Michael McLaughlins Volvo FH v1


Hullo all. Like most of us these days I spend an inordinate amount of time online, esp since I’m married to my sofa currently so I see a lot of truck pictures. A LOT! Some amazing trucks out there but this one shared on LinkedIn this week blew me away. Freshly restored, beautifully standard. As you know I’m not a fan at all of spot lights and bars, if you are and it’s what makes you happy go for it, but it often feels like I’m the odd one out. So when one like this comes along she almost stands out more for what is not on her. Plus I love a flat top lorry! Probably I think with the black Leyland Interstate on the show scene my favourite classic Truck. The colour is insane!

The owner Michael from Coleraine has been a www.lorry-driver.com follower from the start it turns out so you never know I may see her in the flesh at some point as I’m hoping to do a trip to Ireland in first half of next year. https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-mclaughlin-aabb991a2

Have a great day all.

#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  ...

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...
