Looks like she already has the gut for the job 
SfL is still peddling the lies they have for years then.
There are also misconceptions such as the long working hours and heavy lifting. Possibly the biggest is that it’s a job for people who can’t do anything else.
Riiight. I must be imagining do 50 hrs in 4 days and dragging 1.3 tonne pallecons off fridges with a hand truck.
“It can be whatever you want it to be,” says my trainer Phil, who has been in the industry for 16 years. "If you want to deliver goods in your local town and finish in time to pick up the kids from school you can. If you want to see the world and earn some good money you can.
Can I have one of these mystical elusive jobs? 15 years in and I’ve yet to find one.
Can you all please send your comments.

thats not her gut 
it’s no bra and gravity 
where are they buying their trucks 
With top-of-the-range lorries costing close to £750,000,
It seems Scania are now a Swedish haulage company.
Skills shortage my arse. I just lost £2 an hour at a weekend if they are that short i would not be having my wages cut.

Its champions argue it’s skilled and drivers can rack up £50,000 a year and travel the world. Companies in Canada will even sponsor drivers who want to move from the UK
thats the job i want
The location of the depot, run by Swedish haulage company Scania, is hardly promising
what [zb] muppet wrote this pile of ■■■■■■ scania are now hauliers 
Mostly, it only has itself to blame. With strippers and even a ■■■ shop - albeit recently closed
i use to enjoy truckworld 
“It’s a much more sophisticated industry these days,” says Phil. With top-of-the-range lorries costing close to £750,000, he’s not joking.

And you don’t pull off in first, it’s usually third. It all feels very alien, but I get going without stalling.
if i pulled off in third fully loaded my gaffer would have my testicles in a vice

run by Swedish haulage company Scania

btw i work with a female LGV 1 driver and she F’s and Blinds and uses the C word more in one sentence than i ever would in a week
“If you picture the average British lorry driver, chances are it’s a white, middle-aged man”
thats about right.
“Currently only 1.3% of the UK’s lorry drivers are female”
i think its more than that, see plenty of ladies driving tippers nowadays.
“With strippers and even a ■■■ shop - albeit recently closed - a “feature” at some road-side truck stops, this is one notoriously unreconstructed industry.”
are they having a laugh, if there was a truckstop with male strippers i know a few famale drivers who would go, probably a few blokes to.
and this in the responses
“I used to be a long-distance truck driver but quit the industry because of the unsociable hours”
ive never known a long distance lorry driver to work 9 to 5.

containers 
all the time.
the only way to make sure you can pick the kids up from school is to start at midnight 
this is a male dominated industry mostly because it is most definatly not family friendly .
you can never ever garentee to be anywhere at a given time . i know it takes 3 hours to get to covent garden market most nights but if you get caught up in an incident on the motorway it could take for ever
