Obviously, you won’t see native Oriental drivers like you see Eastern European drivers (I dont see why a company in, say, China would send a product to the UK in an LGV).
I ask because I’m an oriental UK citizen (wont say exactly which country I was born in, in case of doxxing, though if you ever see me out and about in an LGV in the UK in the future [if I’m successful in getting a license and a job], I suspect you’d be right to think ‘that Oriental-looking fella must be gratiaDei777’) and am just curious.

A driver from down that way works for my company out of Daventry, what difference it makes where you are from I don’t know.
Good luck getting your licence and getting a job.
My advice, avoid for profit transport like the plague, the only way to make a decent living is own account.
I’m half oriental half English but look more oriental than white. And I drive a car transporter. We have a few ex Gurkhas who drive for us who are Nepalese’s
Have you seen any Muslimy-looking HGV drivers about London? - There’s plenty of Blacks and Asians - but no Arabs for some reason… They all seem to be driving the supercars - and I even got flashed by one to let me turn across the front of him whilst delivering to Knightsbridge last month… had three arabic '2’s (backward english '7’s) on the numberplate… (turquoise coloured car - think it is the one in the vid @ 2m35s in…)
I’ve seen a few Oriental-looking ( ) drivers working for Chinese cash & carry supermarket firms over the years, the main one that springs to mind being WING YIP. wingyip.com
corij:
never seen anyone from China mowing a lawn.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
that would be about as scarce as a chinese funeral,a dead donkey,or someone from the country called pakistan driving a range rover.
thay are all on my bucket list along with the burka wearing truckie.
There was a chinky with a proper cockney accent worked for Ketra Logistics on night trunk to Palletways Fradley a couple of years ago. Also the driver who had his curtains slashed in layby on A1 other week when i did too was a ■■■■■ driving for a Dutch firm

When we were kids the phrase “Bull in a China Shop” had a different meaning to what it does these days - someone talking rubbish in an oriental-run RDC waiting room.
dieseldog999:
i put a post up years ago stating id never seen a burka wearing truckie…im still waiting for someone to see one…
Ten tears ago - burka-wearers were not allowed to DRIVE in places like Saudi Arabia.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
i thought they only got allowed to drive there a year ago but happy to be corrected.
id have thought the ones that got in here would just ignore that fact and play the race card to drive wearing them in here .
British-Pakistani over here. Surprised i haven’t seen many South Asians on HGVs. So far i’ve only seen 2 Sikhs and those delivering meat mostly rigids and that’s rarely.
RIPPER:
There is quite a few ex-gurkha’s working for Nicholls transport in Sittingbourne
All the ghurkas I knew always carried a kukri (a sharp dagger type weapon), but that was way back in my national service days , lovely chaps to work with though, toshboy
