A day in the life of a professional driver

Back in Meinerzhagen – full of impressions and with a heartfelt thank you

In the fourth and final part of our series, we return to where it all began: Meinerzhagen. Together with our driver Jörg, we followed his daily routine on the road – from the first stop to the final delivery.

What remains is an honest and authentic look behind the scenes of logistics. And above all, a deep sense of respect for everyone who is on the road every day, ensuring that goods reach their destinations reliably.

Thank you, Jörg, for your time, your dedication, and your openness.

And a sincere thank you to all drivers – your work is the foundation of smooth and dependable logistics operations.

Now it was all about careful planning and smart loading:
To protect the smaller pallets, they were loaded offset on top, ensuring everything stays securely in place during transport. The larger pallets were positioned at the front, the smaller ones at the rear – delivering maximum stability and safety on the road.

Our star on the highway:
The MAN TGX 18.510 – 510 hp of pure power. Driver Jörg is impressed: outstanding driving comfort, confident handling, and simply a dream vehicle for everyday operations. Logistics with a clear plan – safe, efficient, and well thought out.

The engine is running, the tour has started – full focus on the road
With the journey underway, it’s time for full concentration on the road. Our colleague Jana continues to accompany professional driver Jörg, experiencing first-hand what everyday life behind the wheel of a truck is really like.

With an impressive remaining range of 3,590 km, the truck is well prepared for long distances. But on the highway, it’s about more than just technology: attention, experience, and a strong sense of traffic situations are key to ensuring a safe and smooth journey.

Technical highlights of the MAN eTGX:

Construction zones, traffic jams, and unclear situations are part of everyday life – as is constant awareness of other road users. Particularly striking are cyclists disappearing into blind spots and the lack of awareness some road users show toward truck drivers.

The motorway as a workplace – a look behind the scenes
What does the everyday life of a professional driver actually look like? In part 1 of our series, our colleague Jana accompanies experienced driver Jörg and gains an authentic insight into the daily routine – from the very first minute.

The day begins early with a thorough vehicle check:
technology, safety and equipment are checked before hitting the road. After the check, they collect the documents for the upcoming tour in the THD, followed by refuelling – an important part of the preparation, because nothing works without diesel.

Jörg shows Jana how complex and responsible the job behind the wheel really is. It's not just about driving – it's about planning, communication and precise processes.

The first part of our series makes it clear:
the profession of driver is varied, demanding and systemically important. Without it, nothing works in logistics – and that's exactly why it's worth taking a look behind the scenes.
