That was fantastic, took me right back in time. Much better job then, drivers helped each other out and had a great craic when parked up. I wish I could turn the clock back and do it all again. Thanks for posting.
what a great video pete reminds me of a kid riding in my Grandads 113s i also subbed for curries in the late 90s they had some great work regards Mike from Birmingham
Brilliant. Simply BRILLIANT. Thank you ever so much for posting this video. Spent ages just pointing out spots on the road I recognised from the "Glory Days" of European road haulage, when it were a proper job. Cracked up seeing/hearing Ian "Elton" Davidson singing along to "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me". Loved every minute of the video.
My dad had a truck that looked very similar to that one. H270 SRM. I always remember the registrations of old trucks better than I do my own car. Great video of the days when I was a cab happy youngster. 👍🏼
Really enjoyed watching that, and them old scannys 😍😍😍 propper tools. Reminds me of when I used to go away with my dad as a young lad in the 90’s. Driving myself for the last 12 years now.
Great video. I started driving in the early 2000s but worked with old school drivers who told me about the old days.. it wasn’t so far away 10 years on and I can remember following another driver to a truck stop near Calais from the same company and they all knew each other and were telling some great yarns! I see the feminist weren’t screaming about equality so much back then when you had to roll round in the shit to change a tyre and sleep in a small cab!!!
Back in the day before the whole game went to rat shit....I got the 1st 143...450,, in the North East.....I believe F686 JCN....had wings that wagon....people asking me in Dover if they could sit in cab and have there pic taken....😃🤣 fuck off was the answer
I sold up, went back to college and wound up working in world motorsport for a company involved with the top race teams in F1, MotoGP and WRC. Great times.
What a great video loved hearing those old Scanias not like today’s trucks that are so quite 👍

I am the same wish I could turn the clock back great days of European 30 years now retrie miss being on the road UK work know thanks
Love the Baghdad trip joke on phone..... Frissin Pils and Yasser .. Brilliant.
Just came across this, great to hear a 360 Scania again.
SC71000 Thank you. They were probably the best times and the best trucks. There are few bad trucks now but the industry is not what it was.
Any more vid's Pete, this one is a treasure to behold because it's rare footage of a special time in trucking?
Glad you enjoyed it. I have none from that time only more recent ones while driving for another outfit over here. You will find them on my channel.
no in cab cameras monitoring your eyes.... laid back lifestyle..... laughing and joking...
oooh how times have changed for the worse!
good stuff fellas!!! old trucker from USA :)
Great video.
First bit was M6 Corley when the road was closed for 30 hrs, I Remember it as one of our drivers was in it.
Just stumbled across this Pete, great video done the same work and was based in East Lothian.

Whatever happened to PCH?

You still involved in transport ?
I sold up in 1996 and worked in F1 and MotoGP for a few years. I still live in Cumbria and drive trucks for a large Leicester based outfit.
