my new/old steed for next wk
Loading at Latina South Italy last week
Past my test in December. First lorry was Yellow Peril.
In March I was upgraded to the 63 plate.
Then last weekend I was given this amazing 15 plate FH4 to drive.

My latest tractor. I’ve got to say it’s the best I’ve driven yet. The only fault I can find is the mattress is a bit crap. Nothing that a memory foam topper won’t sort though.
Looking better than the rest of the fleet, missing deflectors, sunvisors, miss matched doors…
I know where you’re coming from there. The fleet manager tries to stay on top of it but unfortunately the majority of the drivers don’t give a monkeys about their trucks. If I ever have to drive one of the others you can guarantee the inside will resemble a 1970’s pub floor. I will never understand how folks can live in a truck like that.
The other day the night driver took mine out and it came back in a right bloody state. I wouldn’t dare bring someones weekly residence back in that state.
anyway, they’ve taken the Volvo off me and given me a Merc MP4. It’s a 2545 Streamspace. Certainly hasn’t got the space inside or lockers that the volvo had but overall it seems a nice drive. No bloody fridge though.
It’s the only Merc tractor in our fleet. So if you see it, give me a flash and I’ll send one back. (Lights, not John thomas. Unless you’re a female driver then feel free to flash away!!!)
Know what your saying on the fleet front. I work at spr trailer services. My van has the “mercenary” plate in the screen.

That doesn’t surprise me, they don’t have a brilliant reputation around here from what I can gather.
Iirc a rumor went round a couple of months ago that someone left the handbrake off on a new volvo. And it did a fair bit of damage when it rolled away…
