Time for this week’s View From The Cab (VFTC) then…

If you don’t know what VFTC is, the idea’s simple; members of the Tachoblog Tribe send in one or two (or even three) pictures of what they can  / have seen out of their cab along with a brief description.  Tachoblog collates the images and we get VFTC.

This week we’re starting with the good news that, after a (no doubt long) month, LorryDay is back on the road again and sending in his pictures.  First off from Gloucester, England…

…And then on the M40 in Buckinghamshire as he heads home again.

Meanwhile Tachoblog peers at the M25 near J23 in Hertfordshire…

…before entering the lanes somewhere near Borehamwood (where the UK ‘Big Brother’ house is don’t you know).

Over in Germany, Rainerri1967 was with his new truck waiting to be unloaded in Kenzingen near Freiburg…

Over in America Little Trucker had headed into the Midwest to find some peace and quiet. First stop, a beautiful sunset in the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas…

…She says ‘If you look close enough you can almost see the Rocky Mountains…Just teasing but Kansas does stretch on for miles’…

…And finally, heading home, she catches this shot of the famous St Louis Gateway Arch.  The Gateway to the West – apparently.

In Australia, TwoCrowsDown had enjoyed the early morning view at Munjina Gorge lookout in the Pilbara, Western Australia…

…But wasn’t so keen on the fog northbound between Wubin and Paynes Find.

Back in the USA, Amishtrucker was driving through Crystal City, Texas looking at a statue of Popeye (there on the right)…

…Later he headed into Laredo, Texas on I35 heading under the bridge from Loop 20 to Northbound I35.

Heydriver and Goldie were sighing in the rain  on NJ Rte 17 S near Moonachie, New Jersey…

…They then stopped near Union City where ‘Old Glory fights against the rain’…

…And then on to Goya Foods near Secaucus where, Heydriver tells us that ‘this guard rail has destroyed many bumpers’ [But never Goldie's we hope!].

The Great Canadian Pumpkin was, unsurprisingly, in Canada – Toronto, Ontario to be precise – where he saw something in his mirror that would be more at home a little closer to Tachoblog…

…Alongside…

…And then off.

SurfingTrucker was staying on the Pumpkin theme whilst at his terminal near Carlisle in Pennsylvania where ‘a group of our old trucks being sold of sit next to a group of brand new trucks.’

Trucker Desiree and Karma the Wonderdog were at Bald Knob, Arkansas, with Karma thinking about switching roles…

Finally Emailokc wished us a good morning from Cincinnati Ohio and said it was ‘time to get out of bed, your burning daylight!’ while he was at dock getting unloaded.
