Hello friends. I've another Twitter account to run alongside my current one. The idea behind it is to share tips and hints and ask me and others questions. So if you want advice I will try and answer and also tweet the question so others can help. I will also tweet my own tips and you can tweet me yours and I shall retweet them for others to see. This is mainly aimed at new drivers and experienced drivers that want to help. Basically I want it to be a hub of help and advice for us all. So any transport related questions there's the place for it. Any other stuff my current Twitter account, which I shall still be using as I do now. What do you think of this idea? I want it to be an alternative to the forums where people often get shot down for asking questions. I want it to be friendly and helpful, so head to http://www.twitter/LukesTopTips Thanking you Luke www.lorry-driver.com www.twitter.com/lukevernon www.twitter.com/LukesTopTips

Good eventide peoples. I promised a new cooking video and here I am delivering. BOOM. I've never cooked a curry before so I thought why not make the first time I cook a curry into a video, in a lorry. I don't like things to be too easy. Although as it happens it was really easy. ONWARD

Hello chums and errrr, chums. Hope today finds you well. I'm in bed having a lie in and thought I'd post an update. Sorry content is a bit thin on the ground of late but that is about to change. I shall be making another Top Tips video in the coming week or so. Due to popular demand this will be picking up and dropping trailers. Apparently I've been told videos showing this on European trucks are hard to find so I shall set to work on that once Holly has had a wash! Talking of videos I've been doing a lot of UK work of late hence the lack of travel videos. I think the European work is picking up a little so hopefully we can get back to it. And next month there will be an exciting series of videos for you but that's all I'm saying for now, I'm planning them as we speak. So anyhow have a lovely weekend one and all and I suppose I should get up and cook my breakfast now. Finally the picture is Holly parked next to the truck of my good friend from my HSF days ...

Here's another Where Am I for you to peruse. Was a lovely evening. Thanking you Luke Vernon www.lorry-driver.com www.twitter.com/lukevernon

Good day to you. If you are part of my Facebook or Twitter accounts you may know what I'm about to say, if not here goes. Yesterday I saw a little boy with his Dad in his truck. It made me smile as it always does because some of my best childhood memories are form my times trundling round with my Dad in the lorry. I tweeted about it and pointed out it's sad that it doesn't happen so much anymore. I then got quite a few pictures of drivers kids and their lorries which cheered me up no end. It's good to see that some companies still let kids get involved. So anyhow, it gave me an idea. Which I'm gonna call Sir Bertie's Kids Corner! The idea is a page here on my website for kids. So what I'd like you to do is send pictures of your children when they've been for a spin in the lorry. Aware that not all kids are allowed I'd like pictures they've drawn of lorries too, either a pic of the drawing or you could take a picture of your child holding the pict...

Hello peeps. Sorry for the delay. I needed a break, as as you saw other things got to me and so on. Another part of the reason is a missing memory card hence a bit of a jump in the middle of this video. So many apologies for that but I couldn't keep you waiting much longer in the vain hope the card would turn up. My lorry has some sort of magical power that makes thing disappear. I can normally be heard screaming 'but I'm in a f**king lorry, how can I lose it' when I've lost something in here. Anyhow ONWARD with the video and you'll be glad to hear normal service is resumed.

Hello chums, while your waiting for the next video I thought I'd repost a diary I posted on Trucknet in 2009 of a trip to Crete. Many of you may never have seen it so I hope you enjoy. This was pre videos, Bertie, lorry-driver.com or even ONWARD! Hope you enjoy. Well here is my first diary. I have always wanted to do one but have been waiting for the combination a an intresting run with the time to take pictures as I'm normally rushing around. I started in Manchester on Monday afternoon with 11 pallets of frozen kosher food to pick up. Was too late for London so loaded at this place on Tuesday morning, one of those dodgy Industrial estates in North London. Had to reverse about 300 meters down this ally to load, glad I walked down there first and did not just drive in. Then onto Paris for the last collection on Wednesday morning. I'm not used to such an easy life! I actually woke up 3 hours late, but hey ho, nobody said anything. A quick stop in Macon Truckstop was in order ...

Howdy doodle chaps and chapesses. As some of you have noticed I have been very quiet of late and still have outstanding videos. The truth of the matter is I needed a break from things, and it was nearly a permenant one! I was burning myself out and then some angry comments from people on various sites got to me a bit and I seriously considered giving it all up. I know I get and am grateful for the loads of brilliant positive messages, but sometimes a handful of bad ones from people that seemingly hate me outweigh no end of positive ones. It's hard to explain. Anyhow, a friend came up with the idea of having a page on my site for the horrible comments! Instead of interacting with these hateful loons just show them that they won't win.  So I may do that. So I did reach a decision. I do love my website and doing this so I shall continue, and try to ignore the hateful comments. I'm just me doing a job and sharing it with you. I don't profess to be great, or tell you you sho...

This is a bit of an easy one with the stadium in the background. So, Where am I? www.lorry-driver.com www.twitter.com/lukevernon

Sorry for lack of videos lately I have been very busy. Soon I promise. Anyhow I lost a load of pictures a few years ago when my laptop was stolen, including all pictures of my first lorry. So I was over the moon today when sorting stuff out to find this Polaroid. The only picture of my very first lorry, where it all began. Notice the shiny tanks! Hope your all having a good weekend and enjoying the Olympics, I certainly am. ONWARD. Thanking you Luke Vernon www.lorry-driver.com www.twitter.com/lukevernon
