My name is Rick (Rick H when I occasionally join chat). I am a happily retired UK trucker. I took early retirement in 2017 and discovered Big Rig Travels just less than a year later, by accident, on YouTube.
This picture shows the truck I drove in the twilight of my career. It is a DAF CF, 440hp. The trailer is a double-deck 40' reefer and is 16' 4" high. It ran at up to 44 tonnes (around 97,000 lbs). My trucking career spanned 39 years and my career mileage was around 2 million miles - well, the UK is a pretty small island!!
