Looking To The Future……..

So, here goes then!


I’m a LinkedIn novice, having spent a lifetime as a driver!


Background- after a serious car accident in 2020 that very nearly killed me I started thinking about the future, as you do when you came so close to not having one!


Driving was my dream job, I’ve driven so many things from minibuses and coaches to trucks & vans and even plant machiny like articulated dumper trucks & diggers in a career that crossed 20+ countries in Europe from Portugal to Hungary to Norway to Finland to Ireland and everywhere in between so many times over a near 25 year career.. I had the time of my life, it was amazing, but……


I’ve done all I dreamed of. My CV looks ridiculous because I wanted to experience everything, which I did. But this has left me wondering what’s next? Do I simply repeat everything over the next 20 years. Which would be easy but not fulfilling or do I strike out on a new path? I’m choosing the latter.  


I’m incredibly experienced as a driver but obviously not much else and I know it’ll be far from easy, but I’ve never been content to take the easy path, easy is boring. 


This post is simply a long winded way to put out there that I’m hunting for new challenges away from driving. The areas I think I’m best at would be marketing, social media, education & maybe sales. I want to stay in the transport industry and working for a truck manufacturer would be ideal but obviously this isn’t set in stone, nothing is.


I’m under no illusions, I know and accept I would be starting at the bottom, that’s only right. I’m not expecting to be parachuted into a managerial role..


What can I give? When switched on by something I’m unstoppable. Super reliable, if I say I’ll do something I’ll do it and incredibly enthusiastic about any job I choose.


As far as marketing and sales goes I have built up very popular blog and have a big social media presence. I’ve been a YouTuber 13 years. I also regularly write for Truck & Driver magazine as well as setting up and running my online Trucking Stuff store, I’m quite good at merchandise!


So. There goes…..it’s out there

FAT LORRY DRIVERS...

Good day to you. So there I am, lying on my bed reading Truck & Driver and I come across a piece about a subject close to my heart. If you visit this website then you will know full well how much I try to prove to drivers that eating well is a simple important task. This particular piece in T&D is about Mercedes and their efforts to design trucks for the obese. Apparently 42% of lorry drivers in the UK have a waist of over 38 inches. The article details how Mercedes go about designing trucks for the overweight. Fine, a truck should be designed for all its users. But it got me thinking why don't they do something about stopping drivers getting fat, then, oh wait, I see a bit about this very thing. Well done Mercedes, lets see, what is it you are gonna do..... Oh, put a few faddy exercise gadgets in there. And charge a hundred quid for them. Now fine, no other manufacturer seems to be doing anything at all, but this is just pathetic I'm sorry. This relies on bosses buying...
