Truck driver I suppose - never really thought about it :smiley:

I use ‘lorry’ most I reckon in relation to myself as a ‘lorry driver’.

But outwise I often use ‘truck’ and ‘wagon’ as well, sometimes ‘motor’ or ‘vehicle’ for whatever reason. I think I just like to vary what I say for dramatic effect…or something.

I tend to say HGV driver as far too many 7.5 ton van drivers call themselves truck or lorry drivers.
It cost me a lot of my money to get my HGV & I’m proud of it.

Currently…a marquee erector :smiley: until I get a driving job. then I’d be a lorry driver. A truck can be anything including a pick-up. and I didnt pay £1000 or as-good-as to drive one of them :exclamation: :open_mouth: :sunglasses: :smiley:

What’s in a name?

a rose is a rose no matter what you call it

through age and health I am now a van driver, run my own business and proud of it, and I respect all other drivers until they prove they don’t deserve it

age comes to us all, poor health, far to many
