Track a Truck was born out of a desire to have a searchable database dedicated to the European trucking sector. This was then expanded to cover all non UK fleets and finally now UK fleets. The site is owned by Phil Sears who is ably assisted by two Administrators, Gerhard Wallentin and Jonno Wright.
Phil was born in Birmingham in 1942 moving to Burntwood, Staffordshire, in 1965 where he still lives. He worked 33 years for the various incarnations of BT followed by 20 years at The Belfry, the spiritual home of the Ryder Cup, where he worked in the Conference division. He retired in 2013.
Gerhard was born in 1961 in Austria moving in 1996 to Belgium. He has recently retired as VIP chauffeur to the European Commission. This has given him a wealth of knowledge of the European trucking scene. He is a regular visitor to the UK having family through his marriage to Sharon.
Jonno was born in 1986 in the Surrey countryside but now lives between Portsmouth and Southampton. He developed an interest in trucks from an early age due to his relatives owning the Great Yarmouth haulage company Spandler Bros. Being a truck enthusiast for over 30 years and spending his working life in transport and logistics has given him a formidable knowledge. He specialises in fleets from the 90's and early 00's which provides a great historical aspect to the information we have available.
So, you can see we bring a wealth of knowledge to this site and our aim is to provide a comprehensive coverage of the Worldwide trucking sector. We will do our very best to maintain this database as accurate as possible but this is very difficult due to the lack of access to official records. Any help that we are given will be most appreciated. Due to holidays beyond Europe, particularly the USA and Australia, the database will also list vehicles noted beyond European boundaries. We hope you enjoy this site which will be amended on a regular basis.
