You cannot pinpoint a demographic grouping for a UK LGV driver, we’re a VERY broad spectrum & I’d challenge anyone to pick out the LGV driver in a crowd anywhere.
Yet we do seem to share certain traits.
One of the main reasons I’m sat in a cab, & it’s something that I’ve noticed in most of the fellow drivers I get along with, is that we want to be left alone to do our own thing. We want to drive out those gates & be rid of the multiple avenues of corporate BS untill we drive back through them. This is why we hate H&S, DVSA, HA, pointless managers with pointless clipboards looking for someone to justify their pointless existence, teenage planners & hipster agency dudes with pointy shoes . . . et al & all of their petty rules.
Whilst I know of a few drivers who are prepared to tolerate inward facing camera’s, I don’t know anyone who actually embraces them.
Which makes me, as an LGV driver by career choice, extremely suspiscious that some folk on TNUK think they’re such a good thing that they can argue in their favour?
