#ThrowbackThursday……on Friday

In a break to the normal ranting-

Late #ThrowbackThursday today. It’s 2007, I had not been long at Virginia, before this I was driving a Dutch DAF XF on the fabled HSF ‘day night days’, and I was piloting my year old R500 on a trip I had dreamed of since I was a childhood, Italy for the first time. It lived up to expectations as you can imagine and despite previous to this my longest job being barely a year I’d go on to work for Virginia for another 8 years. And the rest as they say is history. Have a great evening all. After literally dozens of jobs I landed on my feet with that one. (And before you ask- no, I don’t want to be away full time anymore!) (This truck was never in my videos, that was one after. This is 06CN831 one later 06CN830 ‘Bruce’ 😂)

Today

Well I feel a bit better today having had a good sleep. I slept in a Gigantibus, or more commonly known as a Magnum, and when I opened the blinds I was greeted with an inch of snow and it's still snowing. So I've got to drive a truck I've never driven before, in snow, on untreated roads, oh and did I mention the truck is only a few months old! Today will be very much slow and steady with a good dose of nail biting!

#DriverShortage; New Video Midday Sunday

Good evening all. I hope your weekend is going to plan. Just to say there will be a new #DriverShortage video midday tomorrow talking about the proposed driving test changes and a life and DVLA update (nothing overly exciting alas). For now here’s some recent pictures of evil juggernauts thundering through town piloted by lunatics. #Shocking. Have a good evening chums www.buymeacoffee.com/lukevernon   https://linktr.ee/lorrydriverdotcom     Buy me a coffee

FREELANCE LUKE!

Hello everyone. So as many of you will know I was unfairly given the boot from my transport manager job at Virginia. The truth is I was thinking of leaving anyhow as the stress was insane. I got back on the the road on Saturday and it felt like coming home, hitting the M5 in a Volvo FH 500, radio on, stress free work, it was bliss and made me realise it all turned out for the best. Anyway, back to now. Im now a freelance driver. I want to work on my terms when I want to work. I've been a driver for 18 years and have a full clean C+E and D+E licences so I can drive coaches and trucks. I'd love a bit of coach work in the summer to keep my hand in. All up date with CPC and have a packages ADR licence. Im interested in a variety of work. Mostly local but I do want to do trips to Europe on occasion. I spent 3 years piloting a FH16 750 so I can be trusted with any truck! I have experience with many types of work. Fridges (hanging and boxed), flats, curtainsiders, euroliners, tankers,...
