Truck drivers were "key workers" during the lockdowns, essential for keeping the supermarkets supplied.

And driving during the first lockdown was an extremely weird experience. It was a bit like being in one of those sci-fi films, like The Omega Man, where you are one of the last survivors on Earth. On normal Saturdays mornings in the Midlands, the roads are crowded with cars, as people are out and about, living life. Not so here; one of the major trunk roads in one of the most crowded parts of the UK, completely empty, as you can see.

Weekdays under lockdown were hardly any different; the only things on the roads were trucks, vans, and emergency vehicles. It felt like the end of World.
