#DayInTheLife; New Series Coming Soon!


Hello blog chums. Excitedly have the first of my #DayInTheLife videos arranged. In a sector of the industry that I have no experience of at all it will be super interesting to me even if not you! You’ll have to wait to see what! (Pic unrelated) but should be up within the next two weeks. In the meantime you’ll get the odd random bit of #DriverShortage nonsense and the final part of the Milkward video diary.

Picture unrelated! 
If you would like to host me for a #DayInTheLife……… video pop me an email. Doesn’t have to be driving, want to cover all jobs within transport, so office, yard, workshop etc and you can talk as much or as little or not at all, frankly I can talk the hind legs off a donkey. Also you do need to get permission from your employer if that’s not you. When asking point out that the last word on what goes out rests with you and them. Nothing would be used without permission. Needs to be within West Wales for now while I can’t drive. luke@lorry-driver.com

It’s a very exciting series to embark on as the possibilities are endless. Plus I can concentrate more on shooting. Don’t hold your breath though if you’re expecting them to be slick and professional. That’s unlikely still! 

Have a great week all.

EXTREME WEATHER; ADVICE FOR CAR DRIVERS

Hello peeps. As many of you will know some really bad weather is about to hit us and last over the festive period. Reading about it on BBC news the line 'give high sided vehicles plenty of room' gave me an idea for a blog post. So here it is! Many people who have very little motorway experience take to the road at this time of year. Im not claiming to be the best driver in the world, I just know that many car drivers follow my blog and lets face it the car test is inadequate at best. So all I want to do is give you some advice I learned from driving everything from cars to minibuses to double deck coaches and vans to artics in 22 different countries over the past 18 years! IN HIGH WINDS- 1. DO NOT DITHER! On motorways often if a problem occurs most car drivers first reaction is to brake. In many cases this can be the worst option! If you see a high sided struggling with wind as you overtake ACCELERATE! The best place to be is in front of it, not behind, and most certainly not b...

#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 ...
