Job hasn’t changed that much has it?
Never stop for a pretty girl and pressure gauges in the toes. :smiley:
Imagine packing a trailer like that these days!

Thank christ those days are behind us.

Another driver that forgets to turn his coupling/platform lamp off.
Don’t you just love that ministry man doing his checks with a collar and tie, raincoat and trilby on?

Boiler suit and a peaked cap :laughing:

I’m guessing a few accidents were caused by not having side lights on those trailers.

That was fantastic!!! Guy smoking a ■■■ whilst blowing up the tyres, Guy smoking in the cab, “Stop for a cup of tea and a chat with the boys!!!” :smiley:

Probably have been in the 60’s when my Dad started driving trucks, this is a wee insight into his working day back then… How similar/different it is to mine these days :slight_smile:
