I can not think of any reason to have one in a £120,000 new lorry, it is fad for European drivers, as they win the soft toys in a childs toy grab crane machine that you get at fun fairs and arcades, but why fill the lorry with toys.
Dream catchers, wild west, Indians, i do not get it.
Saw loads of lorryist`s with broken cab heaters, they must have been broken, as they all wore full size hi viz jackets, these were distance drivers, not the multi dropper, round the corner driver, does it make them a hero trucker, look at me with my hi-viz jacket on.

If it livens up someone’s surroundings and it doesn’t block the windscreen then I don’t see the problem. What’s the point in having paper or paint on the walls of a £200,000 house? It’s personal taste, leave them be.
I don’t get what you’re on about with the whole high-vis thing. 
If cab hopping, do not change the position of the cuddly toy, or they will leave you a note. 
I might drive stark bol&£ck naked tomorow, with maybe a hi viz on and a teddy bear in my window… And what’s it gota do with you?
Just making a comment, what is that got to do with you, .?
zzzzz… Sorry but this has been done to death!
Life’s too short to worry about what other people wear or what cuddly toy they have in their window.
I wish that was all that I had to worry about! 
maybe they cuddly toy is to show people the softer side to lorry drivers. they dont bother me. i dont have a cuddly toy in my truck but however i do have 2 blow up doll’s (jojo and debbie). i do wonder myself about drivers driving up m/way wearing hi-viz coats/jacket. i cant understand wear hi-viz vest over a shirt but i personally could drive with a coat/jacket on me…just saying like
or the cuddly toy is off a girlfreind/ wife/son /daughter
you muppet
And why do bin lorries have fluffy bears on their front grill ?
i have a little teddy in the window
he was bought for me on fathers day 19yrs ago by my kids when they were small , they are 20 , 21 and 24 now
hes been in every lorry ive had since and been all over europe
the kids often ask how ted is and where hes been this week
me and ted have had some good conversations over the years lol
i suppose i better tell him he has to go now because another driver dont think teddys should be allowed in lorrys
the cab is a 2nd home to a lot of trampers and what they do to make the best of it is naff all to do with anyone else

Kin ell, sad but true.
Dont leave a toothbrush in the cab 
I’ve just cleared my teddy out of my side window as I’m off tomorrow and slung him on the top bunk,driver who was walking past said" that’s no wait to treat teddy!" With the straightest look on his face and walked off.
Luke has Sir Bertie,I have Ted,now sod off and leave us alone!! Lol
I have a dream catcher hanging from the netting of the top bunk, what it does is, is catches my bad dreams in the night and when the morning sun light enters the cab the bad dreams drip down the feathers and evaporate into the atmosphere.
Toby you don’t half post some tripe…

you know when a c-list celebrity is panicking about not being the centre of attention in the press for a few days, so they ring up a newspaper and tell them where they are going to be, so they can be ‘papped’, toby gets the same worries so he posts up ■■■■■ on here to keep him centre of attention 
Do not find it as annoying as people calling truck drivers lorryists. Bleedin Clarkson has a lot to answer for.

“Tip Trophies…”
Many firms ban them now because it attracts children to the vehicle. That was what I was told when on the agency.
Jimmy Saville must’ve driven around Stoke Mandeville in a Dennis with Sooty clinging on for dear life.
I have a hug monster in my window. He’s been further than half of the drivers on here. It was a gift from someone who loves me and whom I love. When I’m away it reminds me of her. So what?
Yeah, we had the european flags criss crossed across the windows, and the bull spears at each side, and opther crap, but it made the truck look nice, and proved we were a proper international driver, including `real T.I.R. plates 
and not forgetting the coffee machine, and the guinness label for a tax disc, and the john bull outfit.
Of course VOSA frowns about this kind of activity nowdays, but i admire those with a laptop[/dvd player in the window, especially if its turned on dream catchers are ok, if they work, was gonna get one for the lottery numbers, but thought better of it, but hey, each to their own.
