🚽🎬 “DON’T WORRY… IT’S A MOVIE!”

But, for many drivers…
THIS CAN BE REALITY.

We laugh at scenes like this in films because they’re supposed to be exaggerated.

🔸 Over the top
🔸 Disgusting
🔸 Unbelievable

Except sometimes they’re not.

Because at times, drivers across the UK are STILL walking into:

🚽 Filthy toilets
🚿 Mouldy showers
💡 Poorly maintained facilities
🦠 Hygiene standards that shouldn’t exist in 2026

Drivers aren’t being dramatic when they complain.

Some facilities can genuinely be this bad.

And whilst many truckstops are working hard to improve standards, some facilities are still letting drivers down badly.

That’s why MyTruckStop.co.uk was created:

🚛 Real drivers
📸 Real photos
⭐ Real reviews
📢 Real pressure for change

Because if something is unacceptable in a movie…
Why is it acceptable in real life?

So next time you see poor standards…

✔️ REPORT IT
✔️ REVIEW IT
✔️ RATE IT

🚛🕳️ FROM POTHOLES… TO PROGRESS 👏

Fair play Moto… this is genuinely positive to see.

They’ve been resurfacing and realigning parking areas across 32 locations, with just a handful left to complete.

Drivers have been talking about potholes, damaged parking areas and rough surfaces for a long time… so when companies actually invest money into improving sites, that deserves acknowledging 👍

Was it disruptive?
Of course.

But resurfacing busy HGV parking areas whilst keeping sites operational was never going to be easy.

The important thing is this:

🔸 Problems were recognised
🔸 Money was invested
🔸 Improvements are being made

Because drivers don’t expect perfection.

But they DO want to see standards improving instead of problems being ignored year after year.

Credit where it’s due, Moto 🚛👏

And drivers… whenever you stop on the MOTOway, don’t forget to leave a rating and review on MyTruckStop.co.uk 🚛👍

THE POLITICS OF PARKING! 🅿️

On Saturday’s HGV1 Radio “Park It or Pass It” feature, we discussed the experience of one of my driver community members, Neil Colley, and the government response he received regarding HGV parking.

The response spoke about millions being invested into parking, security and welfare improvements, alongside continued engagement with stakeholders.

It also stated that drivers deserve “safe and secure parking, as well as comfortable facilities.”

And honestly?

It’s the word “deserve” where I personally take exception 😡

Because safe parking, security, toilets, showers and decent facilities should not be treated as some kind of reward drivers must earn.

They are an essential part of the supply chain.

Because whilst government responses sound wonderful on paper, drivers still can’t park in a paragraph.

They NEED:
🔸 Actual spaces.
🔸 Actual security.
🔸 Actual lighting.
🔸 Actual facilities.

Because none of the announcements, meetings or strategies mean a thing to a trucker driving round full truckstops at 9pm with their legal driving time running dangerously low.

At that moment, the only politics that matter are whether they can find somewhere safe to stop.

And right now, far too many still can’t.

🚛 NEVER TYRE OF A SAFE ‘FOOT DOWN FRIDAY’…

June already… and 2026 is disappearing quicker than a free parking space at 6pm!

For many drivers, it’s another “foot down Friday” trying to get that final run done and get home safely.

And when you think about it, everything depends on four small patches of rubber no bigger than your palm.

🚛 Braking
🌧️ Grip
⚠️ Stability
🏠 Getting drivers home safely

That’s why MyTruckStop is proud to be working alongside The Tyre Network, supporting the people behind the scenes who help keep Britain’s trucks moving safely every single day.

So here’s to the tyre fitters, roadside crews and breakdown teams keeping the wheels turning.

Safe travels everyone 👍

🚛 YOU CAN’T PARK IN A SPACE THAT DOESN’T EXIST…

The UK economy has lost more than £1 billion to freight crime since 2020.

At the same time, we’re still estimated to be around 11,000 HGV parking spaces short.

And whilst people debate, survey and discuss the problem…

Drivers are still running out of legal hours and parking wherever they can:

🔸 Lay-bys
🔸 Industrial estates
🔸 Dark business parks

Not because they want to.
Because they often have no choice.

That’s the bit that gets missed.

You can fit cameras, alarms and tracking systems…

But if drivers can’t find secure parking, the opportunity for criminals already exists before the engine is even switched off.

We’ve known about the shortage for years.

🔸 We’ve discussed it
🔸 Reported on it
🔸 Debated it in Parliament

Yet here we are in 2026 still talking about missing HGV parking spaces.

This isn’t just a driver issue.

🔸 It’s a security issue
🔸 A supply chain issue
🔸 An economic issue

Because every time a driver is forced to park somewhere vulnerable, somebody somewhere has already accepted that risk on their behalf.

Freight crime doesn’t begin with a criminal.

It begins with a lack of safe parking.

Drivers NEED better.

The question is…

How many more years are we going to keep saying it?

🚛⚡ GET YOUR MOTO CHARGING…

Moto’s latest EV investment announcement wasn’t just about batteries and charging bays.

Buried in the headlines was something far more important 👇

⚡ 15 dedicated eHGV charging superhubs
⚡ 100+ truck charging bays per site
🔒 Better security
🚿 Better driver facilities

Now whether trucks run on diesel, electricity, fairy dust or Yorkshire Tea… the driver still needs:

🚿 A decent shower
🍔 Decent food
💡 Good lighting
🔒 Safe parking
🚻 Clean facilities

The industry talks constantly about driver shortages.

Maybe attracting and keeping drivers starts with stopping basic welfare being treated like an optional extra.

Because drivers need better…
Whether the truck is electric or not 🚛

HERE’S A ‘NEET’ IDEA THAT MIGHT JUST HELP! 🚛

Over a million young people in the UK are now classed as NEETs… Not in Employment, Education or Training.

At the very same time, transport and logistics is crying out for people.

Not just drivers.
PEOPLE.

And maybe part of the problem is this…

We often see logistics portrayed as some grim, miserable industry nobody would ever choose to join.

Is it perfect?
Of course not.

If it was, there’d have been no reason to create MyTruckStop.co.uk in the first place.

But the reality is often very different to the image being painted.

Modern logistics is packed with technology, innovation and opportunity.

Today’s trucks are basically rolling computers full of cameras, telematics and advanced safety systems.

And if driving isn’t your thing?
There are careers in planning, warehousing, engineering, transport management, IT, compliance, customer service, marketing and much more.

🔸Many roles don’t require a degree.
🔸Many offer genuine progression.
🔸Many give people the chance to earn, learn and build a future.

So perhaps instead of constantly talking the industry down, we should spend a bit more time showing young people what it actually has to offer.

Because if over a million young people are looking for direction, and logistics is looking for people…

Surely there’s a conversation worth having somewhere in the middle. 🚛
