#TruckingDiaries: The North Remembers; Aberdeen Wanderings Ep1



*Sorry about sound in a couple of clips. Couldn’t improve it*

As promised here’s the new, from 2019 trip video! Don’t actually seem to get all that far in episode 1, I just seem to talk about food, buy food, talk some more about food, be berated by Sir Bertie about nopales, cook food, talk about food then sleep and dream about chicken Kiev’s, get up for another wee (one of the great joys of middle age), eat a Babybel with a glass of milk, go back to bed, get up, cook breakfast and so on and so forth ad infinitum, my life in a nutshell.  More trucking in next episode I promise! 

Hopefully you can see how I’m taking more time and putting more effort into my content, it’s even got intro and outro music, go me (just iMovie music, no one has written me a jolly jingle yet! Hint. Hint.) and that is my way of saying thank you so very much for all the support. I have big plans for my online content when I get my licence back (no idea, ask DVLA!) & I can’t wait to put it into action. Setting up some things I can do without licence so First #DayInTheLife video will appear soon (ish). The general direction I’m hoping to push my blog in is basically a bit of an online magazine sort of thing. More about other parts of the industry, more industry news, more other drivers, more for kids, more reviews & more Trucking lifestyle stuff. All in addition to now, there will still be my diaries, Cooking, top tips and advice. Anything is possible. If there is anything you’d like to see specifically please comment as I’m always very open to suggestions and ideas. 

But, as I say, thank you again from the bottom of my heart for all your mental & financial support. You’ve saved me from disaster, mentally & financially. Bertie won’t dip into his colossal wealth to help the household because frankly he’s a t**t. A cactus leaf eating t**t.
 

See you back here at same time next week for the next part (looking like a least 3 episodes, possibly 4)

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 ...
