  • God Bless And Protect Our Drivers

    Father, who is this gentleman who is dead?

    I don’t know, son.

    Just know he was a truck driver.

    The young man is approaching a person with a white shirt and a very elegant pants, he was the boss of that driver, the boy grabs his hand and asks.

    Can I know what a truck driver is?

    The boss responds to a voice and his eyes full of tears

    A driver

    Is a person who sleeps less than a lot of people,

    It goes through the cold, heat, sun, rain, hunger, hours drive and endless waiting.

    And there are moments when he doesn’t have days, Christmas, new year and many other important moments,

    He’s very far away from his family.

    From their children

    From his wife

    From his parents, brothers and sisters,

    Regularly gets scolded or even beaten when they try to steal his goods…

    Go through thousands of fears…

    If he leaves for work, he doesn’t know if he’s going home.

    Or if he has to work for a few days because of the bad weather, or worse still lose his life…

    .. That’s part of what a “truck driver” is.

    Suddenly, the sound of a phone that is in the pocket of the deceased’s pants……

    The boss leaves the child for a moment to take the cell phone, he sees it’s a message from his daughter and with very low voice starts reading it

    He reads:

    (hello daddy ❤, I took the cell phone from mom

    To wish you a happy birthday, I look forward to seeing you and giving your gift because after 2 days you are not back, I look forward to cutting your cake

    Today we’re going to do it together!!

    I love you, daddy. You’re a great father.

    I send you a kiss

    I’ll wait for you at home.

    That’s the life of a “driver” unfortunately often tragic

    Regardless of his society, as a passenger or freighter…

    If you can spread the post so that people instead of criticism appreciate the effort of a driver!

    God bless and protect all drivers!

    Peace with his soul…

  • Gassed Whilst Asleep In Their Cabs

    A Warning to Raise awareness “

    Gassed while asleep in their cabs !!

    A heavy goods vehicle driver Mark George would like to raise awareness to a problem that is on the increase across the county and beyond, after a truck/ trailer was targeted by thieves on the M1.

    This is happening very regularly these days we are paying per night between £27 and £30 to park the trucks up in services with no security at all and putting our lives at risk.

    Some companies won’t pay for this and you have to park in a lay by or a industrial estate with no toilet or nothing to use. I feel that the local authority should be doing more and also the motorway services should also be stepping up to the plate I’ve known drivers being gassed while they are asleep in there cabs while there load is being stolen .

    In this latest case they have taken a full load of high end products which consisted of 26 pallets and every one has been stolen overnight.

    It happened at the Woolley Edge services near to Sheffield.

    Grimsby Immingham and Scunthorpe have had a huge increase to theft from trailers recently. What is the answer to this ongoing problem.
