#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’ 😂)

#ThrowbackThursday; Virginas 30th.

  #ThrowbackThursday to 2012 and Virginias 30th birthday party in 2012. Being handed they keys to an FH16 750 bought to celebrate the 30th of the company I loved working for and the day after this pic shipping out on my first run in her on direct boat to France with four drops in Portugal probably won’t be topped in my career to be honest! Will keep trying though. They’re 40 soon! Happy Thursday all. Oh and quickly before anyone asks ‘do you miss it?’- no, one of my favourite features of the ADHD I almost certainly have is living relentlessly in the present, past has gone, the future doesn’t exist in my mind. I’ve never missed anything. It’s a good thing as I’ve seen too many in this industry particularly made miserable by what they consider was a better past. Also thanks as ever for donations via Buy Me A Coffee or Patreon.

#News: New DAF Released

Hello one and all. So after much talk the new DAF tulip wagon has been released. It’s rather good looking. The dash has had an entire revamp too making it so much more useable. Digital dash as is becoming the norm now. Bed much more useable. DAF already had the best bed in the business the past 20+ years so it’ll be interesting to see how this one compares. Also I think the extra window in the passenger door is a fantastic idea, though I can hear the drivers moaning about it already! The other day I was thinking about the Leyland Roadrunner. Remember they had an extra window in front? I was wondering why that never caught on. Personally I want as much visibility as possible. Also I imagine many will say how similar it is to other trucks. Fact is a truck now has very specific features that dictate what they look like so there’s fairly a small amount of flexibility designers have. Fuel consumption, cooling, GVW, safety all trump aesthetics.  https://linktr.ee/lorrydriverdotcom  ...
