Im Dave from Liverpool age 18 so im not a truck driver. I only passed my car test in january.
I came across this site whilst looking for pictures of the Scania Longline. I thought i would join because I’ve been on the road alot with my grandad since i was in nappies aparently . My grandad retired last weekend so there wont be anymore travelling for me
My grandad worked for Abbey Road Tanks for the past 10 / 12 years. Picture below
He had this from new on an X plate… Then about 2-3 years ago he got given and 02 plate Mercedes Actros and a much larger tank because he was delevering chocolate instead of oils
Im gutted that i cant go with him anymore because one of the main places he use to go was Barry Callebaut in Banbury facing Prodrive, if we had a night out there we would go up the road to a pub called the Pepper Pot. One of my favourite places, so ive decided that im going to go down for a weekend sometime.
So. ill be hanging around here now so i still have trucking connections
Welcome to trucknet Daveyb great picture, you hang about as much as you like you are more than welcome and we have other members like yourself so you won’t have to wait for your licence alone.
Hes been there a few years now. He went there from Murfitts when he was laid off, which would be about 3 years ago.
The trouble is, I only know him as Steve. Never got to know his surname.
He owns a big, rough, old Mercedes van, rigged out as a camper.
Welcome to TN Daveyb, Ladyp & Belfast si.Hope you all enjoy the site.
Daveyb,why don’t you get your grandad to join the site and give us his experiance and all his tales from his time on the road.(he’ll have a few)and you can show him how to turn the computer on.
