WHAT’S UNSEEN BEHIND THE SCENES!
One thing I think people are starting to realise about my “Park It, or Pass It” feature on HGV1 Radio is this:
I don’t publicly highlight poor standards just for the sake of it.
Behind the scenes, I’m also contacting operators, services, truckstops and decision-makers directly to challenge the issues drivers are raising… and wherever possible, encourage improvements.
Because this has never been about “having a go.”
It’s about trying to make things better.
If drivers are paying to park, shower, eat and rest, then basic standards matter.
And when drivers repeatedly raise concerns about:
🚿 Filthy showers
🚽 Dirty toilets
🕳️ Pothole-riddled parking areas
💡 Poor lighting
🍔 Lack of healthy food choices
🔒 Security worries
🥶 Lack of basic comfort
…then somebody needs to say something.
But equally, when companies listen, respond and invest, they deserve credit too.
I’ll always cheerlead improvements just as loudly as I challenge problems 👍
That’s why I do what I do with My Truck Stop and HGV1 Radio.
Not to embarrass people.
Not to create drama.
But because drivers need to be heard.
And sometimes, a difficult conversation today can lead to a better truckstop tomorrow.
