Started sleeping cross seat no heater wouldn't change thing map and address love it retired now had great friendship other drivers

Did they put a decent bed in that upgrade? The one I had was like a mortuary slab.

Is the strip club near Watling Street Truck Stop still Open ?

thanks for this , i started in 1985 with a sweeping brush in the yard and worked my way up to my first f10 and beyond from tramper to mature night trunker , no flapping straps nor dirty back lights , no tracksuits and trainers then , 32 years later , redundant , the wife said they don t want drivers like you anymore , i had to admit she was right , anything goes now , even the poor standard of hgv drivers , all i drive now is a sweeping brush and duster , still miss it though , from nick in lancashire

Drove in the very late 60s and early 70s when a student at university. As you say, none of the comforts but my recollection is that drivers tried to help each other rather than, as now, filming everyone’s misfortunes

No night heaters draughts in cabs haps and ropes yes they were the good old days no kidding 😂

Those were the days no limiter on the truck

I had the best years 70's onwards, loved that cafe by J8 on m1, always stopped there after getting london behind me,. I remember the cdc shop/bus with the nice guy who ran it to,.

When I started driving hgv we never had cameras, sleeper cabs , night heaters , satnavs , rachet straps , curtainsiders , hiviz vests or a traffic clerk to find you backloads ! All we had was memories and bloody good ones too , happy days 👍

Hy am trying to keep up with you we also had loads of kerbstones from a concrete works near elland for darlington by pass sorry dont like bikes

You have done it again how about 1952 dad was leading agricultural lime ayrshire and fife so bedford s type with dad mam and wee man in carrycot up to kinross unload then a days fishing on loch leven when back home a lad drove dads j type mam would put carrycot on the floor for a 2hr trip to consett iron works give her some peace

O aye once again dad had many loads of steel mesh from a steelstockholders who had a ww2 airfield hanger thornaby teeside to the forth bridge about 1960

Well youve set me off again another fav 60s A1Southbound from durham early start with my dad watching the sun come over the north york moors

Hya my claim to fame is operating mobile crushers in quarries all over Scotland in 80s to90s my last crusher weighed about 120 ton we had to separate the crusher block to come over the forth bridge all traffic was stopped we had the bridge to ourselves sadly couldn't get a photo as I had to go as second man

Also I had some fun on the A66 also around 73 74 we were tramping 3 caterpillar dumptrucks up to penrith the trucks were 12ft wide in heavy rain at Warcop one truck skidded nose dived in a ditch major panic army rescued us a tracked machine winched the truck back on the road which was at a stand still another day our low loader loaded with a CAT D8 on engine blew up and ended up at the main gate for Appleby grammar school we ended up having to get the dozer onto another trailer so there was mud oil sleepers school buses and a head master going ballistic good old days

Really enjoyed video n music fond memories coatsgate cafe revolving wood door and bacon butty had many trips on the 74 dad was owner driver long distance in1973 I was up at Stirling on a caterpillar loading shovel digging out for the M9 when I came of hire I was told to drive the shovel back to co durham. So I had to go through airdrie lanark then down the 74 across the A69 to hexham then over to stanhope co durham it was a long trip at about 22 mph also the shovel was over the white line dodgy with wagons passing I was pleased a workmate was my escort

My claim to fame on shap was i slept through it my father was long distance lorry driver in the 50 60s i had many trips i was 12yr old when one day in the midlands we had to wait all day fir a load of castings to go to ayr docks bound for ireland as the day went on dad tried to rebook a night at my favourite cafe the kernel bloxwich to late so dad said we would go up overnight the load had to be sheeted and roped so we set off had tea at garstang i remember coffee machines in kendal must have fell asleep missed shap when we go to ayr the dockers got a surprise castings were still hot then overnight in glasgow loaded with fray bentos to newcastle we lived in co durham dad was a subbie to coopers road services glasgow and bilston area and also a raritie brs stockton happy days

Most nostalgic with great comments and music.In the Stainmore Cafe in the old days you always got two eggs with breakfast. Happy days and the A66 Scotch Corner to Penrith hasn't changed much over the tops in 60 years. Anyone remember when Bowes and Brough weren't by-passed ? Everything you said resonates with me. Thanks.

It is called “Wilko”

Very good smooth well done 🎉

❤❤

👏❤️🥰👏

Holy laing

Only an 8 speed. I have found that anything less than a 13 sucks seeing how they 8-11 aways seem to need a splitter.

That is one of the best gearboxes ever fitted to a truck! If empty pull away in 2nd then go 4th. Flick switch up,6th, 8th. It's called a 4 over 4 gear box. I love mine, I drive a Scania p450 32t hook loader.

Love that truck 🚚

Do one for me pls ❤😊

No one can take your memories away, in their time those trucks were the king's of the road, there was an art to driving them and a skill too. No power steering, no synchromesh on the gear changing, you couldn't stop concentrating for a second. If you did, these trucks would soon let you know about it. I often wonder how younger drivers would fair today if they had to drive them. Modern trucks today are lovely wagons too. Don't ever forget your wonderful memories, keep on trucking 👍

Great vid

What the hell

I'll ride Shotgun with you and I'll bring my Rose Tinted Glasses too! Should Auld Acquaintance be forgot, for Auld Lang Syne? I'll also admit to going over Shap Southbound in my car in Aberdeen Booster, more than once. 77 this year and still miss the days when Drivers stuck together and helped each other out. Thanks for the memories, Jock!

Happy grandad❤🎉

The best double act since the Chuckle Brothers

My initial knowledge of Shap was from seeing pictures of steam trains climbing from Tebay, and also of the Lune Gorge, where trains would take water and take a run at the bank. I was aware that the A6 also went over Shap, but I knew little about the road, apart from the fact that every effort was made to keep it open, even in the depths of winter. Imagine the shock I received the first time I travelled on the line. It was the summer of 1968. I must have been aware of a new bridge being built over the line, near Thrimby Grange, between Penrith and Shap, but I could hardly believe what I saw a few minutes later, namely a massive bridge over the railway just north of Tebay Station, the Lune Gorge being churned up with a six-lane motorway, and an even more massive bridge over the railway at Grayrigg, at the end of the gorge. Shap and Tebay would never be the same again. Until then, the only classified road in the area was the A685, and I gather that this road had to be considerably realigned to make way for the M6. Next time I travelled along this route by train, three years later, the M6 had been open for about a year and a half, and the destruction of the Lune Gorge was complete. I made three enforced trips on the M6 not long after, and finally, in 1977, drove the Kendal to Carlisle stretch of the A6, shortly after passing my test. (Yes, and a large lorry cut the corner on the bridge at Clifton and Lowther Station.) How I missed both the lorry and the bridge parapet remains a mystery. I
