Truckfest Talk: Roy Hemsworth presents his Actros and love of trucking

DRIVERS

Knight in shining Actros: Roy keeps an eye out for road users in trouble.

We love getting to know our RoadStars. So at the start of September, we visited Truckfest South West to seek out Mercedes-Benz drivers and find out more about life on the road.


A real RoadStar.

Roy Hemsworth, who drives for Willmotts Transport, has been trucking since he was 21. He told us that he’s loved trucks since he was a kid and is proud of his driving career. During the harsh winter just gone, Roy would keep an eye out for stuck road users, offering a cup of tea and a warm cab if needed. His cab features a selection of flags from countries that he’s driven through – and he gives Mercedes-Benz Trucks a thumbs up! “I’ve driven a lot of trucks, I’ve driven Scania, I’ve driven Volvo… at the end of the day, Mercedes is what I like.”


Your stories.

Thanks Roy! Have you got any trucking stories that you’d like to share, or a truck you’d like to show off? Get in touch via the comments section below, and you could be the RoadStar of our next driver story!
