Brian Wilson says the route from Lancaster to Windemere is one of his favourites in the whole country
As he enters his 92nd year, Britain's oldest truck driver says he has no plans to stop his seven decade trucking career.
He said: "I don’t even think about giving up, I just carry on while I can, while I feel fit enough. But I think I’ll know when it’s time to call it a day." “When you go up Lancaster way and Windemere, that’s a really nice run. I did London for ten years but that was in my 40s." Life in the fast lane hasn’t been all plane sailing for Brian, who said he’s had numerous close calls with other motorists, leaving him thankful to be alive. He said: “I’ve had some near-bad accidents. One time a lorry came across the road and hit the car in front of me. It was on a dual-carriageway.Brian also said when he first started his career he had to load and unload his cargo, in contrast to the fairly automated pallet-based systems truckers have these days.
