Truckstop Review: Avon Lodge, Avonmouth

Hello friends. Here be the first of an occasional series of Truckstop reviews, because sometimes you can’t be arsed cooking! Let me know what you think, if it’s any good etc and and suggestions, truckstops, cafes or even snack vans. The plan is to pretty much have a set meal when possible so we can compare places with each other- that meal is a fry up because a fry up is one of the best meals on earth!

An ideal fry up for me is 2 fried eggs, 2 bacon, tinned tomatoes, mushrooms, 1 slice of black pudding and 1 chunky sausage or 2 chipolatas, favourite type is the deliciously peppery Cumberland but not been in a cafe yet that lets you choose type of sausage! 2 toast and tea rounds out the meal. Preferably white sliced toast. Not a massive fan of fried bread or hash browns but will eat if there. I don’t go in for all that nonsense most do with fry ups by thinking it’s fixed this fixed that. Just eat what you like!

The Avon Lodge Truckstop has over 40 HGV Spaces, 24 hour CCTV and pay at pump diesel.

A SHORT DAF XF REVIEW

DAF Review So, one of most common questions I'm asked lately is what I think of the DAF. Obviously for a long time time I've mostly driven Volvos and Scanias and before this job it was well over a decade since I last tramped full time in a DAF (for HSF). As you know though I had driven later models and hated the body XF with a passion! When the current version came out DAF seemed very confidant it would change my mind about them in our Twitter exchanges but I thought how different can it be? The answer? A lot. In some ways its like a completely different truck despite being almost identical in looks. Firstly- the gearbox. The auto on previous DAFs was a fupping disaster and everyone knew it! Show, jerky and just generally rubbish in a way no auto should be this late in the day. That's completely changed, for the vast majority of the time it's indistinguishable from an iShift (that having long been the good standard). Yes it has its odd moments but they are very rare an...

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...
