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.

#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  ...

#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.
