Peter Sumpter was born on 23 July 1948 in Barking, Essex, and he has been driving trucks on and off for more than 45 years.

He started driving while serving in the RAF, and after five years including a tour in the Gulf he came home and started with Brain Haulage, where over the next 20 years he took photos and kept a diary.

After the company finished he worked his way up from driver to become the transport manager of Elstran Freighters. When that company also finished, he moved on to become transport manager of Pentalvers, part of the large Maersk group of companies at its Tilbury Docks depot, until his retirement from the transport industry.

He lives in Tilbury, Essex, with his wife, Brenda, and son, Leigh David.
