    Very good video showing what life on the road is all about, It’s not for everybody especially when you have got a young family back at home and you are up the road all week, I used to do it years ago when my kids were young and it can sometimes put a massive strain on a relationship. Hope you get a trip to Scotland really soon the further north the better as it’s absolutely stunning scenery up there, Take care and best wishes Billy

    On the subject of keeping healthy on the job, I'm curious to know why the idea of introducing 24-hour gyms at some of the major service stations hasn't been discussed. It seems to make sense in several ways: it would 1) allow the drivers to maintain the basic levels of fitness they need, 2) help to alleviate boredom during breaks and 3) maybe improve the quality of sleep too.
    Having said that, I can perfectly understand why going to the gym would be the last thing a person would want after a 15-hour shift.

    It was good to see you driving in Slough as it brought back mixed memories for me when I worked in a office for a paper merchant firm , though to be honest it is a bit of a dump but I was lucky as I transferred to our Swindon branch which was far more organized as the manager at Slough was a bit of an idiot.

    Hi Billy !
    Thanks ever so much for this insight into your trucking exploits & adventures right across the U.K. 🇬🇧 !
    Like yourself I enjoy watching the Formula One Motor Racing . . . Lewis Hamilton 🏎 so food to see him winning again, 1st🏆🥇 place at the British Grand Prix for a record 9th time at the same venue !
    I also enjoy just about anything & everything to do on the subject of Aviation from the Wright Brothers at Kittyhawk, U.S.A. 🇺🇸 in 1903 right up to the present day, having my own library of books 📚 on Aviation subjects / topics etc. . . .
    . . . all forms of Transport interest me & I enjoy reading too over a wide range of subjects / topics etc. !
    Take Care of Yourself, Good Sir &
    All the Best to You, Billy 👍 !
    Regards,
    Roger ( Househusband / Unpaid Carer )

    In the HGV industry, do HGV drivers always drive the same lorry? Or do you have the same lorry for a while then change to a different one?

      It depends. If you do “Day work” different truck probably. If you sleep in your truck, you normally get allocated your own 👍
