Welcome aboard my website. Please stay a while.

A little bit of everything in transport , travel, and entertainment, including some nostalgia for those of us with a few miles under our belt have a look at the Gallery page where some of you will find some nice old pictures of people and places, some of which will hopefully stir the memories.

Truckcentrals own Roving Reporter John Shrubb, is on the case with hunting down more nostalgia for our enjoyment.

Somewhere and at sometime we will have crossed each others paths without even knowing it.

I hope you enjoy your visit here, and please come back and tell me if there is something you may like to add to it yourself, you will be most welcome.

There will be a Canadian theme to truckcentral in the near future when we follow a friend of mine, Steve Fielden from Brighouse West Yorkshire, on his epic Canadian adventure, one which many of you will have wanted to replicate at some time in your trucking career, at the moment, Steve is currently working alongside me at Huddersfield on night trunk work in the U.K. He will start back to Canada very soon, once back there, he will be sending a diary of his adventures, along with pictures and maybe a video or two, so this will be worth watching out for, I will be posting the stories and videos that Steve sends me.

For those of you that have ever thought of emigrating to Canada as a Long Haul Trucker, check out this website for further details. CANADA TRUCKING
