specialised Frode Laursen machine.
When Kjeld has free time, he oen spends
it on two wheels. Cycling is his big hobby and
it helps keep his body moving. It has had a few
knocks in life. Kjeld smashed one of his knees in
a traffic accident, but worst of all are the problems he has with his back, which stem from
fracturing his T12 vertebra.
“I continued working for a month. Then I
had to see the doctor. He couldn’t understand
how I could work, and nor could I anymore.”
INSTRUCTOR FOR NEW DRIVERS
For eight years, Kjeld worked as a safety representative and senior safety representative. He
has also been one of the experienced drivers
who trains new drivers for many years. However, being a truck driver does not always align
with some newcomers’ wishes to be home by
precisely 4 p.m.
“This job can be tough. I see it as the stores
must have their goods. Some days, you have
many places to get to and you’re up against it.
Other days, you can relax a bit more.”
