    These trucker vids are all identical. They bang on about how fantastic the industry is etc- but it's not going to end well. Sleeping out in a lorry - the guy looks exhausted- this is no way to live- shifts destroy you- mentally physically and the relationship- jumping from job to job to job...exhausting....get out while you still can...do some pen pushing job at the civil service...its only a matter of time until the next job comes to a crashing end....how is it a new challenge? moving a steering wheel down the same roads... making vids to break the monotony.... get the hell out and save yourself...

      The job is what you make it. I did it from 1972 to start of this new year. You should have seen the shit we were driving in the 70's .

    After nearly 30 years tramping I have decided to semi-retire. Trunking 2 nights a week. Trucking is more than a job it is a way of life, especially tramping and European work. Family life doesn't exist. Leaving early hours Monday returning late Friday or running out of time running in Saturday morning. Home for only a day and a half. Strain on relationship, home life, family life, putting up with bad driving, R.D.C's attitude, traffic jams & hold-ups, telematics, driving rules/ hours, working time directive, tacho laws, V.O.S.A., potential fines, diesel theft & thieves, truck stops & service areas. There are good things too, not many only a few.

    The only reason I hate trucking is because we don’t get to take a break and relax.always having to rush because if we don’t we get back home too late and get asked why we spend too long at one job. The pressure is too much but the money is amazing that’s why I carried on.
