Looks like it was once an enjoyable job. Its too stressful nowadays.

Your not gonna believe me but that’s my grandad Pete and the girl that wiped of his kiss is my aunt my grandad died 4 or 5 years ago of cancer and the person that’s posting this is my aunt

Brings back good memories of going to work with my dad in his Scania 111, I used to go all over Europe with him in the school holidays, it was always an adventure , he went onto Middle East work, Turkey, Syria, Iran Iraq and Saudi Arabia, on these trips he was gone for six weeks at a time, he was a real grafter,
RIP Dad 💚

That Dowty Scania is still registered at DVLA, last taxed 1983

Great Britain was Great back then.

I was 9 when this was made, when I look back it seems like an ancient era but at the time the cars and trucks looked advanced and modern 😂

When men were men and sheep were nervous. We used to call the log book the swindle sheet.
A different world, fantastic times and great camaraderie. Shit job now.

I never heard of Sue Jay before but she's a great, down-to-earth interviewer.

How things change! In 1974 we were manufacturing goods and exporting them to China!

I’m 65 now. I remember going on trips with my dad in the early ‘70’s when he used to do out and back runs from London in his lorry. When I was tired I used to curl up on a rug in the passenger footwell….this has brought lots of memories flooding back. Thanks.

I wish we could go back in time and start again

proper blokes , no snowflakes here.

nowadays we truckers eat as we drive and still  ppl complain why you late.too much pressure

I reckon she's just making small talk but she really wants you to pull over and...........

Absolutely marvelous film. I feel pangs of sadness as this seemed a more happier time. I was about 6 when this was shown.

Glad I found this . As a truck driver I find it interesting to look back at them years and see how different it was . Less traffic and restrictions and better drivers facilities ie transport cafes and digs . Although the trucks are much more comfortable and driver friendly. I really appreciate people like Pete and my grandad who drove back then . Real men

I WOULD LIKE TO SAY A MASSIVE THANK YOU TO ALL TRUCK DRIVERS DURING COVID-19 YOU ARE AS IMPORTANT AS THE NHS IS MY EYES ( NO DRUGS NO TREATMENT) AND YOU ALL KEPT THE COUNTRY MOVING DESPITE ALL THE EXTRA TROUBLES YOU HAD. THANK YOU !

I was expecting that guy to show Sue his yorkie bar

Used to eat those breakfasts in the 1960's. Only thing missing is the smell of the Woodbines.

Started my truck driving career around this time, just retired recently and loved every minute of it!
