I was parked up for lunch just off the N10 in France near the entry/exit to the lorry park ‘Maison Blanches’. Its a completely different world to what it used to be. To start with a huge canopy has been built so the lorry and driver can be parked up in the shade. WIFI is provided so they can keep in touch with home. There’s a restaurant and a shop selling the latest dishes so the hard done by driver can watch the latest soaps and a lorry wash and filling station as well as showers and toilets.
HOW DID WE MANAGE YEARS AGO!!!
One thing that really struck me though was the fantastic kit these drivers have today. My Scania was great but some of this new stuff definitely put me and mine in the stone age. I took some pictures of lorries leaving the site. Most of these were average but others were mind blowing. I was only there for a short time. I could have stayed all day.
