#MyTopThree. Vehicles. Number 3


Greetings. Seems lots of people enjoy when I post older pictures from my past, and let’s face it it’s not like I can take many at moment (soon hopefully). So after a think I decided to do my Top 3 vehicles across this week. This is all about my personal choice, the vehicles that I think have been the best for me for some reason. Though I do think its a fact my Number 1 is one of the best vehicles of all time, possibly the best, but you’ll have to wait for that! Also as you may know I’m a relentless lover of the new and unlike many drivers I’m under no illusion, modern trucks are nicer to drive, so my choices very much belong in their time.

And *insert drumroll* Number 3 is the Scania R Series. Before Virginia the only Scanias I’d driven had been the day cab monstrosity's Tesco had. I used them out of Harlow. But since I started at Virginia is 2007 they’ve gone from my least driven to most. The best version is the last one, with its proper bed, not that ridiculous bed you have to make before bed. In the last of the R’s the slide out bed was the best in the business in my opinion, well, level with DAF. Otherwise I love the driving position with its wrap round dash. A very comfortable truck to drive that I’ve driven up as far as Norway and down as far as Crete.

So what’s your number 3? Hold back on others for when I post 2 & 1.



Dark Diamond 1. I did it’s last trip for Whites, Italy. Probably my favourite of the special editions

The Flexibility of In-House Training, Without The Cost

I offer you all the advantages of having an in house trainer without the cost or commitment. I will quote for your business based on how many drivers will need training over the course of a year, then you or your drivers can simply contact me when they wish to attend one of my online timetabled courses, taking away all the stress of trying to arrange up to 20 drivers to sit a course on the same day, much more flexible for your business and I take all the stress out of it. Let’s face it running a transport company is stress enough! I run daytime, evening and weekend courses, times to suit everyone. I also find this method is much more popular with the drivers. I am however also happy to quote for your online or in person courses, up to 20 at a time at times and dates to suit you at any location. Everyone who attends my courses and your office staff will be given my contact details and told I’m available at any time to help and advise as required. I’m always here to help customers, basic...

#MyTopThree: Countries. 1. IRELAND

So if you have thought about what #MyTopThree Countries much I dare say you’ll find number one inevitable. So yes, Ireland! I feel I should remind you this is a top 3 based on overall experience, not just driving. 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 ...
