Florian loves the variety in his MAN TGX

Trucker Florian Wagner has been driving a MAN truck since August 2021. A change that he is still happy about a year later and that inspires him to keep dreaming of lion power.

Who wants to sit in the office day in and day out if you can spend your time in a truck instead? Trucker Florian Wagner certainly doesn’t, which is why he decided to start training to become a professional trucker in 2007. He backs that decision to this day:

‘I put my heart and soul into the job and still enjoy it.’

He likes the variety that his profession brings. There are always new challenges or environments to be discovered. But he also greatly appreciates the contact he has with regular customers. However, there is one thing he would change if he could: in his opinion, there is too much competitiveness in the world of work and he would not complain if people put more effort into working together instead.

He works for the forwarding company KRAFT Transporte GmbH in his powerful MAN TGX. 95% of his transportation tasks involve plastic pipes, which he primarily supplies to large construction sites, where he travels regularly. In most cases, he says, there is enough space and the destinations are easily accessible.

Last year, however, he had to get used to the new MAN TGX, the first lion he had the opportunity to drive. Before that, he spent years on the road with trucks from another manufacturer. ‘I am very satisfied and happy that I chose to drive a MAN truck,’ Florian reveals.

Above all, the 33-year-old no longer wants to go without the driving comfort and the spacious nature of his lion. And he is also a fan of the music system. When he does allow himself to dream, his mind is still on MAN vehicles: ‘A three-axle vehicle and 640 h.p. would be quite nice,’ he laughs.

Nevertheless, he recognises the value of his current lion: ‘I’m very satisfied with my truck and happy,’ he says. We hope that continues for the driver from Hungen and that he can spend a lot of time with his family and friends, because alongside his work, that is one of his favourite hobbies.
