DVLA Ruining Lives. Again.

They want ‘targeted
action’ let’s give it
to them
What do you get if you cross the DVLA with a Union? Nothing because that would mean doing something. #Boom & indeed #Tish

Hello all. After seeing a tweet today from the PCS Union gearing up for more industrial action in DVLA medical department I’m going to concentrate our campaigning on that! It is after all #DriverShortage related and I’ll return to that connected issue tomorrow. They are mindlessly destroying lives with this action at this time. The DVLA is huge and they are trying to get staff numbers PER FLOOR to single figures. As truckers we are trumpeted as ‘Key Workers’, pushed out the door and told to get on with it. The Government thinking a solution to a supposed driver shortage problem is to lump more hours on overworked drivers while ignoring this DVLA bullshit.

So send me your stories of the DVLA so I can bombard the Union with this. Start giving licences levels of importance. If you’ve left a message before no need to repeat as I’ve screenshotted all comments. There is NO REASON during a backlog for the licence of Granny who drives to shop once a week to have same importance of the likes of me and thousands of others why rely on it for our WHOLE LIVES. I mean does an airline pilot* have to be in same queue as private pilots come licence time?! (Genuine question, I don’t know. Just seems unlikely!) Stop pissing about, put a proper system in place. Get things moving. Stop mindlessly calling us key workers thinking that’s enough- start treating us like key workers. NOW. Like with #DriverShortage campaign I’ll write a letter you can copy paste and send if you wish. Be up on blog later.

Sorry, went on a bit there. Between this and driver shortage I’m risking a heart attack! Don’t tell DVLA! Not that you could get through anyway!

(*not for a second claiming our jobs are similar skills, just using as an example of a licence being important)

#LampeterLorrySpotting

 Hello all. I hope the week has treated you all well as we head into another weekend. Just a handful of #LampeterLorrySpotting this week. Have a great weekend. www.buymeacoffee.com/lukevernon   https://linktr.ee/lorrydriverdotcom   We are surrounded by forests here and forest men (or women!) know how to spec a truck.

The worst ever day of my driving career

I always knew one day I'd regret putting so much online, well today is that day. I would have loved for this balls up this never to be seen but since it's all over the forums here goes. The weather was icy, it was windy and snowing. I moved over slightly because a truck was coming, the front wheel slipped into the ditch and that was that. It's the N80 at Portlaiose, bog country. I'm fine thanks to the seatbelt, I was pinned into the seat by it. Otherwise I'd be a crumpled mess in the passenger side. Or worse out the screen. We had to take the whole load off before it was recovered, by hand. It took hours. Once that was done recovery started. It took a couple of hours. I couldn't watch half of it as it was too upsetting. When it finally got back on its own feet the damage was assessed it was startling. There is honestly not a scratch on the cab or side skirts or trailer, the mirrors are still attached and unbroken. There is a hole in the diesel tank but it's...
