Transport Cafes & Truck Stops

Transport Cafes (Truck Stops) is a web site serving HGV drivers (heavy goods vehicles) Multi Drop, Public Service Vehicle Drivers (PSV PCV), all professional drivers (truckers) and Commercial Travellers, the Transportation and Haulage Industry generally, and of course Transport cafes (Truck Stops) themselves. The links to these pages are at the top of the left side of this page.
We list Day & overnight Truck Stops (which can be Transport Cafes or Lorry Parks) for trucker's heavy goods vehicles, Articulated vehicles, which all need ample parking space. Coach Drivers stops and their passengers. The region covered is, EU, UK, England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland (The Emerald Isle) and wherever a Driver goes. Some Transport Cafes, Truck Stops & Lorry Parks can offer accommodation for HGV Drivers, Professional, Multi Drop and Commercial Travellers.

Driving Hours for Drivers

Truckers (professional drivers), may need to look at the permitted hours driving section on this web site. (SEE LINK ON OTHER SIDE OF PAGE) Lorry Parks, Truck Stops or Transport Cafes can be a safe haven when Driving Hours are reaching maximum. If you are travelling the EU region it can initially require a lot of studying. It’s possible for HGV drivers (truckers), to travel through a number of countries in the same day. Some different rules may apply. Haulage and Transportation is a stressful Industry and all Multi Drop drivers (goods vehicle drivers, truckers) in the UK need to be aware of driving hours rules & regulations. The drivers hours link to driving hours is in the left hand column of this page. The drivers hours subject covers, drivers legal hours, drivers hours, UK drivers hours, EU drivers hours, EU and UK drivers hours combined. In 2005 links were added after hours of searching to find those relevant to professional drivers, I think this is now better that keeping in-house pages which can get out of date.

WHITE LINING and Recovery & Tyre Fitters Drivers

I have a mail from a driver who has been white lining for more than 36 years, he is concerned that he may not make retirement age, seriously, so please give them gentle honk before passing close, followed by a friendly wave. This applies of course to all road works personal, we all have a job to do, keep them safe, as we like to be.
Also a mail from David Stretton on behalf of all professional recovery drivers and our colleagues the tyre fitters, who are working on the hard shoulder inches from 90kms per hour vehicles. You can see us a fair distance away because of our beacons, please respect our position and move over into lane 2 if possible, to give us living space. HGV please dont overtake past us. Suction from passing trucks can pull us into the road, thank you all - in anticipation.

This website is perhaps best viewed on a PC at 1680X1050 or wide screen display, however it is designed to flex to the size of your screen at 1024X768 with MS explorer 5/6/7 all service packs. All pages are now being designed to work on Firefox, some older pages my not do so. The code is 100% validated CSS1 CSS2 advanced.

Designing a web page to flex and fill all browser window sizes and resolutions can be difficult for webmasters, hence you will very often see restricted sizes presentations, not using the screen you have paid good money for. In recent years the number of permutations has grown to a vast number, so always-perfect layout may not be achieved, I beg your indulgence!
