      I think most drivers become drivers from their fathers or uncles or whatever being in the industry, sadly we aren't aloud to take our children to work at our place anymore so none of mine will have the same passion I had from being out on the road

  • @mattdigby7626
    @mattdigby7626 Před rokem +6

    Your dad was a legend of a man. He certainly had a love for the industry Proper old school trucker!! He was a man who had spent his life on the road, knew a helluva lot about his job, but wasn't a bighead about it. A rare thing nowadays!! Definitely not like the cocky bullsh@tters you bump into occasionally!!. The thing that struck me most was how proud he was of you, Will !!! He was so happy that you followed in his footsteps. He may be gone, but will definitely never be forgotten. And he will be with you, every mile that you travel !! Best wishes, bud!! Thinking of you all

      I'd be proud if I was just half the man he was, taught me soo much about the industry from a very young age, spent many school days out on the road learning real world lessons. He's left a huge void in my life but I'll learn to live with the pain and carry on making memories with my own children.

    LOVED watching this mate, never see a FULL walkthrough with craning containers, so it was nice to watch something different. And RIP to your dad, sounded like a top trucker & Bloke🚛 Looking forward to seeing the new truck!
    Also, your crane is stubborn like mine, if the legs aren't fully out, it wants to be awkward!

    Sorry for loss Will, but I'm afraid it is something that comes to all of us. Both my parents died within 6 months of each other, both one day before their birthdays. That is no consolation to you, I know, but that is life, I'm afraid.
