy exercise gadgets in there. And charge a hundred quid for them. Now fine, no other manufacturer seems to be doing anything at all, but this is just pathetic I'm sorry. This relies on bosses buying...
