  • Sleeping in a truck, Eating in a truck.
    Basically my whole routine and what I do to keep myself busy. Staying away in my truck showing you around the cab.
    If you are interested in a work life in the truck industry and want to see life away from home.

    About 30 years ago I lived in a 143 for one year. Loved it. Simple living. Laundry in Charlton on my way to Dover. Shower on the ferry. Small camping gas stove. Kettle and small saucepan. Used these if I was stranded somewhere remote waiting for a return load. After a few months with the ' normal' people I moved back in for another 15 months. I can recommend it.

      You are hardy, I love a 143 and the bed down the back but that’s a shift to live in, proper driver 🤙🏻

    Im a canadian truck driver and its super interesting to see all. The differences but many similarities between countries. When I started driving I had only a 52inch bunk so pretty similar in size to your cab and would spend 2 to 3 weeks out on the road. Now my cab is probably twice that size with only 3 to 5 night a week away from home. I also makes me laugh the differences in size and length of trucks and trailers, I can't imagine my 80ft truck and float trailer fitting on those roads, I barely fit on some if the roads In our older towns and cities.
