Sorry, there’s not been much from Tachoblog today, but we’re not going to not bring you this week’s View From The Cab.

Just as Tachoblog has hoped, this feature is getting bigger each week and, as you’ll see, we have a few new members of the Tachoblog Tribe joing us – and some apologies for absence too!

Anyway, without further ado, let’s kick off with a couple from Tachoblog.  The first is of a Church in Hemel Hempstead, Herts., England where the blossom is in full effect.

This is the Kodak Tower, again in Hemel Hempstead.  The crane that you can see poking up over the top of the building is the one climed to get the pictures for Tachoblog And The Magic Roundabout – Again.

Heydriver and Goldie were heading under ‘The Apartments’ that span I-95N just after crossing the George Washington Bridge (The GWB) in NYC.

Unfortunately, Goldie later felt a bit unwell so later on had to wait at their yard for the doctor (mechanic) -  Hope you’re ok again now Goldie.

Finally, The Great Canadian Pumpkin sent in this shot.  Although, as you’ll read, it isn’t from today, it does carry a safety message.  Over to you GCP…

‘After switching trucks for a new department in my company, I realised that I forgot my camera, so here is another one taken earlier this year.  This is 15 miles north of Minot, ND on US 52.  Lesson learned: Windshield + Pheasant + 65 mp/h = Interesting View From The Cab icon smile

And if you want to know what the Canadian Pumpkin looks like, here it is in a great shot that GCR also sent in.
