Who The F**k Is lorry-driver.com ?


Hullo, if you are reading this you’ll have probably either seen it on my LinkTree or seen one of my silly Facebook replies and thought ‘who the f**k is that t*wat’….. My name is Luke Vernon, and I’m a 44 year old truck driver on a break from work after nearly dying in a bad car crash. I’ve been in and around the Transport industry my entire life as my grandad was before me and Dad still is. My earliest memories involve trucks and one of the great many times I went with him as a kid.

Born in Oxford and started life in Thame we moved to Wales when I was ten and I consider myself Welsh. Currently live in Lampeter Ceredigion. My life long dream was to drive trucks internationally but my first driving job was a bus for Davies Bros. Then moved onto coaches in London for The Londoners and Clarke’s of London. Moved between that and international tours with Parnhams coaches and finished my coaching career, as a full time driver at least when I was offered my first truck driving job at Nolans (yes, that Nolan’s). I then moved onto agency work in London before moving to HSF Logistics in Holland (yes, that HSF). 

At age 30 I was offered a full time position with Virginia Transport in Ireland. I was to spend the next 9 years there driving across Europe from Greek islands to Norway, Sweden and Finland. Came off road full time to set up a U.K. depot for them, which I did then returned to driving for a Tesco subcontractor. Then returned to international work with Whites Transport Services and Broughton Transport Solutions. Due to poor health I decided to slow down and took a 4 on 4 off job where my Dad worked in West Wales, Mansel Davies. Been a trucking YouTuber since 2008.

February 29th 2020 I had a serious car accident that required an air ambulance, without them I would be dead. Spent the two years since blogging, vlogging, selling blog merchandise, volunteering at National Trust and fighting the DVLA for the return of my licence! I live in hope, have car licence and searching for van driving jobs.

Oh, and I’m also an enthusiastic homosexual in my spare time.

And that is that! So far. Unless I die in my sleep tonight.

HIGHWAYS ENGLAND IS DAMAGING THE COUNTRY

Hello friends. I need to get a little rant of my chest..... I recently had two weeks off, it was lovely. On my return I went straight out with a load for Budapest. Ballina in the West of Ireland is a long way so had four days to do it. Lovely run. I delivered 2am Saturday, reloaded midnight Sunday at same place and headed back. Because of the loading time I got to run back overnight. I tweeted how this was a great way to run through Europe and that I could get 50 to 100km more done on a nightshift. I got some tweets about the UK being a nightmare at night so I smiled to myself and replied that that is very true. I flew back, lovely quiet motorways, flying along. Well, until I hit England. Coming round M25 and up M1 I see signs warning of problems on the M4 (almost nobody heading north on M1 is likely to have the M4 on their agenda). I stopped in Coventry for a spot of shopping and off I went. I was gonna go up M6 Toll but matrix signs said shut so carried on. Just before the M6 junctio...

SOME VERY SAD NEWS AND A REQUEST

Hello chums, I hope you are well. You may have noticed I've been a little quiet online the past few days. The picture is of my brother in his first week as a truck driver driving my R500, Bruce, when he came to work for Virginia and spent a week with me learning the ropes! Its breaks my heart to tell to that at 9am on Saturday morning he died when his heart failed in hospital after being admitted with pneumonia. He had been ill for a year or so but this was a bolt out of the blue that has left us devastated. He seemed to be getting better. I tried to make a video for this request but I couldn't hold it together long enough to get many words out. He was 32 years old and leaves two young children. So heres the request, the care he has had over the past year has been brilliant, so I have decided to try and raise some money in his memory to help people in the area he lived who need care like he did. So me and the whole family would be so pleased if you could donate anything you cou...
