Why would anyone drive these things all day as a hobby?

I really, really, really want to have a go in one.

How easy is it to get into the trucking game these days? I've always fancied driving on for a living.

He works at James Irlam I think, or Stobart?

If I had to guess, I'd say the Stobart lorry in his sig might give it away

Stobart bought out Irlams a few months back

Will you get one?

Also, what is the average life expectancy of the average cab? (Age and/or mileage)

The ones at my Dad's work are getting on for 1,000,000km now, and are only 4.5 years old :eek:

Our trucks are so rubbish

Our transport unit has a Scania at 550,000 miles and still going strong every day, it has gone on as a bit of a local icon. It has just been serviced and passed regulation.

That's the argument about seatbelts in trucks.

If you hit a car/light vehicle - They make no difference

Hit a truck..... they wont make a difference !! (Your'll be jam)

Only thing missing on the driver support is this function "Get out of the middle lane you road hog"
