Hi All,

I’m keen to find out what it is that has attracted you to a career as a lorry driver?

Thanks for your input!

Welcome to the forum!

Hi Evil8Beezle

Thanks for the welcome!

I work within an HR team for a multi-national company, and we are currently re-strategizing our driver recruitment. What better way to find out what attracts people to these types of roles than to ask drivers first hand!

I’ll take that as a yes then! :smiley:
Although it was a rhetorical question… :wink:

Well for me it was because as a fully committed gym and bodybuilding fairy, I was finding I was “meeting” the same men over and over again, so wanted some fresh flesh. I’ve always had a thing for dirty, smelly, common looking men of low intelligence, so thought it would tie in nicely with my hobby of killing prostitutes, with the added bonus of allowing me to dispose of them rolling in carpet randomly around the county. So far I’m loving it, I get to spend many an hour savouring the aroma of stale urine in MSA’s throughout the country, and showering in the most filth infested toilets I’ve ever seen… I’ve been collecting verrucas like Pokemen, and almost have a full set! :smiley: The RDC holding cells a a real treat and highlight of my day, as I can chew the fat amoungst other things, rub up against so many ex SAS veterans it’s almost unbelievable and smell of stale body odour almost sends me into raptures! :smiley:

Hope that helps! :grimacing:

P.S. If you want to know what this site things of Brokers, do a search on something like “parasites”. :wink:

I want a big mobile home and you can only tow a small caravan behind a car, so becoming a lorry driver is definitely the way to go. Plus I love travelling on empty roads listening to my favourite radio station. Hope this helps.

Hi, may I ask what the name of the multi national company is.

Oh and never use the phrase re-strategizing again, sounds clever in middle management meetings but not so good amongst higher IQ truckers.

To answer your question though, trucking for me is in the blood, after dabbling with high level SEO and internet marketing techniques including google algorithm compliance and govt think-tank freelance work which lead to a lucrative position with a well known tintertweb marketplace until I got bored and realised my place was on the open road. Fate, destiny etc call it what you wish but after many years looking at a PC screen I had to escape.

The irony that I spend a lot of nights out staring at a PC screen for entertainment is not lost on me either.

Was told it was an even lazier job than being an HGV recruiter so works for me

Cheers :wink:

Why did you do it? - OLD TIME LORRIES, COMPANIES AND DRIVERS (INTERACT - Trucknet UK

Because it’s a broker who’s only interest is trying to target their marketing, so they can rip off unsuspecting Newbies! :imp:

Well spotted. Maybe the previous answers werent the ones the OP wanted? I wouldnt have thought the current answers will exactly fill them with joy either.
