Description

📘 GET THE FULL BRITISH DRIVER'S GUIDE https://gary-webster.vercel.app/ Ask any British lorry driver where they'll park up tonight, and the answer usually isn't motorway services. Thousands of HGV drivers now avoid motorway services for their overnight rest, even when their hours are up and they're shattered. So what's really going on in the lorry parks of 2026? In this video, I give it to you straight: ▶ Why drivers feel unsafe parking up at services overnight ▶ Slashed curtains, fuel theft and stolen loads, and who ends up paying for it ▶ The overnight parking charges that come out of drivers' own pockets ▶ Why you can't find a space after 7pm on half the network ▶ Grim showers, closed food outlets and the lack of basic facilities ▶ Where drivers are going instead, and whether it's any better ▶ What needs to change before Britain loses even more drivers If you've ever woken up at 3am to someone trying your door, or driven round a full lorry park with minutes left on your hours, tell us in the comments. Which services would you never sleep at again? 👍 Like the video if you think drivers deserve better 🔔 Subscribe for honest, no-nonsense talk about life on Britain's roads 💬 Drop your worst services story below, and Gary reads them all #HGVDriver #UKTrucking #LorryDriver #TruckStop #MotorwayServices #Haulage #BritishTruckers #TruckerLife #HGV
