Got a copy of ‘Kings of the Rigs’ last week and watched it…Very good…Should be more of these type of programs about instead of that Stobart and yankie stuff clogging up our TV’s…

Just watched the vid on here. Were all the drivers at the truckstop actors? cos I did not see a single high vis in there. :unamused:

That was made years ago,you can tell how much they enjoyed the job, just shows how much ‘health & safety’ has encroached on our lives. Can’t do much now without the ubiquitous ’ no win, no fee’ ambulance chasers. Don’t know how we survived before…Sorry, I’ll get off my soapbox now.

I know how much they enjoyed the job back then, I started driving 7.5s in 1971 when things were good. Advanced to Class 3 38 years ago. It has gone downhill since then, just like the wages

Is the full video up on youtube or the the Internet anywhere?

Can anyone remember the Outlaws program that featured 3 owner drivers (bellow)

Graham Cordiner
Kay Phillips
Chris ‘Squeaker’ Harriott

Was any more than one made? Has anyone got this on VHS/DVD at all (in full)? Anybody got the music or know what the music on it was?

Im looking to try and get my hands on this Program. Aired on the Discovery channel a while back now…

Thanks
