Hi, I’m Matt 👋
I’m a UK HGV driver and the person behind Trucker Matt UK.
I started sharing my life behind the wheel to give people a genuine look at what it’s really like working as an HGV driver in the UK.
From early starts and building site deliveries to motorway miles, truck shows and nights out in the cab, I film the good, the bad and everything in between.
